      Jaybird Vista 2 Earbuds Review

      The Jaybird Vista wireless headphones were released in 2019 and we reviewed them as part of our Best Wireless Headphones of 2019 article. This past June Jaybird released an updated version of the Vista and logically named them the Vista 2. 

      The Jaybird Vista 2 is not a complete replacement for the Vista, rather it’s a supplemental product that is targeted towards users who like to listen to music while keeping active. A number of improvements to the Vista 1 allow the Vista 2 headphones to be used in a variety of conditions and as Jaybird claims they are “earthproof,” meaning that they are waterproof, sweatproof, drop-proof, and crushproof. 

      Jaybird Vista 2

      One of the main features that have been added to the Vista 2 is SurroundSense which allows users to still hear noises out on the trail or the road. Say you are out on a trail run and you still want to stay alert for other trail users or wildlife, simply turn SurroundSense on and you’ll be able to listen to music but still have the ability to hear noises around you. If you are indoors and don’t need to hear anything around you, double-tap to ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), which has been increased from the Vista 1, and all background noise will be eliminated which is useful if you are at the gym or working in a noisy office space. 

      In addition to SurroundSense and increased ANC, an increase in dust and water protection from IPX7 top IP68 means that the Vista 2 buds are virtually indestructible. A rain shower or dust storm won’t hurt the buds making them an ideal companion for those that recreate in a variety of weather conditions who don’t want to be let down by buds that will fail at the first sight of water or fine debris. As well, for those times you need to take a call while outdoors the added WindDefense fabric over the mics will ensure that wind or other noises won’t interfere while speaking. 

      Overall, the Jaybird Vista 2 improves upon an already great Jaybird Vista 1 and will appeal to users who love to listen to music, podcasts, or the news, etc. while on the go. With 4 sets of tips included with the buds a wide range of ear sizes and shapes can be accommodated which means the buds will stay in place no matter the activity. In fact, the Vista 2 buds fit so well you would be hard-pressed to get them to budge which is important when running or cycling.
