You know you love a product when you come home from your runs and tell (or text) your husband, “THESE (yes, I am screaming because I am so excited) are my new favorite piece of running gear. I seriously do not know how I ever lived without them.”
JayBird sent me the BLUEBUDS X a little over a month ago and I have been using them on all of my runs (even the treadmill).
They are wireless headphones that connect to your phone (or any other blue tooth enabled device) via blue tooth. I ALWAYS have my phone with me when I run and so I knew that these would be perfect for me because I hate cords (those darn headphone cords always get stuck in my 4 layers of lip gloss, they always seem to be tangled and get caught on my hands. I can’t tell you how many times my hand has gotten caught on my headphone cord and made my phone or iPod crash to the treadmill belt).
-The sound on these babies are incredible… I like my Britney and Linkin Park to sound good when I am running. I take quality sound while I am running very seriously.
-It feels like you aren’t even wearing any headphones and you have an awesome surround system of music following you for your entire run. They are super comfortable!
-You can ANSWER phone calls and TALK while you run (built in microphone) which means my mom gets to hear me tell her every aspect of my day even more often.
-They are very user friendly and easy to set up. They come with 3 different sizes of ear tips and 3 different sizes of secure fit ear cushions so that they fit your ear perfectly. They don’t fall out which is one of my biggest pet peeves about normal headphones, these ones stay comfortably secure for your entire run.
-The controls on the headphones for volume/switching songs/on & off buttons/phone are super easy to use!
-To charge (they lasted me about a weeks worth of runs ((8 hours)) before I needed to charge them) you just stick the USB Cable into the computer.
The only con that I can think of is that they are a little pricey but if you are a music obsessed runner like I am then they are worth it!
Check out the BLUEBUDS X!!

Trashy euro-pop! I can’t tell you how much of my playlist is comprised of dance numbers from the Eurovision song contest. The rest of it is the same type of pop music I used to listen to when I was 12.
jen uzmann
Love to download mixes from Rockmyrun.com. also love Jillian Michaels podcasts. And i totally do the same thing getting tangled in the headphone cord every run!
Debbie Leedy
I listen to everything on runs – depends on my mood and goal for the run! A lot of hip hop/top 40! I love the idea of getting rid of cords. How genius! Why did it take so long for that to become a thing????
Tiffany
I can’t run without music! These head phones would be awesome! I love to run to upbeat hip hop music!
Melissa @ Mouthwatering Morsel
omg this is amazing! I listen to mostly emo or alternative music when I run!
Jessica
I have a very bizarre playlist for my runs! Everything from pop, country, to 80s! I love music & can’t stand to run without it. My husband is a musician so I love to listen to his album while running too!!
Melissa @ Mouthwatering Morsel

