The verdict
Though the Jaybird X4 is the better wireless earbuds, it's hard to knock the Tarah's. They offer most of what makes the X4 special, for less money. Unless the few subtle differences between the two are complete deal breakers for you, it's hard to recommend the X4 earbuds over the newer Tarah.
