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!!

I love to run to any kind of fast, upbeat, dance type of music. It gets me going and keeps me motivated to push through a hard workout. Anything that is slower makes me slow down and ease up on my workout.
Ashley
My favorite song to run to is MJ Man in the mirror because if you wanna make the world a better place you gotta look at yourself and make that, change!
I have a pretty different style when it comes to music that pumps me up to run. Carrie Underwood before he cheats (no I’ve never been cheated on, I just love her!), Whitney Houston I wanna dance with somebody toward the end of a run because it helps me pick up the pace, and I love R.Kelly World’s Greatest. Just because I feel like I’m running on CLOUDS!
Sarah
I love peppy music to run and exercise to! My favorite song would probably be Kelly Clarkson’s- What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
Love your blog…I read it daily!
Ashley
I tweeted and FBed this link!
Tessa
I love running to Girl Talk! The mash-ups keep my ADD brain entertained without me having to constantly look for a new song. The best!
Marissa
My all time FAVORITE album to listen to while running is Jimmy Eat World Futures. I will NEVER get sick of it! When I’m lifting or at the gym I like to listen to more pop/hip hop music. It gets me so pumped!
Kelly
Hi i am new to your blog!! I could really use new headphones i lost mine getting out of my car to run the other day in the snow:( When i run i usually listen to the pink station, dynamite radio, pop fitness and sometime lumineers radio on pandora.. After reading your blog i feel like i could definitly push myself to run faster. thanks
Rachel
I always work out to top40 hits on Iheartradio. I never listen to this music otherwise and it often cracks me up!
Erin
I love to run to PINK!! My goal this year is to do a couple 1/2’s. I read your blog all the time! LOVE it.
Jade O.
I’m a big fan of Fergi and The Black Eyed Peas, Will I Am…..
Although right now I have Kelly Clarkson as my closer, go to song, “what doesn”t kill you makes you stronger”
These earbuds sound awesome…much better than having to tuck the cord down my sports bra so I don’t get the cord caught in my arms while running!

I like running to my whole MP3 player on shuffle.. I’m often surprised by what comes on and it gives me an idea of what I really want to listen to that day,
Jenn @BeYOUatBeMe
I love running to Linkin Park!
Melissa B
These headphones would make my new life in the running world easier. I am learning to like/love to run! My music of choice is new pop music that my kids listen to. I need to stay current and running gives me time to hear what they are listening to. Thanks!!
Denise Harris
I generally run to the Pandora hip hop workout station to keep me pumped up. I get an extra zip in my step when ‘Titanium’ by David Guetta comes on – that is my favorite song to run to.
Arrienne
I hate cords when I’m running. These look amazing! I love running with a Pandora station like the Dance Cardio. It is always fun to be surprised what song is next!
Lisa Thompson
I had no idea they made such a gem! I have such a problem with my hand getting tangled and either ripping the headphones out of my ears or my phone crashing onto the tredmill and sailing across the room! Oh and Bombs Over Bagdad has just the right cadence for me to really get into stride:)
alyssa
i listen to podcasts…….. or super poppy music. right now lots of taylor swift’s new album
Tamara
My latest favorite song to run to is On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons.
Sandy W.
My favorite type of music…EVERYTHING…as long as it has a good beat. AC/DC, Beastie Boys, Eve6, Butch Walker, Blue October, 30 Seconds to Mars, Tim McGraw. I’m all over the place. I am totally digging the thought of zero cords to situate. One of my favorite songs is from the Beastie Boys – Paul Revere.
Nikki @ run+breathe+be
I am a clumsy FOOL. I can’t even begin to explain how many near catastrophes I’ve had thanks to the headphone wires! I stopped using them altogether and just let my music come out through the iPhone speaker while running outside.
I listen to certain types of music based on mood and/or workout. It ranges from dubstep, latin dance, indie/alternative, hip hop, and even string quartet/orchestra versions of modern songs (try it!).
Kristin @ Little Corbin Hill
I’ve been listening to Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger! Love the fast pace. Get’s me going =)
Megan
Oh I need new running earbuds! I’m about to start training for my first half marathon after having my little boy in December. :) I love to listen to lots of music while running. Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas got me through the wall of my marathon so that might be my go to music when I need some pep.

