When Jaybird came out with the first version of the Freedom brand, released as the JB100 Freedom model, it was 2007.
The Bluetooth market at the time was mostly monophonic or over-the-ear headphones. Sound quality, volume, and sweat-resistance were problematic for most brands, but not for Jaybird.
Jump ahead to 2016 and we are filthy with Bluetooth. Sadly, despite the options, you would think there were only two brands. Bassheads swear by Beats by Dre, while runners and cyclists prefer Jaybird models.

Proven Technology
Jaybird has been building reputable buds for a few years. What they do best is keep out sweat, but they’re not too shabby for sound quality either.
The other thing they do well is stay connected to your device.
Bluetooth biggest challenge is the inability to transmit through human flesh. By placing the Bluetooth chip outside the ear canal, Jaybird maintains consistent connectivity.
This is the challenge facing the current lineup of ear canal-based technologies. With your phone on your hip, the signal has to beeline through your body.

Durable
The Freedoms are no doubt sweat proof. Part of this is due to their aforementioned track record. They’ve been doing sweat proof from the beginning.
The other part is their new, injected metal molding earbud design, which protects all the components from moisture. The one cable that connects the two buds is Jaybirds can be shortened to fit your head without worrying about the actual cord shorting out.
As with all Jaybird headphones, if you have any problems, the Freedoms come with a one-year warranty.
