Logitech Plays Up the Audio Jack Angle With New Wireless Sports Earbuds

Saying “no audio jack required,” Logitech bowed wireless sports earbuds Thursday, appealing to iPhone 7 buyers who can’t use wired headphones without an adapter. Logitech’s “sweatproof” Jaybird X3 sport headphones have Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, allowing users to pair two sets of X3s to one device and pair one set of X3s to two devices simultaneously. Voice prompts let users know when the phones are successfully paired with a Bluetooth device and whether the headphones are on or off, said Logitech. Users can customize sound settings with the MySound app, it said. Battery life of the phones is given as eight hours. The $129 X3s began selling at jaybirdsport.com Thursday and will arrive in Best Buy stores next month, said the company.
