When Jaybird released the original Vista earbuds back in 2019, they were very well received by the running community and they soon became a firm forum favourite with plenty of glowing reviews.

Recently, there’s been some more buzz, as Jaybird have updated the Vista, looking to improve on audio quality as well as adding noise cancellation.

However, this feature bump has resulted in a price bump to £189.99.

Meanwhile, the price of the originals has moved downwards from £159.99 to £139.99, so could this be a good time to buy?

We put them through their paces again on a 5K and also during a very energetic HIIT session at the gym to see how they compared with all the other sport buds out there competing for your attention.

The verdict: Jaybird Vista sport earbuds

From the fit to the fast charge option it seems like everything about the Vista buds is designed with exercise in mind. If you spend your training time thinking more about how to stop your earbuds falling out than your performance then they will banish those doubts, so you can just concentrate on the music to motivate you.

The audio quality can easily compete with more expensive in-ears and with the current £20 saving this could be a great time to pick an in-ear player that’s still got plenty to offer.