Wendy
I love to listen to almost everything when I run- rock, dance, rap, top 40. You name it, its on my playlists!
Jamie
I Love running to techno, it really gets me to pick up my pace!
Paige
I listen to Disney Pandora when I run… nothing like a little “hakuna matata” to help you get through your miles :)
Cate
I love upbeat music- usually rap, pop, or rock, otherwise I lose motivation!
Catherine
If I’m on the treadmill, I’m reading (I need as many distractions as possible!) so classical. On the trails, it’s a mix! From Garth to Mr. Big, I’m all over the place lol!
Jayne
My favorite song to run to is independence day – Martina McBride.
These look great!
Kayla @ Fit Life Forward
For training runs I have a “chill” mix with slower alternative rocks songs and things like Mumford and Sons – when I am really trying to workout hard I have a few rap songs I like but mostly harder rock – like Godsmack.
Amy
I run to all kinds of music. The cordless head phones would be great. I hate getting tangled up :(
[email protected]
I just listened to Justin Bieber Radio on Pandora and I’m not embarrassed to say I loved it (well, maybe a little embarrassed, but that’s ok)! I’d love these headphones because when I run in Flagstaff I always want to easily layer (on and off) since it is colder/warmer along the run depending on if you are in the sun or not!
[email protected]
… and I just facebooked about it!
Hannah
I love running to anything upbeat! Call me maybe is still one of my favorite songs to run to! :)
Megan
6 foot 7 foot by lil Wayne ! I keep it on repeat when I’m struggling :)
Mollie
I like to listen to music when I run to help me with some speed (or lack thereof). On “Music Mondays” I pick out a handful of songs and when they come on, I run as fast as my body can handle for that song. Maybe not be the most scientific speed workout but it works for me and that’s what matters. This week, “All of the Lights” by Kanye and “Magic” by B.O.B. were my fast songs.
sharon @runforyourlife!
These looks great!! Music that gets me movin’! :)
Kelly D
I listen to Hip Hop, and my current ear buds are really uncomfortable, so I would like these. thanks.
Why would you walk when you can run?
My favorite song to run to at the moment is Outta My Mind by B.o.B featuring Nicki Minaj!!! :)
Rachel Rinderknecht
I love running to pop songs or techno! My current fav is Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger”. It is THE best! I love listening to it when I am having a hard run!
Matt
I like old country and hard rock.
Allison R.
I love listening to Fleetwood Mac on nice easy run!
Tonya @ Will Run For Yoga
I love listening to rock and hip hop when I run. My current favorite song to run to is “Streets Have No Name” by U2
Marissa Finn
I want to win the wireless airbuds because my children – yes I said children – have managed to find a way to chew through the wires on both my iPhone headsets! I need these not just for my running sanity but for the safety of my children! ;)

I want these because they are AWESOME!
Allie
I used to be really into Jock Jams (flashback!), but lately Rihanna has been my go-to choice!
Connie
run this town by jay z and rihanna!
RoseRunner
One of my favorite music memories while running was…the entire soundtrack to Les Miserables. Yup.
Gina, book dragon
I listen to country, boy bands, rock, oldies, … it’s the beat or happy feeling I get when I listen. Or the simple fact that I don’t go nuts listening to the same songs over and over again. :-)
Right now I have Honey Bee, Wasted Whiskey, Every Morning, Shake your bon-bon, and If you want it to be good girl, among others on my list
I’m tired of the cord and the bluetooth ones I have bounce funny on the back of my neck :-(
Amanda
I absolutely have to listen to music while I run! I have two playlists to listen to. One for warm-up/cool-down, with lighter music that gets me pumped up, like Rhianna, but then I have a second list for running, with longer, more intense songs like Lose yourself by Eminem, and Imagine Dragons. These would make life so much easier!!!!
Annie K
I really love to run to Sing, Sing, Sing performed by Benny Goodman – really odd I know, but it gets me going! Also, Road to Nowhere by the Talking Heads. Wow – these make me sound really old.
Tracie
I love when Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger comes on when I’m running. Always makes me pick up the pace!
Liz
these would be perfect… i’m always getting my arms caught on my headphone cord on the treadmill!
Candice
I love to run to pop music :)
Jen
I HATE cords so these are perfect. Also a little Taylor Swift always boosts my runs! :)
Larry Duncan
I love to listen to fast paces Christian rock music when I run. My favorite is a group called Petra.
Jen
My gosh I HATE cords to so these are perfect. A little Taylor Swift always boosts my run also :)
Nik
I listen to a such a variety of music, from Rihanna to 80’s and 90’s songs, anything upbeat and with a good tempo. I think I would be a bit embarrassed for someone to get ahold of my running playlist but if I don’t have music I run so much slower.
Lacey
I lalalalalove running to some Taylor Swift! That or some good pop remixes! Little Brooke is just sooo cute ! :)
Laura @ Backstage Balance
My favorite song to run to is “Running on Empty” by Jackson Browne. And yes, I am a huge nerd!

