this is the Jabra sport pulse a stereo bluetooth headphone that's not only sweat and rain resistant but also has an integrated heart rate monitor it's one of the better any ER wireless sports headsets currently available but it's a bit pricey at $200 hi I'm David Carr noise and I like this sports pulse headphone better than jobbers earlier Bluetooth model the rocks which costs around $100 now the biggest reason I like it better is that it fit my ears a lot better and I think there's a decent shot that it will fit your ears securely and comfortably it helps the Jabra includes various wings and silicone tips to customize the fit and the heart rate sensor is designed to rest against the bottom of your ear opening there's an inline remote and microphone for making cell phone calls and the headphone comes with a nice little carrying case to use the heart rate monitor you have to download the free Jabra Sports life app which is available for Android and iOS users I thought the app was good you can do timed runs in the app will track your current heart rate as well as your average heart rate over the course of a workout it saves your history updates your distance and pace with intermittent voice prompts and includes some built-in tests in a music player that allows you to tap into your music library alternatively you can use a music service such as Spotify while the Jabra app is running you can also use the headphone with other fitness apps like Nike Plus and RunKeeper if you can get a tight seal the sound quality is pretty decent though I wouldn't say these offer fantastic sound they're a little bright and you do lose quite a bit of bass if you don't get a tight seal for casual listening while you're working out they do a good job but as I said I tight seal is crucial to maximizing sound quality and if you're working out hard that tight seal will be hard to maintain battery life is rated at around four and a half hours that's not great but most of these in-ear bluetooth headphones max out at around 5 hours so it's within expectations as I said I like these jabbers and I was able to get a secure comfortable fit which is critical when you're dealing with a sports headphone the heart rate sensor works well and seems to be accurate but not everybody needs that feature and you don't you can save some money by going with a headphone like Plantronics backbeat fit but if you are looking for a headphone with an integrated heart rate monitor the pulse is certainly worth considering despite its higher price point I'm David Carr noise thanks for watching
