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!!

Kathryn
I like to run to fast/upbeat music. I cannot run to anything slow. I love the giveaway!
Rachel
Favorite type of music to run to is 80s or top 40… it has to have a great upbeat tempo or I get bored and want to fall asleep :)
I want to win these, because I too dislike ear-bud cords! when I’m running, if I let them hang down, I always end up swinging my arms and pulling them out of my ears! Wireless would be so great :)
Alicia
I enjoy working out to anything that has energy! Some music just gets your body moving and that’s what I want when I’m working out. I want to win these because I’m making it my mission to get back in shape this year and that means I’m working out! I’ve been eyeing wireless headphones and these would be perfect!

My favorite song to run to is Runnin Down A Dream. Love these earphones! I hope I win!

I like a mix of cheesy pop songs and classic rock when I sweat. These would be great because I am adjusting my current earbuds every 30 seconds because they keep falling out.
Katie
I love running to Rhianna!!
Katie

Shannah
I listen to anything while I run! Worship, country, rap, etc…anything to block out honking cars and the sound of my own panting!

Okay, Janae, I just shared the contest on my website, too. I’ll share my music again: really bad 80’s and 90’s dance music – the kind of stuff I used to do dances to in cheerleading.
Adrian
I love listening to Ke$ha!

I always run to Britney! She’s got amazing beats and it just makes me run faster! The Britney/Usher mix-up of “Toxic/Yeah” is one of my favorites!

I would love to win these to listen to podcasts while I run!

Grecia
Holy Ground by Taylor Swift

Emily D.
I love listening to pop and hop hop music while I run. Right now, my favorite is anything Lady Gaga! I would LOVE to win these because I am such a spaz and usually get my headphone cords rapped around the treadmill, my arms, or all of the above.
Nicole MacDougall

Jen
Facebook posted! HRG is my favorite blog ever! I need these blue buds :))
Chelsie S
My favourite song to run to is Call Me Maybe .. it is my (not so secret) guilty pleasure. I tried to deny my love for this song for soooooo long. But I’ve finally come out of hiding to proclaim that when CMM comes on, my split will immediately drop by at least 10sec for the half mile that it takes to play. ;)
Suzie
anything foo fighters!
Beth
Ridin’ Dirty by Chamillionaire (the clean version of course!) and Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson. Talk about extremes!
I would love to win the ear buds because I am a music-obsessed runner who runs on the road with only one ear bud in and I spend way too much energy on the placement of the wires and the ear bud I’m not wearing.
Megan
I love listening to the Spice Girl channel on Pandora. These would be great to train for my second half marathon.
Jill

Jenny
I’ve been running to AC/DC lately when I run.
Sarah
I would love to win these because I am constantly getting my earbud cord tangled, and these look like the perfect solution!
Amanda L
I ALWAYS pull my headphones out of my ear and send my Iphone crashing to it’s death! And I’m so sick of shoving little ear buds back in to my ears when they fall out. These would be magical!!
90s pop while working out all the way!
Tara
I love to work out to country music as crazy as it sounds. For some reason it gets me moving! I would LOVE wireless ear buds, because I am the person who gets annoyed if the headphone wires aren’t just so while I work out that I spend 20 minutes fixing them while running and usually trip over my feet.
Alicia Wynn
My favorite song to run to is “Jump” by Loverboy! I would love to win these headphones as I am like you, constantly getting tangled in my cord! I love running in winter because I can wear long sleeves and run the cord down the inside of my sleeve, but summer doesn’t work that way! Thanks!
P.S. Brooke is adorable!
Lindsay
My fav music to work out to is hip hop and I’d love to win these so I don’t drive my husband bonkers having the TV show or music up so loud while I run! ;)
Caroline
My fave song to run to right now is “Bounce” by Calvin Harris–it really does give me a little pep in my step! These headphones are amazing.
Caroline
I love running to Daddy Yankee! His music is upbeat and gets me pumped up!
Lindsey
I love Britney too! Mumford and sons’ new record is also a great one! I’d love to try these for running too!!
Sara

I love running to some crazy pop girl music: current favorites – party in the usa by miley cirus and trouble by t.swift.
I would love these headphones to help me on my comeback from physical therapy for my knee
iRun4Dessert

I still love the song Call Me Maybe!
Camille
I would LOVE to win these headphones because mine ALWAYS fall out of my ears when I run!
Pam
Hard rock for me! Songs like Click click boom by Saliva always give me the energy and the attitude to finish strong.
Shannon
It’s embarrasing, but I love to run to Britney!!!
Camille
Just tweeted!!!
Erika
I really like listening to Girl Talk or Milkman. Both are DJs that play up to date music but mash them together and switch it up all the time. I have music ADD so switching songs after 10 seconds works perfectly!!! These headphones look super sick too!!
Erin
I listen to a lot of 80’s music.
Allison
I tweeted! I could really use new headphones that don’t rip out every 5 minutes while running or doing planks.
Erika
Just tweeted too!!
Amy
I always get my hand tangled in the cord and yank my buds out of my ears and then I have to grab them and untangle them as I run. Would LOVE to have these!
Betsy
I posted to Facebook too!
Taylor T
I love listening to KLove when I run!!
Kimi B
I love to run to anything fast-paced from Swedish House Mafia to Britney to Taking Back Sunday. Just no country… haha.
Mandi
I actually like to run to terrible rap music. The faster I run the faster I can turn the crap music off.
Melissa @mypeachlife
Oh I love reading all of the song comments. I need need music to run to so this is great. My favorite song is “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera (I know! But I also love Brittney).
I actually just started listening to music and books on tape while I run and by recently I mean in the past 2 weeks. It is such a strange thing for me. I usually run with someone and talk the whole time or I just run and listen to the sounds around me.
lizK
I listen to serious girl power music, like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson. They get my booty moving!!
Mandi
Sent a tweet!
Olivia
my favorite running music is upbeat and fast-paced, which is the opposite from music i like when i’m not running!

Nicole
