The idea of putting two smart wireless buds in your ears and listening to music or in this case fitness training advice is amazing. The Jabra Sport Elite is a pair of wireless bud that offers music playback and also has sports tracking feature than includes offering fitness coaching right into your hear during workouts and taking heart rate readings. It also includes many of the features offered by the likes of Jabra Sport Pulse and Sport Special Edition wireless sport headphones including automatic rep counting and VO2 Max testing.
At a price of $250, the Jabra Sport Elite is not by any means cheap and also contains a lot of features too. The earbuds are capable of tracking your run, monitor heart rate and offer guidance to make you stronger or make you hit your peak during indoor high intensity interval workout (HIIT). They are a kind of mixture of both Jabra Coach and Jabra Pulse headphones fused into one and shed the wires. However, the price of the earbud is what you would expect to pay for alternatives like the Samsung’s Gear IconX or Dash wireless buds.
Design blueprint in the realm of wireless earbuds is pretty much the same and the Elite is no different. You have two buds and a carry case which also act as a charger as seen in the Apple Airpods. It is advisable to try out the different gels, foam tips and ear wings that come with the Jabra Sport Elite. There are three available options which are the large, medium and small variants, so there should be a nice fit for you and most times just using the gel is very much enough to get a snug fit.
Aside from that, it also offers varying levels of passive noise cancellation or enhanced bass to give you a better audio experience whether you are working out to your high-tempo playlist or taking calls. There are also controls on both buds, so you do not need your phone most of the time. On the left side, there are volume controls that also double up as a way to change tracks. Over on the right bud, there are two more buttons to answer calls, play/pause music and get real-time tracking updates from the app on the smartphone. There is also a HearThrough feature which when activated mutes the music and allows you to better hear your surroundings.
They are IP67 certified water resistant, which means they can survive in 1m of water for 30 minutes, however, on no occasion should you go swimming in the pool with it like the Dash. On the other hand, it is suitable to use when you are taking a run in the rain or sweating but you should not dip them in water in any way. For tracking your run you will need to pair it with your phones GPS which to an extent is reliable depending on your phone. The battery has a lifespan of 3 hours only, which is relatively short compared to others.
