[zjlim86]

Which will you all go to if the price for Go 2 is SGD106 and X2 is US126?

Bought my GO2 @ $99 from Challenger a month back.
Pretty good sound quality and have no problems with it being loose or falling out during my jogs.

Only drawback i think is that its batt life is not so good. I charge it once every 6 times i go for jogs.

Backbeat go battery life is about 4hrs only. If you're charging once every six times u finished jogging is considered not too bad. I used to charge before once after every 2 runs as battery life eventually will get shorter.

mainly because X2 have longer battery life and more satki

Agree! Another alternative will be the JBL under armor but price slightly on the high side I think.

So far quite happy with them, but I can't get Comply foam buds, as they do not have the correct size for them.

I think X3 coming out soon...

WHAT ABOUT JABRA rox and pulse?

 

[Momentumm]

i just bought the Jabra Pace yst after testing meelectronics and bose. I think you should give the Pulse a try. The sound is really good and the earpiece does not come off my ear during my whole 2 hour workout at the gym.

For budget the mee audio x7plus is good value but I really like the JBL UA.

I review quite a lot of headphones and I bought Jabra Pulse because it has heart rate sensor which I sync to Runtastic and tracks my pulse throughout my workout. The audio quality produces warm bass and close soundstaging yet treble is not too bright, great when you need to pump up your beats.

Jabra Pulse Review: http://musicphotolife.com/2014/10/jabra-sport-pulse-wireless-earbuds-review/

Jaybird X2 delivers extremely crystal-clear treble, so if you love the highs, this is a must-get. But if you are sensitive to highs, you will find it fatiguing to listen over long periods or loud volumes.

Jaybird X2 Review: http://musicphotolife.com/2015/11/jaybird-x2-review/

Backbeat GO 2 is kind of a balance on the above 2. Its bass is not as filling as Pulse, while the treble is not that bright as X2. The battery life is the weakest, and its ear wings are too soft to hold it firmly in place for aggressive movements.

Hope this helps!

Went to buy the UA but bought X7+ after trying both.

Found that the UA fitting is too bulky. The X7+ has very snug fit and very comfortable for me.

The price difference is substantial too.

No regrets.

not really like the backbeat go 2 due to the design. tried to put it on, feel like it will coming out any minute. didn't take it to a run though as it's not mine.