My running playlist contains everything from current pop music, classic britney, 90’s rock, 80’s hair bands, etc. I love listening to music on my runs, and my headphones always fall out and I get tangled in the cord, so I NEED these!

Hi Janae!
I love your blog:) One of my favorite songs to run to is Bulletproof by La Roux! It has a great beat and makes me feel strong. Have a great Thursday!
Meg
Maja @ thecakebaby.blogspot.com
I like to run to Kings of Leon, their music is just perfect for runs. I always use my ipod, but somehow I often unplug one headphone out of my ear. I tend to make some weird gestures with my hands while running so these headphones would be perfect :)
Jodi DeRuby
I listen to a podcast. Thanks!
Courtney
Favorite type of music to run to: cheesy pop! :)
Heidi
I love hip hop when I’m running. Or classic rock… I have a theory that if I want to move (or dance!) when I hear the music, it makes good running music. I’ve been known to take a dance break in the middle of a run! :D
Jodi DeRuby

Heather L.
Hello Janae! I really like to run to some old school music like Rick James’ “Super Freak”, ACDC, The GoGos, (stuff I used to roller skate to as a teenager!) and some “Seven Nation Army” and more.
Ellie
I like to run to all sorts of music, but I love rap as the rhythm helps my pacing. But my current favourite is “To Build a Home” by Cinematic Orchestra – not rap but great for zoning out and running to!
Ellie
I would like to win the wireless headphones to help me run/dance without stupid wires getting in the way! I have one set of apple headphones which keep falling out of my head!
Ellie
Just tweeted this giveaway! Fingers crossed for my entry…. Thanks!
Marissa@city farm girl
Too many favorite running songs to list! I always enjoy some rihanna and coldplay, but my new favorite is Taylor Swift’s “I knew you were trouble.” I’m not usually a Taylor Swift fan, but this song gets me moving on my runs.
Laura
I would love to win these for my fiance! I don’t really listen to music while running anymore but he uses his phone while running and lifting so I think these would work great for him!
Susan Berry
I love to run to audio books.
amy a
Thanks for the review and giveaway girl…I can not stand running with all those cords flying around so I just gave up and run without music. But, I would love to win these and listen to some girl power music :)
Angela A
Usually something with a good beat. But if I had a really stressful day – spa music. Crazy I know – but it helps me de-stress my day. My favorite song to run to is “Best of You” by Foo Fighters! Always pumps me up :)
Sara B
Currently on treadmill playlist – Jay-ZR “99 Problems,” Fun. “Some Nights,” Rihanna “Don’t Stop the Music.”
Kate @ Chicken Nugget Girl
I always listen to Tswift when I run! :)
Amy
I probably listen the the absolute WORST music when I run. Tom Waits and Ryan Adams are probably not helping my cadence, but I can’t help it. I love music and I can’t force myself to listen to Nicki Minaj. SNOB. ;-)
Michelle
They make so much sense! I drop my shuffle all the time!
Emily
I like to run to podcasts and audiobooks!
Jessica Morales
I listen to a lot of upbeat, somewhat fast paced music wen I run. I want something that I can kind of dance to as well. I have a lot of Lecrae and Katy Perry on my running play lists.
Jessica Morales
I also just posted this on Twitter! Hope I win :)
KariLynne10
My favourite music to run to is caliente/reggaeton specificially Daddy Yankee. I have no idea why, I don’t listen to it any other time but when I workout but I can’t get enough. Maybe because it reminds me of the Caribbean and that puts me in a happy place!
Teri
I’m a country girl!! Give me fast beat country and I’m happy.
Amanda
These look amazing! I love to run to hip-hop. Kanye and Jay-Z are the best!!
Celeste
I almost hate to admit it, but some of my favorite running songs are still the old “Jock Jams” songs. Ha!
Amanda
I tweeted!
Katie
These would be perfect for my cold outdoor runs here in Indiana! I’m still getting used to these artic temps!! My favorite type of music to listen to while running is techno/house music because the beat is fast..so I try to run to the beat of the music and keep moving!
Crystal Ocegueda
My favorite music to run to is pop. I am a die hard country music fan but country just doesn’t get my juices flowing! The only time I listen to pop music is when I run and it’s nice because I get to hear all the new songs. My favorite song to run to lately has been Lady Gaga’s You and I. The beat is awesome and it makes me feel like a champ!
Christie
I have 500 of my favorite songs on shuffle that I update monthly.. right now consists mainly of Eminem, Nonpoint, A Day to Remember, Fall out Boys , and Paniac @ the disco!
Callie B.
Hi Janae!
I absolutely adore your blog!:) One of my favorite songs to run to is Macklemore, Ryan Lewis & Wanz – Thrift Shop! Just love the beat! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!

