Granted, for a $60 price hike, they really don’t have an excuse not to be. But Jaybird hit the mark with the Vista 2’s ANC capabilities.\nWhat we don’t like\nConnection troubles\nCredit:\n              Reviewed\/Nick Woodard\nWe had much more trouble than expected connecting our first pair of Vista 2 buds.\nIt took two days of sporadic attempts and several hard resets before I could get the Vista 2 to initially connect to either my Android phone or my partner’s iPhone. With colleagues, multiple Amazon reviews and other past Jaybird earbud owners reporting similar connection squabbles, though, I had to dig a little deeper. Jaybird overnighted another pair to review, and this time, the new Vista 2 seamlessly connected to my phone.\nJaybird told me that it isn’t aware of any widespread connection issues with the Vista 2, but it's clear that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. It may be a case of an assorted batch of bad buds, and the majority of Vista 2 pairs could connect just fine. Even if that is true, it's still an unfortunate issue plaguing an otherwise excellent set of earbuds.\nJaybird did disclose that there have been confirmed issues (and a\nreported fix\n) with downloading the company’s app through a pop-up during setup with the earbuds, so the Vista 2 certainly aren’t hiccup-free.\nSpotty call quality\nCredit:\n              Reviewed\/Nick Woodard\nCall quality was hit and miss for most of the testing period.\nJaybird touts what it calls “WindDefense fabric technology,” which is supposed to allow the Vista 2 to carry out phone calls regardless of the environment they’re dealing with. While the Vista 2 did perform well at certain points with calls (mostly in quieter areas like my living room or the office), it had its share of struggles while I was taking the dogs for a walk on a windy morning or cycling in the bike lane alongside a collection of morning commuters. Though, I wouldn’t expect most earbuds to excel while riding a bike, don't invest in the Vista 2 with expectations of them performing flawlessly while cycling through town or out on the trails.\nThere are plenty of factors that could play into these lapses in quality, so I won’t pin it all on the Vista 2. But I did have multiple instances where conversations had to prematurely end because of how compromised my dialogue was.\nShould you buy it?\nMaybe, if you're willing to take a gamble on the connection issues\nThe Vista 2 had me at their killer combination of fit and durability. When you add in a healthy serving of sound quality and active noise cancellation, these become really hard buds to pass up if you’re looking for a fitness-based option. The only potential cause for concern is the potential pairing trouble. While it could just be that I had a defective pair, identical connection issues with the Vista 2 have sprung up online. At this point, we just have to hope that Jaybird manages to address these connection problems, however scattered they may be, in a future firmware update.\nAs for good alternatives, there are cheaper buds that will get the job done, like the new\nEcho Buds\n. And, when looking at more sport-centric earbuds, the Vista 2 do have some compelling competitors. The\nElite Active 75t\ndon’t stack up quite as well in terms of dust and water resistance (they offer a still-respectable IP57 rating), and some folks have had trouble with the 75t’s fit. But they’re still an unmatched value for their price point. And while the\nSony WF-SP800N\noffer middling ANC and aren’t quite as durable on paper, they offer significantly better battery life while hovering around the same price.\nAll that said, the Vista 2 are a great pair of earbuds if you don't experience their inconsistent pairing troubles. Jaybird's latest buds fit great, are built to last, and are the real deal when it comes to ANC.\nMeet the tester\nNick Woodard\nContributor\n@nwoodard25\nNick Woodard is a tech journalist specializing in all things related to home theater and A\/V.

By my testing, the Vista 2 usually tapped out after 5-6 hours of listening with ANC on, depending on how loud I was listening to my weekly dose of *Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend*. That doesn’t approach the likes of [the sporty Sony WF-SP800N’s](https:\/\/www.reviewed.com\/headphones\/content\/sony-wf-sp800n-true-wireless-earbuds-review) 9 hours of playback with ANC (13 without), but it’s still respectable given the Vista 2’s intended primary use case: getting your workout on.\n\nThe Vista 2 have a few handy perks that you won’t find among their specs sheet.