I love to mix it up when it comes to running music…I usually have a little bit of everything on my playlist! Now I just need some awesome wireless headphones :)
Samantha
I love to run to pop music and run and dance or when I’m in the mood rock out and get out my frustration!
Valerie
I love mash-ups of old school R&B and current pop tunes. I’m currently running to a sweet playlist including “Midnight Life” by The White Panda–this song samples M83’s Midnight City with Kanye West’s Good Life. AMAZING. Check it out!
Kara t.
I love running to Taylor Swift. And Girl Talk.
Melissa R

tanne
I have a huge mix of music. I really love anything with a good beat. I’m not going to lie, sometimes a few swears will get me going too. I normally buy the family friendly version of songs but sometimes I need a swear or two. Don’t tell my mom ;)
My daughter is a month older than your adorable Brooke. They’re just so fun at this age! We’re loving every minute of it.
Brooke B
I love running to pandora! Some old school backstreet boys and NSYNC is the best! Totally get some weird looks from the cars passing by, but my 4 month old loves my singing! She gets mad when pandora plays commercials!

waheeda

Thanks for the great giveaway!

Jenny
I love black eyed peas and moves like jaeger. These do look awesome. I am thinking they would be good for strength training too I always get caught while lifting in the darn cord. Also I would use them while folding laundry.
Tiana
I love running to all types of music and my fav. Song over the last year has been “Kings Of Leons’, Someone Like You.” It reminds me of when I met my husband.. we danced to it at our wedding.
alise
I also run with my phone and would love to not have to worry about the dang cord that always gets in the way.I have to admit that right now I’ve been running to the Backstreet Boys Pandora station!
Natalie
After seeing Needtobreathe in concert, I can’t get enough of them on my runs!!
Jenna
These look so cool! II have a nice big playlist I listen to on shuffle while running, and “Cosmic Love” by Florence and the Machine always seems to come on right when I need a push. I love it!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Laika
Oh man. I seriously hate cardio, but I think these, paired with the Songza “90s Jock Jams” radio station (http://songza.com/listen/y-all-ready-for-this-90s-jock-jams-songza/) would get me into the gym for cardio way more often!
Carolyn D.
My current music obsession is Imagine Dragons. They are a great pump up band that gets me jazzed for my runs. Either them or Fun. is also an awesome running band
Leetra
90s pop…boy bands, spice girls even that Barbie Girl song… sooooo embarrassing :)
hensley
electro! its so high energy
sarah
I’m never sure in-ear headphones will fit in my small girl-ears, but I also hate how out-of-ear headphones interfere with hats and headbands, and pictures, and, earmuffs, and hairstyles…..etc, ad nauseam, so I’d love to try these. I can’t REALLY run without music.
Jen
I would love to win these!!!!i hate the headphone chords. I listen to all types but I <3 some good techno and dance type songs like Flo Rida club can't handle me, Kesha and lady gaga. My favorite song to run to right now is Young The Giant, My Body. Love it! Treadmill workouts are so much easier with music
Maria
I like to run to Hannah Montana. Embarassing, yes, but does her music pump me up? YES!
Jasmine A.
well I definitely NEED these ear buds because I can’t even keep track of how many times I have accidentally pulled my earbuds out of my ears while running, pull on the CORD and the whole phone collapsing on the treadmill…then onto the ground..oops.., and have to keep my arm a certain way that the cord isn’t overstretched..first world problems.
Bree Roe
I love to listen to hip hop on my runs! I need these because I am always pulling my headphones off while running on the treadmill or hitting the cord and my ipod goes flying off the end of the treadmill.
Kristi
I’m very new to running, but I listen to the Aaron Lewis station on Pandora for all my runs. I love, love, love his voice.. and his songs even though they are slow sometimes keeps me going.
Nicole
I love anything poppy with a beat! Lately it has been the new Britney single!
Cindi B
I love listening to mixes by RockMyRun.com! They are fun and fast-paced and make me smile!

I am definitely a Linkin Park fan when running!
Stacey @ Stacey Runs and Eats
And I just tweeted about the giveaway :)
Laura
I think my ultimate favourite song to run to is “I’m not over” by Carolina Liar, it’s at the end of “What Happens in Vegas” with Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, and whenever it comes on I pretend I’m running to all the light houses too (I may not be by the sea exactly but shhh!) and my speed usually increase quite a bit when I check my stats at the end of my run!
Laura
p.s. I just tweeted too!
vicky
Indie or pop – Tongue Tied by Grouplove is a great song!
Jennifer Christiansen
I actually run to everything and anything–opera, Neil Diamond, Gwen Stephani, AC/DC, . I can’t commit to just one genre. If those Bluebuds don’t fall out, I need them. Unfortunately the only tiny thing on my body is my ear holes.

