More Than Just Wireless
JABRA ELITE SPORT BREAKS THROUGH
For calls, the Elite Sport earbuds boast advanced four-microphone call technology and wind noise reduction. Meanwhile, music-lovers will be treated to the bass-enriched sound for up to three hours on a single charge. Finally, for the fitness crowd, the Elite Sport offers personalised fitness analysis and tracking via an in-ear heart rate monitor. In line with the rest of the Jabra Sport range, the Elite Sport is deeply integrated with Jabra’s Sports Life app to comprehensively track your own fitness levels and then develop, manage, track and evaluate workouts designed to meet your goals.
According to Jabra CEO René Svendsen-Tune, “We’ve used our R&D expertise from across the GN Group to deliver not just the most technically advanced true wireless sports earbuds, but actually the most complete cord-free experience for our customers.”
“Jabra Elite Sport is an example of an intelligent sound solution that delivers calls and music very well, and does so much more besides.”
The Elite Sport include a carry-case that doubles as a charger for the earbuds and bumps up the battery life by six hours. However, unlike the IconX – Jabra’s Elite Sport supports all major smartphone operating systems (both Android & iOS) and comes waterproofed – an addition that makes it all the more suitable for the audience Jabra is targeting. In this way and many others, the Elite Sport represents Jabra’s efforts to not just act but be prepared for the reality of how their product will be used.
The earbuds come with an IP67 rating and have been tested to work for at least 30 minutes while submerged in up to one foot of water. It’s a feat Jabra are so confident about that they’re willing to throw in a three-year extended warranty against sweat (registration required). From the ground up, the Elite Sport has been designed with usability in mind. Jabra know there’s no use selling fitness headphones without effective waterproofing and they know there’s no point in having cordless earbuds if it just creates more hassle. The experience here is as streamlined as it gets. One earbud can be used to raise or lower the volume, the other allows you to filter through ambient sound at the touch of a button.
In the aftermath of Apple finally cutting the cord on the headphone jack, plenty of companies have come out swinging for the wireless earbud market. Though this competition is fierce, the Jabra Elite Sport simply can’t be dismissed as just another pair of wireless headphones. Whether your interest is in listening to music, making voice calls or tracking your next workout, Jabra has what you need - and the Elite Sport has what it takes to help you triumph.
Jabra’s Elite Sport will be launching exclusively with Harvey Norman from December for RRP AUD $329.
