Jabra’s Elite Sport aim to be the ultimate wireless sporting headphones

Most headphones ostensibly designed for sportsmen usually don’t go beyond waterproofing them and making them wireless but Jabra’s Elite Sport wireless earbuds aim to take the concept of a sports-oriented wireless headphone to the next level.

Not only are the Jabra Elite Sport ear buds completely wireless, they also come with IP67 waterproofing against sweat and water with the ability to playback music or take calls off your phone for up to three hours. Built-in noise cancelling helps to squelch outside noises for crystal clear audio when nattering away. Outdoor runners will also appreciate the fact that the Elite Sport is able to recreate external ambient sounds to stay aware of incoming traffic and other hazards when in use.

Once you’re done or they run out of juice, you can rinse them off and bung them back in their clamshell carry case that also doubles as a charging dock and which also offers an additional six hours of charge.

All very respectable, yes but where the Jabra Elite Sport differentiates itself from the hoi polloi out there is that it works closely with their own Sport Life App which acts as as a personalised coach of sorts while the Sport Life app tracks calories burned, distance covered and other minutiae from your workout. The Jabra Elite Sport costs RM1,259 inclusive of GST and can be acquired on Lazada Malaysia along with other Jabra Sport series headphones like the Pulse, the Coach and Pace. From now until June 30, buyers who acquire the Elite Sport and the aforementioned headphones on Lazada get a free Pineng brand PN-920K 20,000mAh power bank that’s worth RM79. The Jabra Elite Sport is also available at selected Jabra resellers nationwide.
