Jabra Sport Coach Sport Earphones - REVIEW Pt. 2 of 2

2016-02-02
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room Jarboe now has a full lineup of sport earbuds that are water and dust resistant I review their job or sport pulse which measures your heart rate while working out they drop our sport pace which is the budget-friendly version of their sport lineup and in this video we're looking at the mid-range sport coach model it's priced at 149 dollars retail as of this video this is the second half of a two-part video upload part one goes over in detail the sport pace model that jarrah supplied me which could be a better alternative as it is cheaper and offers a different design that you might prefer I'll put the link in the video description below so you can watch that if you're interested so without further ado I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to another review don't over the physical features first these are built well despite being mostly hard plastic they don't feel cheap or poorly made looking at the right earphone and under the silicone ear wings is a microUSB port for charging the device Jabra claims up to five and a half hours of use in from my testing of leaving this on from a full battery to dead at 50% vine with two 15-minute runs in between just like I did with the Jabra Sport pace I was able to achieve 4 hours and 52 minutes of use when comparing to other Wireless sport Bluetooth earphones the up to five and a half hours claims or my actual results I got emit are a bit on the low side staying on the right side moving down there's your volume controls and pairing button offering nice feedback and clicking buttons testing this on apple and android devices worked fine with offering pause and play volume up and down and confirming phone calls do work as well moving on to the left ear button like all these sport models features the sports button used to answer phone calls and when pressed during your workouts gives you information on your current performance but more on that a little bit later regarding overall durability and simply using these from day to day they're not the lay flat tangle free cords that you see on the sport paced model but if they do tangle just a little bit here it's not a pain to quickly unravel them in addition when comparing through these sport pastes the wires on these are much more flexible so I didn't notice the wire on the back my neck as much as I did with the spork pace which is a little bit stiffer but both models were still fine to wear now last as I stated earlier these are water and dust resistant dropper States this is ip55 certified with the first number number five here out of six indicating this is of course dust resistant and the second number number five out of nine indicating this can resist a sustained low pressure water jet spray the Jabra sport pace model is just a hair lower rated at ip54 essentially with both models you can sweat with this on or basically be caught in the rain from a run and have no problems after my testing spraying water my earbuds they're still working fine and right before getting into comfort drama does provide a nice compact carrying case that'll help keep all your ear tips ear wings and of course your ear buds protected while traveling regarding those ear tips there's four in total the very soft and comfortable in my ear easy to fit from my personal experience and more importantly provides a secure hold one thing to be aware about though these are in ear ear buds the sport pace model sets somewhat in the ear canal but these four coach model that I'm reviewing here are four short considered as in-ear I like in ears because they do provide a more immersive sound presence but for some runners and especially cyclists because the outside world is a bit muffled down a bit it may be dangerous when you're say running by yourself or cycling on the side of the road to just take that into consideration testing this while running statum out your perfectly fine something a little bit more vigorous here like jumping jacks push-ups and also running up this oddly shaped tail the earbuds never fell out on my ear nor that lose audio isolation but before getting to the sound test drawbar in their sport lineup of earphone differentiates from other sport earphones that just plays audio but offering a very comprehensive app to help supplement your workouts if you have watched part one this will look very similar but there are some minor differences that makes this sport coach definitely different on the main page any of the metrics you see on screen you can customize and haven't showed different bits of information on the first page first thing I did notice that is different is cadence is an available real-time metric that you can monitor this was not available on the sport pace but tapping on this you can select either split speed pace average speed duration distance calories burned average pace speed pace splits and less is better information which comes in very helpful moving down you can segment your workouts and label it as any of that you see on screen here if you need to feel free to rewind or pause the video if I'm going a little too fast you can choose free mode which you will measure mostly your basic for you when you do any kind of workout or you can set your goals before you start any activity there's two additional goals that you don't get with the support pace model and that's cross-training and cadence opening up cross-training real quick since this is one of the coaches selling points there are three to five or three to six minute workouts each with a list of exercises to perform as you can see on your screen now when you start the circuit and there are some exercises that are based on time and others that are based really on reps after you personally finish each rep set you tap that checkmark to the right and move on to the next exercise most exercises are bodyweight exercises like push-ups burpees lunges squats and the very few involves using these suggested kettlebell now for my assessment the coaching is there with audio cues indicating how much time is left and what the next exercise is coming up but I was under the impression the earphones would also count these movements unfortunately the coach doesn't count these movements at all as stated earlier you would have to manually tap that checkmark to move on but getting back to what other goals you can attempt to achieve there's distance time calories cadence target pace which is my personal favourites and last is interval training now backing out here last you can select your music source either locally stored on your phone or stream music from the likes of Pandora Slacker Radio I Heart Radio etc but let's start a running segment here and just show you what everything looks like when you initiate a run your phone's GPS will kick in and track your distance and help with calculating your pace speed and other various data not to mention DARPA has their track fit motion sensor technology built into this that does offer a bit more detail over the Jabra pace starting a run you have cadence and duration that displays on default but keep in mind we can tap this to customize the display with everything that I disclosed earlier if you want more information on one screen the next page is where it's at the very last page will be a map of your run that tracks where you are in real time and once you stop the workout session a summary is provided detailing some of your metrics the map once again and last our linear line graphs which works great here as you can visually see and compare how changing one area of performance like for example cadence may have improved or decreased your speed in turn affecting your pace now for those who are ready apps like endomondo RunKeeper Strava MyFitnessPal & runtastic this app does feed data to those apps for you but before going to the audio next let me show you real quick here what other features are on here in the menu icon you have history to see of your runs but better achievements are viewable to see and compare your best week best month and you can even compare what your best record was for the year there's also a fitness test which you can perform and for those who will be at the gym some folks leave their phone down while we're racking or leaving the phone out of their pocket while doing squats and leg presses the farthest distance I've walked away from the phone in my field test was between 30 to 35 linear feet until the audio started cracking a bit just a few feet shorter than these sport pays now let's finally talk about the Jarvis sound signature and my sound test of course although this model does offer Dolby audio I'm going to discuss what this sounds like from the factory first starting with bass these are slightly lower in bass for some songs here than the Jabra sport pace it hits but it's not overdone and it's definitely not underpowered either if you're not a bass lover and desire something more balanced this is the way to go for the rest the sound signature is very similar to the pace with an accompanying mid-range that's not boxy it's not recessed yet not bright either the high notes are kept in check without being tinny or ear ringing heavily use these earphones in general for 2 hours straight with no listening fatigue there's a little bit more auto separation compared to the pace and just an ever so slightly bigger soundstage from the factory but it's not dramatic or as open as say DJ Byrd blue bud X 2 s or the power beats 2 as well now going back to Dolby audio when you do buy these for coach or these for pulse models you do get a Dolby audio code in the retail box to install and use this app things to know about Dolby audio this only works for locally stored music jarba does confirm this does not work for online music streaming services but if you are listening locally the Dolby does provide a noticeable difference not drastic but the AutoCAD touristic and sound stage is improved there's also an equalizer built into the app to supplement the Dolby audio processing in which you can increase the bass to your liking here or maybe make the mid-range stand up a bit more overall with Dolby the audio works well and if you won't be using this feature downloading your own third-party equalizer helps a very good sounding pair of sport earphones sound even better in more immersive from my experience so that's it for this review remember to check out
