The Jaybird Vista 2 earbuds are best suited for exercise with their sweatproof and dustproof features, and they provide excellent noise isolation. They're also more portable but have limited battery life and are not optimal for gaming or TV due to poor scores in that area. The JLab Jbuds Lux ANC headphones offer active noise cancelling and a significantly longer battery life, making them suitable for air travel or extended use. They have versatile built-in controls, but aren't as exercise-friendly and aren't optimized for call quality. Consider your primary activities—exercise and portability favor the Vista 2, while longer use and air travel favor the Jbuds Lux ANC. Give Feedback

Sound Guys

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."
