Our Verdict

Jaybird X3 Wireless

Fitbit Flyer Wireless

The Jaybird X3 Wireless are better wireless in-ears than the Fitbit Flyer Wireless. The Jaybird have a better isolating in-ear fit and come with a couple more tip options than the Fitbit. They also have a better default sound that you can customize via the Jaybird app and a longer battery life. On the other hand, the Fitbit have a more premium look and feel, and come with a few more stability fin options, which may be more comfortable for some ears. They also have a much easier to charge design that does not require a proprietary charging clip like the Jaybird, which can be very limiting.
