Jabra Elite Sport review

If you want more than just cord-free music, the Elite Sport deliver in a way other wireless earbuds don't.

Consistent audio quality ; Plenty of fit options ; Impressive sweat and waterproofing ; 3-year warranty

Takes perseverance to find a perfect fit ; Fear of loss never goes away

The Elite Sport are a culmination product, in some respects, as Jabra has evolved its sport earbuds into a solid product that fits well and leaves the cords behind, but you pay a price for the result. At $250, they are expensive, especially when...

Jabra Elite Sport Review: Upgraded 2017 Version

The Jabra Elite Sport is one of my favourite true wireless earphones for exercise and for music. Built-in heart-rate monitor, 4.5 hour battery life, motivating bass, full mids, detailed highs, IP67 water rating.

I am very pleased with the upgraded Jabra Elite Sport, retaining the lovely audio signature that I fell in love with since the Jabra Sport Pulse, while offering sufficient battery life of 4.5 hours (plus 2 additional charges on the casing). Its...

Jabra Elite Sport wireless earbuds come with in-ear audio coaching with real-time feedback and has an advanced heart rate analysis with automatic fitness

Good audio performance ; Decent battery life ; Both earpods can work standalone ; Immersive real-time feedback ; Durable design ; Real-time coaching is effective

Earpods can fall out from case easily ; Bit Bulky ; Prolonged usage can be uncomfortable for ears ; Voice commands not always work ; No auto-pause when you remove earbuds ; No on-board storage

Jabra Elite Sport review

These aren't just the best wireless sports buds - they're the best wireless in-ears around right now

Fantastic connection ; Heartrate tracking genuinely useful ; Sound quality is decent

Battery life still only average ; Big buds won’t suit every ear

Superb sounding wireless in-ears with a fantastic connection and fitness boosting-features. The best around, for now

The clue is in the name: the Jabra Elite Sport Wireless headphones are a Bluetooth pair designed to use during sports and exercise. This in-ear pair will link up with your smartphone while you're out for a run to give you data on your heart rate and...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Solid BT connection, sound quality much better than reviewed

Picked up a set of the Jabra Elite Sport "true" BT headphones in place of Bragi's "The Dash" with which I had a tremendously miserable experience. (2 sets, both failed to power up the right unit after more than 6 hours of updating, resetting etc. of my...

Ease of use, range of fit accessories, solid bluetooth connectivity, water resistant

Slightly bulky, a little tricky to get fit correctly, Jabra app a little clunky

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Good product but overpriced

A good product if you are looking for something really wireless for sport activities and not only for that. Even if it is quite expensive I've been quite happy with it to justify the cost. Unfortunately my set had a technical issue. And here is where...

Compact, good charging system, good audio quality, good fitness app

Awful customer service

Work great until suddenly they don't - beware

The good: I think most people will find a good fit, sound quality is great for the class, don't fall out while running etc. Battery is great. Overall these are amazing except... The bad: Do some research and you will see the thousands of people that...

Give me back my Powerbeats 3!!!!!!

I was so excited to buy these and be cord free but after two weeks I'll be selling them and going back to my trusty Powerbeats 3's, $100 cheaper, 3 times the battery life and at least double the volume. For listening to music the max volume on the...

Consumer review (very.co.uk)

By far, the best ear buds I have owned!

So happy with this purchase. Ear buds are both comfortable and the sound quality is brilliant. Only giving 4 stars though as when listening to music with a bit more bass, it doesn't seem to give that oomfff others I have had on the last. Maybe I still...
