Wireless headphones with a personal trainer? Yes please! Simple but effective! Full review: http://www.mobilereviews-eh.ca/jabra-sport-coach-review-wireless-earbuds-w-powerbeats2-comparison/ Check out my website: http://www.mobilereviews-eh.ca/ The Sport Coach fits quite comfortably and aren’t finicky to deal with like the Beats powerbeats2 that I have do though they will get in the way of certain exercises. They are one of the better sounding headphones that I’ve used which is great and Jabra has built an interesting app around the headphones. Based on my time with the Jabra Sport Coach, I’ve given it a score of 4.2 Eh’s out of 5. I prefer these headphones over my wireless Powerbeats2 as they scored 2.7 Eh’s and would definitely recommend them to anybody looking for a pair of great sounding, great fitting headphones to get sweaty with. In terms of fit and comfort, Jabra includes a plethora of different plugs and doohickeys to ensure that these earbuds fit properly in your ear (they’re actually called eargels and earwings). I stayed with the medium eargels and earwings as larger eargels would pop the headphones out and the larger earwings would pop out anything I moved my head. For my workout sessions, between biking to the gym and back, I was able to use them for over 2 hours comfortably. If you wear these headphones without using the clip, you’re going to find that any exercise that requires you to rack a bar will pull the headphones out of your ears. Now you can do what the model in their marketing material did and put the cable on top of the rack but that seems silly. Or you could just use the clip that Jabra includes to basically tie up the cables to the back of your head but be warned, this setup will force the headphones out of your head after a couple of head turns which doesn’t happen if you let them hang free so depending so choose your setup wisely. In terms of sound, these Jabra headphones sounded a little better than my wireless Powerbeats but didn’t come close to my Bowers and Wilkens over-ear headphones. You can take and make calls with the headphones and the actual sound is bearable but if you’re on a phone call with the cable behind your head, the person you’re talking to is going to hear the mic rub up against your clothing. The Sport Coach will track your steps, cadence, distance, pace and calories burned which is great for exercise that cover distances like biking and running but most of these metrics are sort of useless for a cross-trainer where you’re being pretty stationary but don’t fret, Jabra’s got some good stuff for cross-trainers in their Sport Life App. In terms of app compatibility, the Jabra Sport Coach can be paired with a variety of different fitness apps but the main focus of the Jabra Sport Coach is Jabra’s own Sport Life App. I wouldn’t go as far to say that the headphones are useless without the app but Jabra’s done an ok job of making the two different products work together. On the left earbud, there’s a button that functions as the start/stop button for all the exercises that you can do through the Sport Life App. For the cross-training portion of the app, it basically allows you to tell the app when you’re done the allocated number of reps which you still have to count yourself. Its simple and it works. As a side note, since there’s no other place to put this, one of the most unique things about these headphones is the voice that tells you that you’re “connected”. Its an oddly attractive female voice… In terms of practicality, these headphones only have battery life for 5.5 hours of continuous use so you’re not going to be spending all-day with them. They come with a carrying case so they can easily go in your gym bag but exercise is really the only place I would use these headphones. Now the Sport Life App is one of the reasons why I would get this product. I’ve been working out for over half my life now and I’ve gotten into many workout ruts. I.e doing the same exercises hoping for different results. If you don’t have an appetite to hire a trainer, getting the Jabra Sport Coach is an easy way to find a different exercise regimen to shake things up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
