I had a major beef with Jaybird X3, which I have 3 pairs of - they just don't last. Jaybird X3 are advertised as 8 hours, mine only last 2 hours or less after less than two years of use. Granted all headphone batteries lose charge after a while, having 25% just doesn't sound right.

But I love the sound of Jaybird X3s and getting a 4th pair didn't make any sense. So I started looking for alternatives and was going to buy an updated X4, until reading reviews. Turns out they are basically an updated X3 with waterproofing and slight design changes. Same battery life, same Bluetooth 4.1 etc.

That is when I got interested in the Jaybird Tarah Pro. The 14 hour battery life, waterproofing and Bluetooth 5.0 is what sold me. But after using them for 2 months I found even more reasons why I liked them over X3:

1. Less signal drop off. Rubber antennae cord on X3 and sweat just don't mix. Tarah Pro have a fabric like cord that doesn't stick to the neck and don't have signal drop offs.
2. Magnetic driver heads are actually very useful to hang headphones around the neck.
3. Charging clip finally doesn't suck. I could insert it in either direction and it magnetically snaps in place.

Here is my full review after using Jaybird Tarah Pro for 2 months:

If you have Jaybird X4 I'd love to hear what you think of them compared to X3 and Tarah Pros!