The only potential cause for concern is the potential pairing trouble. While it could just be that I had a defective pair, identical connection issues with the Vista 2 have sprung up online. At this point, we just have to hope that Jaybird manages to address these connection problems, however scattered they may be, in a future firmware update. As for good alternatives, there are cheaper buds that will get the job done, like the new Echo Buds . And, when looking at more sport-centric earbuds, the Vista 2 do have some compelling competitors. The Elite Active 75t don’t stack up quite as well in terms of dust and water resistance (they offer a still-respectable IP57 rating), and some folks have had trouble with the 75t’s fit. But they’re still an unmatched value for their price point. And while the Sony WF-SP800N offer middling ANC and aren’t quite as durable on paper, they offer significantly better battery life while hovering around the same price. All that said, the Vista 2 are a great pair of earbuds if you don't experience their inconsistent pairing troubles.

July 2, 2021 Sitting in their wireless charging case, Jaybird’s new Vista 2 look exactly like the fierce, active-focused true wireless earbuds that the company wants them to be. When they (finally) connected, the Vista 2 were mostly that. Despite a few flaws here and there, poor call quality among them, the Vista 2 possess relatively powerful active noise cancellation and top-notch build quality that could make them an excellent workout companion.

That's not to say you'll have the same issues, but it's something to be aware of before pulling the trigger. Check out our list of the [Best Workout Headphones](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/best-right-now/the-best-headphones-for-the-gym) for more options.* ## About the Jaybird Vista 2 - Price: \$199.99 - Battery life: Up to 8 hours (without ANC), 24 hours total with charging case - Rapid charging: Five-minute charge for 1 hour of playback - Wireless charging: Yes, Qi-compatible case - Voice assistant compatibility: Google Assistant, Siri - Colors: Black, Nimbus Grey, Midnight Blue - Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 - Audio codecs: AAC, SBC - Dust/water resistance: IP68, IP54 wireless charging case - Ear tips: Three sizes of ear/wing tip eargels - Weight: 5.4 grams per bud, 48.2 grams with case - Warranty: One-year limited warranty in North America and Asia Pacific countries, two-year limited warranty in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. While Jaybird officially lists just the one battery life length (8 hours), that’s almost certainly without ANC or the Vista 2’s ambient sound mode turned on. By my testing, the Vista 2 usually tapped out after 5-6 hours of listening with ANC on, depending on how loud I was listening to my weekly dose of Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend. That doesn’t approach the likes of [the sporty Sony WF-SP800N’s](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/sony-wf-sp800n-true-wireless-earbuds-review) 9 hours of playback with ANC (13 without), but it’s still respectable given the Vista 2’s intended primary use case: getting your workout on. The Vista 2 have a few handy perks that you won’t find among their specs sheet. The buds’ accompanying app has a “Find my buds” feature that has proven handy more than once in my time testing them. Beyond that, the buds’ controls are delightfully straightforward, presenting a mix of taps and touches that corresponds to functions like playing/pause, track skip, volume, and sound modes. ## What we like ### A near-perfect build for athletes ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--cfL7g7jB--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_1,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/bf0ce0f19ae54826/JaybirdVista5.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard The water and dust resistance are both impressive even for workout buds. The headline says it all. Jaybird hit the sweet spot between comfort and security with the Vista 2, crafting a pair of buds that feel both at home in your ears and unwilling to leave under even the most strenuous circumstances. As someone who obsessively runs, bikes, and drags himself to the gym, I put the Vista 2 through a wide array of athletic activities. In response, these stylish little buds remained remarkably well-positioned in my ears. That said, durability is the focal point of the Vista 2 build. Jaybird says its new buds have an [IP68 weather resistance rating](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/features/what-do-waterproof-and-water-resistant-really-mean), making them completely dustproof and waterproof. Even the included wireless charging case has an IP54 resistance rating. Ultimately, it’s a level of protection that few wireless earbuds on the market today can match, including our current [favorite running buds](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/best-right-now/the-best-headphones-for-the-gym) the [Jabra Elite Active 75t](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/jabra-elite-active-75t-review). ### A quality, customizable sound signature I wasn’t blown away by the Vista 2’s sound quality out of the box. After playing with the sound profile in the accompanying Jaybird app, though, I quickly changed my tune. The app has multitudes of equalizer presets to audition, from Jaybird’s signature profile, to EQs designated for specific genres, and even sounds cultivated by prominent athletes. The pièce de ré·sis·tance, however, was the Personal EQ option. Maybe it’s just excellent marketing, but after taking a hearing test that prompted me to identify different frequencies, the profile that the app automatically generated sounded like an impressive match for my ears. The app has multitudes of equalizer presets to audition. The bass I was missing from certain Beastie Boys tracks was suddenly present, but not overpowering like it was in the “Bring the Bass” preset. Alternatively, higher frequencies offered the detail I was previously searching for. It took a bit of work, but I was able to unlock audio quality in the Vista 2 that was just right for me. ### Surprisingly stellar active noise cancellation ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--ADsNHuVU--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_1,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/e77e32cba6db4c74/JaybirdVista7.