My favorite running music is either the “Country Fitness” Pandora station or my Kelly Clarkson Pandora station – I jam out to either :)

My headphones keep getting knocked out of my ear so I started running with out them (now everyone can hear it as i run). I listen to Tenth Avenue North and FUN. Been saving up for some Jay Birds.
Roberta Garro
I always run with ska music, it’s the best for me since I don’t like electronic music, so I need music to keep me going and ska does the trick :)
I live outside the US, can I still enter the giveaway? please please!!
Roberta Garro

Megan
Gotta get that angry music crankin!! I love some good rap jamz. Anything by Nelly makes the treadmill miles fly by.
Paul
Great product and concept … My daughter already wants a pair to be able to workout freely !!!
Christa
I love listening to Dave Matthews when I work out. His music is mostly upbeat and keeps me moving. I need a set of wireless bluetooth headphones like these. My dog chewed up my last set of headphones. I have a baby on the way and I’d love to be able to wear these without cords dangling. PLEASEPLEASEPLEEEEASEEEE Pick me!!!
JPUG
My jaybirds inspired me to start running! After finding these headphones I had no more excuses, like cords and poor quality accessories, and finally began a good exercise regimen. Usually begins with some Motley Crue, Limp Bizkit, Ice Cube, Marilyn Manson, 2Pac and a few heart pumping jams by Smashing Pumpkins. I do mellow out a bit with a little Foo Fighters, Counting Crows, Grateful Dead, maybe some Mumford or Wu_tang for the cool down. Inside or out, I use my jaybirds all the time and they’re pretty amazing. I will say, they are the best headphones I have ever owned. Awesome!
Erin
I love to listen to worship music while I run! The beauty of creation and great worship music is the best
Catherine
It really depends on my mood and type of run. I prefer indie music for longer and at a slower pace runs, and top40-electro-dance-dubstep for shorter runs or intervalls. My two favorite songs for an energy boost are On the floor (J.Lo) and Levels (Avicii).
I would loveee those headphones !! :)
Mannix Castro
Favorite music to run to is techno, Rock and Metal!
Yura

