The Jaybird Vista 2 earbuds are the better choice if you need wireless convenience, enjoy exercising with your earbuds, or require features like active noise cancelling, sweat and dust proofing, as well as app-based customization for sound and controls. However, they are much more expensive and have a lower gaming score due to latency issues. In contrast, the KZ ZSN Pro (with Mic) earbuds offer a wired connection with better sound for gaming and a detachable cable, which could be more durable over time. They're more budget-friendly, but lack wireless capabilities, noise cancellation, and the sports-oriented features of the Jaybird Vista 2. 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."

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
