 Great Press Coverage and Reviews for Jaybird Vista
Cypress Proprietary Information
▪ Wired:
− “I never experienced dropouts, and there was no noticeable lag time when I watched videos on my
phone. And finally, I didn’t have problems making or taking calls.”
− Jaybird’s latest wireless sport headphones sound fantastic and weigh a minuscule six grams per bud.
That’s a third smaller than the Bose SoundSport Frees.
▪ TheVerge
− I’ve been using the Vista for about a week as my main headphones, and so far, they have held up as
well as any other top-notch truly wireless headphone on the market today.”
▪ AndroidCentral
− “Vista is just plain solid. No dropouts, no garbling, no latency while watching video. It connects to the
previous device every time and stays connected. This is the experience I want from a pair of truly
wireless earbuds.”

earbud plays the other channel (left)
− User can control the stream from either the Primary or the Secondary
earbud

▪ Voice call support (HFP/HSP)

− NB/WB Voice call
− Voice data sent to the audio gateway (ie. phone) comes from the Primary
earbud’s microphone(s)
− Both secondary and primary earbud’s render downlink voice on its local
speaker
− User can control the call from either the Primary or the Secondary earbud

▪ Primary/secondary switch
− The Primary/Secondary roles can be dynamically switched by the
application based on RF conditions, battery life, etc.
− The Primary device and secondary device synchronize the information at
each software level. Once this is complete the swap is performed.