Donna Summer – Hot Stuff

Breaking Benjamin
Christina
I like a variety of music, anything that really motivates me to get moving! Right now I am into anything by the Script and Too Close by Alex Clare. I NEED to win these! Getting caught up in earbud cords is one of my biggest pet peeves and has literally made me cry in frustration. Plus, after paying $1,600 in tuition and books for this semester I really can’t afford to shell out the money for these right now.
Brooke is the best assistant model I have ever seen.
Betsy
I listen to happy peppy music when I run. Things like kesha and rhianna
Katelyn
I love to run to macklemore ang girl talk! Love those beats…distracts me from my breathing:)
Jeremy
I like to listen to dubstep while running and working out. Has a nice beat to help keep consistent pace.
kristina
I am loving any david guetta remix.
George S
Rock!
Luis
I love running to Survivor, with musics like Eye Of The Tiger, it’s a great motivation ;)
Kim
One of my favorite running songs is “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera. It always makes me feel like kicking butt and taking names.
Gina
I enjoy running to mixes by RockMyRun.com and I choose manly hip hop, pop and dance mixes. My current favorite song to run to is “For the Rest of My Life” by Ludecris…it really pulls me through those difficult moments during my long runs.
I would love to win these buds because they would be a great asset for my marathon training. Music always pushes me to go further and do more then I thought I could.
Katja
I love to run to Pink. It really pumps me up.
What I don’t like is getting tangled up in the earbud wires. Sometimes I am not very coordinated. Wireless earbuds would be the way to go.
Shawn
You can always catch me listening to Swedish House Mafia while I’m working out.
Lindsay @ Typically Late

Gina

Bri
anything BRITNEY is my favorite!
Christine
I listen to fast, upbeat, bass-thumping music while I run. But my favorites are old school, Britney and Linkin Park songs (can’t pick just one). Visions of Britney, pre-bald and umbrella phase, motivate me to push harder. And Linkin Park’s angst makes me feel like I’m being yelled at, so I run harder. A little masochistic? Perhaps, but it works!
I’d LOOOOVE to win these Bluebuds! I’ve been eyeing them for a long while now. ;)
Christine
I just tweeted a link to your giveaway. AND I followed you! =] @pinkserendipity
Rene Arguello
I love running to AC/DC songs especially “shoot to thrill.” Those songs just give me the extra motivation and drive. I own a pair of Jaybird Sprint Freedoms and those are awesome! I get looks at the gym from people wondering what those are on my ears. Im positive that the Jaybird BluebloodX’s are out of this world!!!!I would love to proudly show off any product by Jaybird!
Robert
this might sound very cliché but its the theme song to Rocky – Eye of the Tiger. How does that song NOT pump someone up? I hate running with wires that always seem to get tangled or ripped off because my arm was flying through. Hoping for a win.

When its a relaxing run, I listen to 90’s hip hop, but when I need the extra umph! I listen to some fast paced rock :)
Diane
Fav song depends on the day, but today it was “call me maybe”
Sad but true.
Beth
My favorite running music for hte week is anything by the Killers… but I have a new favorite basically every week, my playlists are always changing! Anything from country to pop to rock, as long as it has a good beat :)
These headphones would be great for me because i always seem to get tangled up in my cord while running, I wouldn’t mind getting rid of that cord!
Arica
I have lots of favorites but my all time favorite running song is “Shipping Off to Boston” by the Drop Kick Murphys.
candice
My favorite song to run to right now is Scream and Shout by Will.I.Am. I would love some cordless earbuds to listen to my music on my runs.
Nicole
I hate cords. So embarrassing watching your ipod fly across the floor bacuse you got caught up in the cord. Fav work out music: Anything upbeet. Remixes of top 40 for sure. Fav Song: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

