Jaybird launches their fifth generation of wireless sports buds, the Freedom

Jaybird releases their fifth generation of the Freedom ear buds, and the latest to hit the market is the Jaybird Freedom Wireless Bluetooth Buds. The device is sweat-proof, and it has its own app for customizing audio profiles and settings.

The new Freedom is their smallest secure-fit buds to date, and it uses a metallic taper-down design that reduces the speaker diameter by 20 percent. The ear buds come with two sets of tips – one for sweat-proofing, and the other for secure sports fit with the help of memory foam. A listener can use the included silicone wings for an even better grip around the ear canal.

The device uses A2DP Bluetooth to wirelessly connect to smartphones, and it’s cross-compatible with a wide range of phones. This means that the same Jaybird Freedom works with both iOS and Android. For controls, it uses a three-button controller lined along the audio cable. The controls also pack a microphone, which makes the wireless Bluetooth ear buds capable of taking calls.

It boasts a battery life of four hours, and it’s extended by another four with a USB charging clip that doubles as a portable charger for the Jaybird Freedom.

Here are some of the Jaybird Freedom’s audio specifications:

  • Drivers: 6mm
  • Sensitivity: 96 +- 3 ohms
  • Impedance: 16 ohms
  • Codec: AAC, SBC, Modified SBC
  • Format: 16-bit Stereo
  • Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.1 with Hands-free, Headset, A2DP, AVCRP, SPP
  • Playtime: 4 hours (8 hours with charging clip)
  • Charging time: 2.5 hours
  • Weight: 13.8g

The Jaybird Freedom Wireless will be available starting from 16th September 2016, at a price of S$259. They come in four colors: Gold, Carbon (black), Blaze (red), and Ocean (blue).

It’s no surprise to us that the in-ear headphones’ launch coincides with the availability of a particular smartphone with no 3.5mm audio jack on the same day itself.
