several totally wireless earbuds edge phones have trickled into the market in recent months and Jabra has entered the zero wire frame with its $250 elites or Wireless sports air buds what makes the elite sports so elite for starters the buds are fully sweat and waterproof there's also an integrated heart rate monitor that provides it in your fitness analysis and as you'd expect from a Jabra headphone they work well as a headset for making calls with built-in noise reduction technology according to Jabra the earbuds analyze external sounds and automatically switch to the earbud with the least amount of background noise what impressed me most about these guys was their ability to maintain a steady hiccup free connection and stay in my ears while I was running they also sound decent you'll have to try out a few of the various tips and fins that Jabra provides before you settle into a fit you're satisfied with on the downside they are somewhat beefy and while they should fit most people's ears pretty well and fairly comfortably due to their size in the shape of my ear I didn't find them super comfortable like competing products battery life isn't great they're rated at just three hours of music listening but it's easy to get extra juice by slipping them into their charging case which has an integrated battery that gives you two additional charges you can use the headphones with your favorite iOS and Android running and fitness apps but Jabra has its own training management app called Jabra sport life that's good too and gives you in your coaching and feedback I'm not going to do a deep dive into all the fitness aspects of this headphone but I will say this is one of the stronger early entries in the totally wireless headphone arena it's not without a small flaws it could be slightly more comfortable the battery life could be better and the price could be lower but they do work surprisingly well and hardcore athletes will appreciate it they have a three year warranty it gets failure due to sweat oh and if you lose one but Jabra will give you a good deal on a replacement bud or so the folks there told me I'm David Carr now for cnet.com that's the Jabra elite sport thanks for watching