I would love some jaybirds Bluetooth headphones because of the sweet proof :-)
Laura M
I would love to win the headphones because headphone wires drive me crazy, so I never run with music. Very sad for a person that loves music! I love to run to “Running on Empty” by Jackson Browne.
Lindsey
I love running to some old school Dr. Dre! Definitely gets me motivated to get out there and GO! Sweet giveaway…
jason
my favorite type of music to listen to is house/trance since it doesn’t have many lyrics. This way I can focus on the running.
Claudia
Hi! I’m a first time commentator (is that how you say it?) but I started following you ( or stalking :P) my senior year, I graduated ’11. First of all I love running, but I absolutely can not run without listening to my husband Michael Buble. Yes, he’s my husband ;) My favorite song to run to is Sway by Mr. Buble!!
I would love to win these headphones because it would be so much better to use than wrapping you headphones around your ear so that way you can run without having them fall off all the time. Sorry for the long entry :P
Claudia
Oh yeah, I also facebooked about this giveaway!! :D
Wesley Morris
My favorite song to run to is “No one gets Left Behind” by Five Finger Death Punch….just pumps me up so much and drives me to keep pushing myself
Morgan W
I would give these to my husband for his birthday (and then make him share them with me)!
Tarek A
I love Coldplay and for hills Rage Against the Machine :)
Just twitted this bad boy out!
Wanda Moncrief
I love running to the Footloose soundtrack from the original movie – great songs! Also when I’m thinking about problems while I”m running I love Sela’s soundtracks for spiritual reflective running.
Tori
My favorite type of music to listen to when I run is Christian worship music! I know this sounds funny because it doesn’t necessarily have an amazing heart pounding beat or something- but I have two kiddos and when I run- I love to consider it quiet time for me – and its awesome to spend that hour with God listening to worship songs- eithe r on the treadmill or outside around the amazing views! (I live in Colorado!)
Becky
I love running to linkin park as welll! i saw them in concert last august and they were great! i’m running a half marathon in april and would love these as company :))))
Damien Braniff
Song: Motorcycle (As the Rush Comes)
Want them because I just want to Run……. no strings attached lol
Juli D.
The only headphones I can currently wear are some old school over the top of my head with a plastic band headphones. Like, the headphones that came with a Walkman in 1987. Ear buds ALWAYS fall out, even if I’m just sitting using them – forget running. I NEED these Bluebuds – different sizes??? AMAZING.
Kassie
I listen to whatever music I have on my iTunes…. which, given the frequency that I actually buy new music, means that I listen to old music!
Katrina
I would love these babies because my current ones fall out all the time and hurt my ears after an hour of wearing them, not to mention I would have a hard time affording them on my own lol they sound great!
Wilfredo Lopez
FOO FIGHTERS and EMINEM on shuffle. Gets me super hype and super sweaty and super fit.
Jonathan
I live how te life proof case protects from anything, but when I want to listen to music the headphone adapters keep breaking and I hate buying new ones but with the new wireless headphones I woul not need to use the adapter and plus I do not have anywhere near the money to buy them I found my lifeproof on eBay
Lindsey Tieben
I love these because I currently don’t listen to any music b/c I can’t stand the cords or how the normal earbuds fall out of my ears and drive me CRAZY! I need to add music for more motivation!
Nicole
I like listening to house music – awesome beats keep me going!
Betsy
I shared this on facebook
Ari
My favorite song is till i collapse by Eminem because it is inspirational because it reminds me to not give up. I usually play this song around 2.7 miles or in the middle of the run to get the adrenalin going. I would love these jaybirds because my current ear buds let the wind in and i do not get to enjoy the music.
Ari
I shared the link on facebook with my friends
Jill
I stream Pandora on my iPhone when I run. My current fave station is called Country Fitness. What is that you say?! Ha, mostly new upbeat pop like country songs that are popular on the radio right now (Carrie underwood, T Swift, Brad Paisley, etc)
Sarah
Bluebuds X sounds fantastic!
Why? Because I love dance music and I love running, and awesome gear like this would make both of these things even better!
Sarah N
I always have trouble with headphones, I have never found any that fit and stay in when working out. Maybe the Bluebirds would work!
Keri
My favorite type of music to run to rock, like Breaking Benjamin. It’s a faster tempo, so it gets me pumped up!
Melissa
My new favorite running song is Ke$ha’s “C’mon”! I would love these headphones, just today mine fell out at least 20 times during my run.
Erin Tate
I have a pair of Jaybird Freedom headphones and I love them; however, they have stopped working for some reason and I refuse to go back to headphones with wires!! I am in the market to replace these or maybe upgrade :)
My current favorite song to run to is the Black Eyed Peas “Let’s Get It Started.”
Isabel
My favorite music to listen to while running is Girl Talk!
