If exercise and robustness are priorities, the Jaybird Vista 2, being both sweatproof and dustproof, would be better suited. For those valuing sound quality for music and TV, the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 offers superior performance, but may fall short during calls. The Aurvana's aptX Lossless could be compelling if high-quality audio streaming is critical, while the Vista 2 excels in battery life for extended use. Noise cancellation is present in both, but the Aurvana is tailored for air travel with its active noise cancelling feature. Consider the Vista 2 for cost-effectiveness and fitness, or the Aurvana Ace 2 for higher quality audio experiences and noise cancellation. Give Feedback

Chase Bernath | September 2022
"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