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard Active noise canceling is quite respectable for durable buds at this price. The Vista 2 block out noise exceptionally well, to the point where co-workers had to stand directly in front of me to grab my attention. They aren’t quite as impressive in the outside world, but still dampen the screeching noises of busy roadways fairly well. Neat controls like wind filtering and ambient noise control for the Vista 2’s SurroundSense mode are welcomed features, too. The Vista 2 are significantly more effective than the previous ANC buds I reviewed—Amazon’s second-generation [Echo Buds](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/amazon-echo-buds-review-impressively-refreshing). Granted, for a \$60 price hike, they really don’t have an excuse not to be. But Jaybird hit the mark with the Vista 2’s ANC capabilities. ## What we don’t like ### Connection troubles ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--GP5PIvS5--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_1,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/2aac4dd999bb43a4/JaybirdVista4.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard We had much more trouble than expected connecting our first pair of Vista 2 buds. It took two days of sporadic attempts and several hard resets before I could get the Vista 2 to initially connect to either my Android phone or my partner’s iPhone. With colleagues, multiple Amazon reviews and other past Jaybird earbud owners reporting similar connection squabbles, though, I had to dig a little deeper. Jaybird overnighted another pair to review, and this time, the new Vista 2 seamlessly connected to my phone. Jaybird told me that it isn’t aware of any widespread connection issues with the Vista 2, but it's clear that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. It may be a case of an assorted batch of bad buds, and the majority of Vista 2 pairs could connect just fine. Even if that is true, it's still an unfortunate issue plaguing an otherwise excellent set of earbuds. Jaybird did disclose that there have been confirmed issues (and a [reported fix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxaqA8s5F5U)) with downloading the company’s app through a pop-up during setup with the earbuds, so the Vista 2 certainly aren’t hiccup-free. ### Spotty call quality ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--XxH6VzSv--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_1,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/f1f8454be7314a5a/JaybirdVista3.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard Call quality was hit and miss for most of the testing period. Jaybird touts what it calls “WindDefense fabric technology,” which is supposed to allow the Vista 2 to carry out phone calls regardless of the environment they’re dealing with. While the Vista 2 did perform well at certain points with calls (mostly in quieter areas like my living room or the office), it had its share of struggles while I was taking the dogs for a walk on a windy morning or cycling in the bike lane alongside a collection of morning commuters. Though, I wouldn’t expect most earbuds to excel while riding a bike, don't invest in the Vista 2 with expectations of them performing flawlessly while cycling through town or out on the trails. There are plenty of factors that could play into these lapses in quality, so I won’t pin it all on the Vista 2. But I did have multiple instances where conversations had to prematurely end because of how compromised my dialogue was. ## Should you buy it? ### Maybe, if you're willing to take a gamble on the connection issues The Vista 2 had me at their killer combination of fit and durability. When you add in a healthy serving of sound quality and active noise cancellation, these become really hard buds to pass up if you’re looking for a fitness-based option. The only potential cause for concern is the potential pairing trouble. While it could just be that I had a defective pair, identical connection issues with the Vista 2 have sprung up online. At this point, we just have to hope that Jaybird manages to address these connection problems, however scattered they may be, in a future firmware update. As for good alternatives, there are cheaper buds that will get the job done, like the new [Echo Buds](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/amazon-echo-buds-review-impressively-refreshing). And, when looking at more sport-centric earbuds, the Vista 2 do have some compelling competitors. The [Elite Active 75t](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/jabra-elite-active-75t-review) don’t stack up quite as well in terms of dust and water resistance (they offer a still-respectable IP57 rating), and some folks have had trouble with the 75t’s fit. But they’re still an unmatched value for their price point. And while the [Sony WF-SP800N](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/sony-wf-sp800n-true-wireless-earbuds-review) offer middling ANC and aren’t quite as durable on paper, they offer significantly better battery life while hovering around the same price. All that said, the Vista 2 are a great pair of earbuds if you don't experience their inconsistent pairing troubles.

