(Running)-Review:Jabra Sport Wireless+

I got the chance to review Jabra Bluetooth earphone. This is my first purchase of earphone Bluetooth. 

Before this, I bought corded earphone, but I faced common problems; there will be problem at the cord after few times usage. So, I decided to invest plenty of money on a new Bluetooth earphone. But does it worth my penny? Let’s read the review.

Unboxing

Jabra Sport Wireless+ Bluetooth Earphone come with earbuds. There are few size that could be tried. You may try any type of earbuds that fit with your ears.

Also, it comes with free subscription of premium account of Endomondo for 3 months. There will be special code included in the box, which would be essential when the user redeem for the premium account.

Enter the coupon in the activation of special coupon section in Endomondo, and voila you may enjoy free Endomondo premium sccount for 3 months. You may have to pay for the subscription after the promotion period.

There would be an armband equipped in the box. However, it is so small that your phablet might not fit into it.

Features

Since it is a Bluetooth earphone, it connected with devices such as smartphones and laptop via Bluetooth connection. There is volume button for the users to manipulate current volume of the sound. To jump from one song to another, just hold the volume button for about 3 seconds.

To connect you device with the earphone, switch on the earphone by pressing the multi button at the right side of the earphone. Let your device has the Bluetooth switched on. Discover Jabra Sport Wireless+ on your device. After your phone discover it, connect it with the earphone. Wear the earphone, and follow the following instructions that would be communicated through the earphone.

There is also FM Radio feature equipped. However, I personally rare used this feature, as my earphone cannot receive the signal from radio perfectly. There would be unclear voices heard through the earpieces.

The earphone is claimed to be waterproof and sweat proof.

Real-life test

The earphone can play music continuously for about 2 and half hours for every single full charge. Mathematically speaking, it may be suitable for runners who participate in Half Marathon who run with pace average 7 minutes per kilometre. However, it might not be suitable used in Full Marathon event, by taking into consideration that fast runners will completed the run by 3 and half hours.

Sometimes, the earphone cannot receive the signal from the main device accordingly. Therefore, you should turn off the earphone, switch it on again, and retry to connect it again with the device.

Comment

I bought this device from Lazada for about RM245. Such a high price for a piece of earphone.

So far it works perfectly. I am not expertise in commenting about the bass and other aspect regarding the sound projected from the earphone, so I am not going to comment about it.

However, one day the device cannot be switched on. I am highly certain that it is due to the battery is not malfunctioning. I used it the device for less than one year, only about 10 months.

Currently, I am not using the device. I am looking forward to repair it. But due to tight budget, I might deferred it in the future.

Buying the Bluetooth can be a high risk decision. If you are high risk taker, plus you have surplus of money to be spent, and you might take steps to take care of the earphone, you might decide to buy one. However, if you are a risk averse, you might decide to look for alternatives at the market, such as cheap Bluetooth earphones, or corded earphones. Remember that cheap goods do not mean they don’t have high quality, and expensive items are long lasting.