Melanie Russso
Favorite song to run to is anything by Girl Talk or Rhianna! Bluebuds look awesome!
Amy
I probably need to win these since I’m the only person who still wears over the head headphones-seriously, I bought all of the ones they had at Target-which was the only place they still had them-welcome to the early 90s-if only I still had my Discman…
Melissa
I run to audiobooks :)
Caitlin
I need to win these headphones because in my current headphones my right ear hasn’t been working for about 3 weeks…I’ve been running with music in one ear and traffic in the other!
Yolande
I love running to Melissa ethbridge’s “I run for life” amazing song and it gets me going when I need the extra boost when I’m tired.

I run to the “today’s hits” in pandora or a random assortment of songs from a playlist I put together…Britney, JB, Rihanna, Real McCoy, Gavin Degraw, etc.
Would LOVE to win these since my hands are always getting tangled in the cord or the headphones fall out of my ears..breaks my rhythm!
Chastity
My favorite song to run to is Look at Me Now by Chris Brown. I normally am just a slow jog girl, but when Busta Rhymes rap part comes on my legs move faster on their own I swear, lol.
Keri
I listen to listen to the alternative endurance training channel on Pandora when I run. I would love to win this! Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite music to run to changes a lot. Currently it’s the 90s pop station on Pandora. At least 1 song that plays cracks me up when I’m running. Brings back so many good memories!
Lauren
Shipping up to Boston by the Dropkick Murphy’s !
Gina
I love running to Shania Twain songs and I am really hard on the headphones with cords… They are always getting caught on, in things. The last pair got run over by my jogging stroller…….
Nikki
Anything Pop. I am not picky.
jan
I always listen to podcasts while I run; does that count?
Rob Johnston
Thievery Corporation radio on pandora.

Love listening to Hillsong when I run. The pic of Brooke is absolutely adorable!!
Jamie H
I’m a pandora runner…with the – gasp – Kesha station! It has a fun beat! Haha
Sophie
I’m ashamed to say, but my kids do all the music downloading, then I just make a playlist from whatever they’ve downloaded. So currently I am running to Taylor Swift, Kesha, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, and Mumford and Sons.
katie @ fromicecreamtomarathon
I love to run to Group One Crew, Dc Talk, Lecrae…upbeat Christian music that keeps me going!

My husband always makes mixed cds for me of his favourite music and I love to run to that because I know he picked out each song very carefully! It always makes me feel so loved! :)
Nicole J
I loev Britney and Beyonce when I run- anything uptempo!
Abby J
My favorite type of music to listen to when working out is rock or metal, once in a while I will do some alt-country if I’m feeling mellow. When I’m running, Atreyu and Lamb of God usually do the trick for sprints and Lucero is great for long distance.
Sarah
I love listening to Girl Talk when I run or Deadmau5 or Avicii or Calvin Harris… I think I have a thing for DJs. Give me a hot beat and I can usually get my into my stride pretty easily.
Emily
Nerd alert – sometimes I run to the NPR news station! LOL. I like the blankness?!
Tracey
I usually listen to rap or rock when I run…but one of my all time favorite songs to run to is “Eye Of The Tiger!”
Rachel
I run to Nicki Minaj radio on Pandora or The Cataracs. The upbeat music always gets me going!
Faith W
I would love to win these! Whenever I run with my current headphones, the cord is so annoying! I usually waste 10 minutes before each run trying to find clever ways to tuck it in.
Brooklyn
I love running to Britney. My finish line song is Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. I am not embaressed by my love for teenie-bopper music. I’m twelve at heart. :)
Melissa
I would love to win these headphones! I desperately need a pair of headphones that won’t fall out of my ears when I run. Plus, I’d share with my husband so when he plays video games with his friend and talks on the phone the whole time he can use these so I don’t have to hear them yelling :)
Brooklyn