Check out our list of the [Best Workout Headphones](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/best-right-now/the-best-headphones-for-the-gym) for more options.* ## About the Jaybird Vista 2 - Price: \$199.99 - Battery life: Up to 8 hours (without ANC), 24 hours total with charging case - Rapid charging: Five-minute charge for 1 hour of playback - Wireless charging: Yes, Qi-compatible case - Voice assistant compatibility: Google Assistant, Siri - Colors: Black, Nimbus Grey, Midnight Blue - Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 - Audio codecs: AAC, SBC - Dust/water resistance: IP68, IP54 wireless charging case - Ear tips: Three sizes of ear/wing tip eargels - Weight: 5.4 grams per bud, 48.2 grams with case - Warranty: One-year limited warranty in North America and Asia Pacific countries, two-year limited warranty in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. While Jaybird officially lists just the one battery life length (8 hours), that’s almost certainly without ANC or the Vista 2’s ambient sound mode turned on. By my testing, the Vista 2 usually tapped out after 5-6 hours of listening with ANC on, depending on how loud I was listening to my weekly dose of Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend. That doesn’t approach the likes of [the sporty Sony WF-SP800N’s](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/sony-wf-sp800n-true-wireless-earbuds-review) 9 hours of playback with ANC (13 without), but it’s still respectable given the Vista 2’s intended primary use case: getting your workout on. The Vista 2 have a few handy perks that you won’t find among their specs sheet. The buds’ accompanying app has a “Find my buds” feature that has proven handy more than once in my time testing them. Beyond that, the buds’ controls are delightfully straightforward, presenting a mix of taps and touches that corresponds to functions like playing/pause, track skip, volume, and sound modes. ## What we like ### A near-perfect build for athletes ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--8ve1Xc6E--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_auto,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/bf0ce0f19ae54826/JaybirdVista5.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard The water and dust resistance are both impressive even for workout buds. The headline says it all. Jaybird hit the sweet spot between comfort and security with the Vista 2, crafting a pair of buds that feel both at home in your ears and unwilling to leave under even the most strenuous circumstances. As someone who obsessively runs, bikes, and drags himself to the gym, I put the Vista 2 through a wide array of athletic activities. In response, these stylish little buds remained remarkably well-positioned in my ears. That said, durability is the focal point of the Vista 2 build. Jaybird says its new buds have an [IP68 weather resistance rating](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/features/what-do-waterproof-and-water-resistant-really-mean), making them completely dustproof and waterproof. Even the included wireless charging case has an IP54 resistance rating. Ultimately, it’s a level of protection that few wireless earbuds on the market today can match, including our current [favorite running buds](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/best-right-now/the-best-headphones-for-the-gym) the [Jabra Elite Active 75t](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/jabra-elite-active-75t-review). ### A quality, customizable sound signature I wasn’t blown away by the Vista 2’s sound quality out of the box. After playing with the sound profile in the accompanying Jaybird app, though, I quickly changed my tune. The app has multitudes of equalizer presets to audition, from Jaybird’s signature profile, to EQs designated for specific genres, and even sounds cultivated by prominent athletes. The pièce de ré·sis·tance, however, was the Personal EQ option. Maybe it’s just excellent marketing, but after taking a hearing test that prompted me to identify different frequencies, the profile that the app automatically generated sounded like an impressive match for my ears. The app has multitudes of equalizer presets to audition. The bass I was missing from certain Beastie Boys tracks was suddenly present, but not overpowering like it was in the “Bring the Bass” preset. Alternatively, higher frequencies offered the detail I was previously searching for. It took a bit of work, but I was able to unlock audio quality in the Vista 2 that was just right for me. ### Surprisingly stellar active noise cancellation ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--tTw6MaV7--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_auto,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/e77e32cba6db4c74/JaybirdVista7.