Jabra Sport Bluetooth Headset video review

The Jabra Sport Bluetooth stereo headset free runners from the shackles of wires, but make a few compromises in the attempt. It's an impressive product, but as a standalone item it falls short when compared to dedicated sport headphones or some non-sporty Bluetooth headsets. As a combination handsfree sport headset, however, it does a great job. Read full review

Great review.

I have since bought this headset, and I can happily say that they are exactly what I was after - a wireless headset to use while running.

I think you covered all the relevant points minus 1 - they also feature smart phone integration. I use them with the Endomondo app, and I can now pause my workout remotely with a short press, and get workout updates with a long press of the headset button. It compromises full media player control - volume and skip track still work, but Pause is gone in favour of Endomondo control, only when the app is active though - but definitely worth it! I used to have to unlock my phone to do this, or have it in my pocket (not good).

Also they include an armband for your mobile/iPod which is a really nice feature for a £50 headset.

They are not for all-day use (3-hour playback), so I have wired headset for "quality" listening.

In fact my biggest gripe is I can often accidentally "Redial" on my phone instead of turning off the headset! This is very annoying! But also had this problem with other BT headsets.

Battery life is disappointing (3hours is fairly accurate), but that is how they can make it so light. Batteries are heavy.

Cheers,
Simon
