Jabra SPORT Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headphones - Retail Packaging - Black

Recommended. I have used them for about a month to workout at gym; while doing weight and cardio training.The bluetooth conection is excellent. Most of the time I have the iPhone in my pocket and no problem. On many ocassions I just put the phone under the towel and stay within a 15 feet radius with no problem either.The battery life is good. It takes a few hours to fully charge, but not an issue.Sound is great for my expectations, but maybe not for someone looking for a "beats" or "Bose" sound.The only minor trouble would be when you use it to answer calls. The person you are talking to could say that you need to speak up. But hey, if you are working out you dont really need to have a long conversation. I just answer the call briefly and keep on training.Its an entirely sport and workout product and the best part is that there are no cables getting in the way of your training.

This may be my first review of a product ever on Amazon, but I felt compelled to write something.My friend is looking for a pair of BT headphones and I recommended these. He then grew weary because of all the negative comments.I purchased mine back in February - with over 3 months of everyday use (roughly 1-1 1/2 hour workouts 5-7 days per week) I can honestly say these work the same now as they did the day I got them.Connectivity - I don't recall ever having trouble pairing these with my iPhone 6. Maybe the first time(?). Once I turn them on and flip on BT on my phone they pair quick and automatically.Comfort - I was sure I wanted some headphones that wrapped around the ear since they would be used mostly for running/weight lifting. If there was a knock on these at all it would be in the comfort category. It took some trial and error to figure out exactly what ear piece was most comfortable, but you are provided with 7 different choices. They are kind of bulky around the ear which makes wearing a hat somewhat difficult, but after a week or so you get used to it. I wear a hat to the gym every day.Battery - On average they last me 3 or 4 workouts. 1-1 1/2 hours on average as mentioned above. I haven't noticed the battery life decrease much if at all since week 1. I will say I wish the charging cord was a little longer. They charge pretty fast. I would guess 45 minutes to an hour to full charge. I've had a few times where they were completely dead when I leave the house and they are able to charge enough on my drive to the gym to last a full workout.Sound quality - I am in no way an audiophile. In my opinion, I think the Apple headphones are great. I would say these sound just as good as the Apple headphones. If sound is something you are particular about, I would take this review with a grain of salt.Misc. - The built in FM radio was something I honesty did not ever expect to want or need. I have however, found multiple occasions where I used it. The gym I go to uses radio frequencies for the TVs. So I have paired my headphones with those TVs so I could listen while I run. I also have gone on walks and runs without my phone and still been able to listen to the radio. Very handy - sometimes.Overall for the cost ($63) and what I've got out of them I do not have a single complaint. But based off other reviews maybe I just got lucky and got a good pair.

Update:I got the replacement pair, they worked one day only and stopped working in the same manner as the first pair. I'm dropping to 2 stars from 3 and will try to replace one more time. I guess I'm hoping that they just have a high percentage of faulty devices rather than a design problem.2nd Update: I give up, I want to like these, but they have a lifespan of somewhere between 2-14 days. Just returned pair #3. Could just be the 3 pairs I went through, but I doubt it. Major design or manufacturing flaw happening here. I'll wait for Sport++ I guess.I wanted to rate these 5 stars, because they were everything that I was looking for in bluetooth headphones...Then they stopped working entirely after 2 weeks.It seems that there are 5 important categories to rate BT Headphones1. BT connectivity2. Sweat resistance3. Sound quality4. Fit5. Form factorI have had a number of blue tooth headsets that have all been failures for one reason or another. Here's how the Jabra Sport+ worked in each category.Bluetooth: You'll often see reviews where people write that you need to have you phone/music player on the left or right side of your body. This is ridiculous to me. I want the bluetooth connection to be near perfect when the I'm with 2 feet of the device. Sadly, not all seem to be able to do this. I refrained from buying the original Jabra sport because too many reviews complained about BT connectvity. For the 2 weeks they worked, the Jabra SPORT+ bluetooth connection was near perfect. 5 Stars for BT connectivity.Sweat Resistance:I sweat like a fat Greek running on a treadmill. Mostly because I'm a fat Greek that runs on a treadmill. This was a fatal failure for my similarly styled Plantronics unit. Sweat caused the unit to die after about 10 minutes into every workout. The Jabra Sport+ never failed due to sweat. 5 Stars for sweat resistance.Sound Quality:At first I was disappointed, then I spent the afternoon trying all the ear piece covers. When you get the right ones, you'll find the sound is pretty good. Bear in mind it's pretty good for a BT unit that is intended for workouts. It's not like a wired unit, and it's not like an over the ear (earmuff-like) set. It gets 5 stars for it's type in the sound quality category.Fit: I don't wear glasses, but I sometime wear sunglasses when I run, and I had no problem. Other than that, as mentioned above, when you get the right ear pieces on (the unit includes like 10 types) they fit very well. Then stay put when your're jogging and they're comfortable and that's what I wanted. 5 Stars.Form Factor: These are exactly what I was looking for, so this may be more more of a 5 star review for my preference. Here's what I like. I wanted the hook-over-the-ear, and I wanted the loose cable behind the neck. The former because ear muff like units get very hot for workouts, and the latter because you can't lay down on a weight bench with the rigid bar behind the neck like you see on the motorola units or the rest-on-your-neck style like the LG ones. Also the buttons are accessible and responsive and usable while jogging. I was never able to operate the buttons on the Plantronics headsets, to small, too rigid. These worked great. I give Form Factor 5 stars.Couple of other things...These have an FM radio. I never used it, wouldn't care if it wasn't there.These take/make voice calls. I didn't intend to use them for this, and if they didn't have this feature I would have purchased anyway. But when I used them for some calls that came in while I was wearing them, I was very impressed, they worked very well for this feature that I wasn't particularly interested in.BUT, then they crapped out entirely after only 2 weeks...Initially I was listening to music and noticed the volume control wasn't working, I figured I'd turn them off and back on. Well I turned them off and they never came back...so they don't get 5 Stars. I'm giving them 3 for now. Because everything was great until they failed. AND I'm hoping it was a flukey bad pair.Amazon gets 5 Stars as usual, for replacing the broken ones in 2 days.