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard Active noise canceling is quite respectable for durable buds at this price. The Vista 2 block out noise exceptionally well, to the point where co-workers had to stand directly in front of me to grab my attention. They aren’t quite as impressive in the outside world, but still dampen the screeching noises of busy roadways fairly well. Neat controls like wind filtering and ambient noise control for the Vista 2’s SurroundSense mode are welcomed features, too. The Vista 2 are significantly more effective than the previous ANC buds I reviewed—Amazon’s second-generation [Echo Buds](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/amazon-echo-buds-review-impressively-refreshing). Granted, for a \$60 price hike, they really don’t have an excuse not to be. But Jaybird hit the mark with the Vista 2’s ANC capabilities. ## What we don’t like ### Connection troubles ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--9-EqV9-e--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_auto,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/2aac4dd999bb43a4/JaybirdVista4.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard We had much more trouble than expected connecting our first pair of Vista 2 buds. It took two days of sporadic attempts and several hard resets before I could get the Vista 2 to initially connect to either my Android phone or my partner’s iPhone. With colleagues, multiple Amazon reviews and other past Jaybird earbud owners reporting similar connection squabbles, though, I had to dig a little deeper. Jaybird overnighted another pair to review, and this time, the new Vista 2 seamlessly connected to my phone. Jaybird told me that it isn’t aware of any widespread connection issues with the Vista 2, but it's clear that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. It may be a case of an assorted batch of bad buds, and the majority of Vista 2 pairs could connect just fine. Even if that is true, it's still an unfortunate issue plaguing an otherwise excellent set of earbuds. Jaybird did disclose that there have been confirmed issues (and a [reported fix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxaqA8s5F5U)) with downloading the company’s app through a pop-up during setup with the earbuds, so the Vista 2 certainly aren’t hiccup-free. ### Spotty call quality ![](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--sf84UwUI--/b_white,c_limit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,q_auto,w_792/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/attachment/f1f8454be7314a5a/JaybirdVista3.jpg) Credit: Reviewed/Nick Woodard Call quality was hit and miss for most of the testing period. Jaybird touts what it calls “WindDefense fabric technology,” which is supposed to allow the Vista 2 to carry out phone calls regardless of the environment they’re dealing with. While the Vista 2 did perform well at certain points with calls (mostly in quieter areas like my living room or the office), it had its share of struggles while I was taking the dogs for a walk on a windy morning or cycling in the bike lane alongside a collection of morning commuters. Though, I wouldn’t expect most earbuds to excel while riding a bike, don't invest in the Vista 2 with expectations of them performing flawlessly while cycling through town or out on the trails. There are plenty of factors that could play into these lapses in quality, so I won’t pin it all on the Vista 2. But I did have multiple instances where conversations had to prematurely end because of how compromised my dialogue was. ## Should you buy it? ### Maybe, if you're willing to take a gamble on the connection issues The Vista 2 had me at their killer combination of fit and durability. When you add in a healthy serving of sound quality and active noise cancellation, these become really hard buds to pass up if you’re looking for a fitness-based option. The only potential cause for concern is the potential pairing trouble. While it could just be that I had a defective pair, identical connection issues with the Vista 2 have sprung up online. At this point, we just have to hope that Jaybird manages to address these connection problems, however scattered they may be, in a future firmware update. As for good alternatives, there are cheaper buds that will get the job done, like the new [Echo Buds](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/amazon-echo-buds-review-impressively-refreshing). And, when looking at more sport-centric earbuds, the Vista 2 do have some compelling competitors. The [Elite Active 75t](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/jabra-elite-active-75t-review) don’t stack up quite as well in terms of dust and water resistance (they offer a still-respectable IP57 rating), and some folks have had trouble with the 75t’s fit. But they’re still an unmatched value for their price point. And while the [Sony WF-SP800N](https://www.reviewed.com/headphones/content/sony-wf-sp800n-true-wireless-earbuds-review) offer middling ANC and aren’t quite as durable on paper, they offer significantly better battery life while hovering around the same price. All that said, the Vista 2 are a great pair of earbuds if you don't experience their inconsistent pairing troubles. Jaybird's latest buds fit great, are built to last, and are the real deal when it comes to ANC. ## Meet the tester ![Nick Woodard](https://reviewed-com-res.cloudinary.com/image/fetch/s--uWukj50P--/b_white,c_fit,cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_progressive.strip_profile,g_center,h_160,q_auto,w_160/https://reviewed-production.s3.amazonaws.com/1604443185792/Nick%20Woodard.jpg) Nick Woodard Contributor [@nwoodard25](https://twitter.com/nwoodard25) Nick Woodard is a tech journalist specializing in all things related to home theater and A/V.
