Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Headset Review - Value and Conclusion

One area that is booming in the consumer electronic field is health and fitness wearables. For the last year or so we have watched multiple new products hit the market as this particular vertical tries to find an identity.  One of the items that we have been able to take a deeper look at in the lab is the Jabra Sport Pulse Bluetooth headphones. These are interesting because in addition to being headphones they can also take your pulse and track progress through different workouts. Let’s take a look and see if these stand out from the crowd or if they are just another device in the sea of also rans.

Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item.
The Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless headphones will put a $200 dent in your wallet. This would be a big deal if the Sport Pulse were just headphones. Fortunately they are not and include the heart rate monitor and software to help you track your workout and fitness. Some of the other features only add value to the Sport Pulse.

Conclusion -
We found the Jabra Sport Pulse to be a great fitness tool. When you look at the most successful fitness applications you will see that they are ones that provide goals, tracking and also encouragement. This is exactly what you get from the Sport Pulse. You can track your pace, distance, heart rate, time calories… you get the picture. There are some things that I would like to see Jabra add into their sport app like food intake, but that is not a deal breaker. The Jabra Sound app was not as good as we had hoped and really takes a little more work than we normally like to get anything out of it. Still since the headphones sound very good without that app there is not much lost here. The Jabra Sport Pulse is a great fitness accessory for anyone that is interested in getting back into or to stay in shape. We certainly recommend it and will be adding it into our fitness routine.

For the combination of quality, features and performance we are awarding the Jabra Sport Pulse our Silver Key Award.
