The Jaybird RUN were also developed in cooperation with some of the best runners on the planet, to help form the best pair of truly wireless earbuds for runners.
The Jaybird RUN are comfort fit, and even include a few different ear tips. Since not everyone’s ears are the same size, Jaybird wanted to make sure that these would fit everyone’s ears. These earbuds offer up 4 hours of continuous playback, however the carrying case has a battery built-in which offers an additional 8 hours – giving users 12 hours of playback. The Jaybird RUN can only be charged while in the case, and it charges via a micro USB cable. Jaybird says that it should take about 2 hours to fully charge the Jaybird RUN.
