Built-in Heart Rate Monitor and App: The Smart Way to
Train
With a built-in intelligent app - Jabra
Sport Life - exercisers will get the most out of their Sport
Pulse Wireless earbuds, helping them plan, track and evaluate each
workout. It has never been so easy to test fitness levels and
aerobic capacity, adjust heart rate zone levels to optimize
training, and set goals based on distance, time or calories
burned.
"Jabra has a strong legacy of innovation in wearable technology
and Sport Pulse Wireless is no exception," said Darcy Clarkson, Senior Vice President at Jabra
Consumer Solutions. "These are world's first earbuds to have a
built-in heart rate monitor, heralding the next generation of
intelligent audio solutions for fitness fanatics that allows our
customers to work out with the confidence of medical
precision."
Premium Sound, Completely Wireless Workout
Music is a big part of many peoples' workouts, and the Sport
Pulse Wireless is designed to fire up exercisers by listening to
their favorite songs with a customizable sound experience and
powerful, purpose-built speakers that deliver world-class wireless
music performance. Personalised audio coaching provides feedback on
your workout every step of the way, enabling music and training to
be controlled from a single app.
As Tough as You Are
Encased in carbon fiber, Sport Pulse Wireless earbuds are built
to take a pounding and are sweat- and storm-proof, so there is no
excuse for missing a training session. Ergonomic Audio Response
Science™ technology ensures a secure, comfortable fit
that's lightweight in a compact design so nothing gets in the way
of exceeding training goals.
Track Workouts with Medical Accuracy
Jabra commissioned Campbell
University in North
Carolina to independently verify the performance of the
heart rate monitor technology for fitness and active usage. The
comprehensive trial included runners on a treadmill and
simultaneously tested Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless against a medical
electrocardiogram (ECG) machine. The results clearly showed an
extraordinary accuracy with a 99.2% correlation, proving the
advanced nature of Jabra's in-ear heart rate technology.
"Jabra has created a single device that can provide accurate
biometric information, both visually and audibly, within a piece of
equipment that most exercisers are wearing anyway and eliminate the
need for excess equipment," concluded Jennifer Bunn, PhD, Assistant Professor and
Director at Campbell University in the
Department of Exercise Science.
The Next Generation of Jabra's Sports Line
Sport Pulse Wireless earbuds continue Jabra's tradition of
global 'firsts,' building on a solid heritage of superior sound
engineering. The earbuds represent the next generation in Jabra's
family of wireless audio solutions for people who are serious about
exercising, complementing the award-winning Jabra Sport Rox
Wireless and Sport Wireless+ earbuds.
