these are Under Armour and JBL's new heart rate headphones they're designed for working out and are rated IPX five so while not fully waterproof they'll do just fine in the rain and with sweat the headphones worked with the you a record app which lets you track runs and workouts and receive audio updates for things like pace distance and heart rate zones you can also get accurate on-demand updates on your heart rate by tapping the underarmor logo on the right ear bud other features include an inline remote and microphone for taking calls changing songs and changing the volume as for battery life you can expect up to 5 hours of usage which is the same for similar headphones overall they sounded pretty good and the hook design kept them in my ear when walking and running but here's my problem with them they feature an open design and don't go far in the ear so while this allows you to hear cars and people around you and running it also means they aren't very good for blocking out noise and really aren't worth wearing when you aren't working out and at $200 that's a lot of money for a pair of part-time headphones now while the heart rate feature is cool most people probably don't care about it and those who do are better off getting a heart rate running wash or using a chest strap at the gym for more information on our watch heart rate headphones check out my full article over at CENTCOM
