CONCLUSION

   Two pages earlier we said that the 6mm dynamic drivers of the Sport Plus may not be large enough to produce good bass levels but we were partially wrong since these are even better compared to the good ROX model. True we’ve heard deeper and richer bass with a few other earphones in the past but for a sports headset the Sport Pulse does extremely well in that area. Overall audio quality is also very good with crisp and accurate mids and highs although when the volume is turned all the way up you may experience some slight distortion (of course that depends a lot on the type of music you’re listening). The heart-rate monitor also works as advertised and although it may not be just as accurate as our polar chest monitor still it comes extremely close. The only problem with the Sport Pulse is their battery life since at almost full volume with the heart-rate monitor enabled we had a really hard time crossing the 4 hours mark. Of course even 4 hours should be more than enough for running or working out but there are some sports headsets out there with almost twice as much battery life so do keep that in mind (still those don’t feature an integrated heart-rate monitor).

   So how much does this little “wonder” by Jabra cost? Actually things are very good here too compared to when the Sport Pulse Wireless Earbuds were first released roughly 18 months ago since currently you can find them for USD138.94 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 119Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). So if Jabra was still asking the same amount of money for the Sport Pulse as they did 18 months ago we’d probably have a problem with that but since they don’t and the price is right we think that these sport earbuds represent one of the best models in the market currently which is why they get our Golden Award.
