INTRODUCTION

   Listening to music wirelessly while on the go or while exercising has always been very important to me and no matter how hard I’ve tried over the years i just can't seem to find the perfect stereo earbuds for me (and the same applies to many people i know). Now usually i mostly look for audio quality and volume levels whenever i use a wireless headset daily but battery life is equally important especially when you're working out (you can't really use a powerbank when you do) and to date i just haven't found one that ticks all three categories. Jabra seems to believe that their latest Elite Sport True Wireless Earbuds may actually be the one and although it took some time for them to send a sample our way I’ve been using it for slightly over a month with very good results thus far.

   Jabra seems to be onto something with the Elite Sport True Wireless Earbuds since not only do they feature Bluetooth v4.1 connectivity (10 meters range with full support for A2DP v1.2/AVRCP v1.5/HFP v1.6/HP v1.2 profiles), 4 digital MEMS microphones (offer advanced noise cancellation with hearthrough and sidetone functions), IP67 rated enclosures (dustproof and water proof up to 1 meter) and battery packs which give them up to 3 hours of playback time but they also come ready with a clinical grade in-ear heart rate monitor and a Tri-axis accelerometer (TrackFit Motion Counting Sensor). The two 6.8mm dynamic stereo drivers feature a max input power of 8mW and combine a frequency response of 20Hz-20KHz with 108dB sensitivity and 16Ohm impedance while on the other hand the 4 MEMS (MicroElectrical-Mechanical System) microphones feature a frequency range of 100Hz-10KHz with -38dB sensitivity. Thanks to both the heart-rate monitor and the Tri-axis accelerometer the Elite Sport can also be used as your personal trainer since they have the ability to track/record time, speed, distance, pace, steps, cadence, calories, heart rate, heart rate zone, VO2 Max estimation, and repetitions. A bundled on-the-go charging case which gives an extra of 6 hours of playback time to the Elite Sport is here to complete Jabra's offering and yes if you’ve been following our reviews then you know that we consider such "add-ons" as especially important.
