Something new - Good success!

I have the headset for some time now in the possession and use. Overall, I'm very happy with its features. The equipment is high-quality and has a good grip. The function of the heart rate measurement works and is interesting.

** Delivery **
Included with the headphones, a pouch for the headphones, USB cable and 2x4 essays for the ear plug is available. A bag for the cell phone or other device is not settled!

** Material Quality **
The headset is total quality. It was also paid to the use in sports. The headset keeps sweat stand and can also is not broken during training. For me it is very important that a device also comes with welding cope. As I move in the field of functional training is very important also for their sturdy design. Running stability of the cable between the ear plugs may not be particularly important. However, when training with sandbags or dumbbells, regardless of the cable can not always be taken. Also, it must not interfere here, what it does not. Positive is also the compact processing and low weight of 16g. From the workmanship and quality the device is mastered very well in any case.

** Maintenance, fit **
Especially important for headphones for the sport is maintenance. Because it can sometimes go wild, the headphones have to sit very firmly. Here there are different variants. The best known are the strap-variant and the in-ear version, which is also used here.

For a perfect fit, there are different attachments for the ear plugs. There are two different essays in four versions. An essay is located in the middle of the earrings and the other outer drum (hard to describe). These can be any combination set, will cope with different designs can be combined.

Around and in a nutshell, I am of the fit very enthusiastic. As an extreme maintenance is necessary for the measurement of the heart rate, this point should not be underestimated. Sits the ear plugs to loose is not possible to measure. However, everything fits so thumbs up.

** Functionality of heart rate measurement **
I think this point is interesting for most, because the Jabra Pulse distinguishes this property from other headphones. Direct to the start must be said: The measurement works.

Important for the measurement is the free app provided by Jabra. The price would be additional cost for the app a bit brash. Is optimized throughout the course (as unfortunately so often) for running or cycling. Here, however, the app offers a lot of nice features. Thus, a fitness test (resting heart rate) and also different workouts are carried out can be selected. The route will be logged via GPS. The app also many provisions for training can be set. These include, for example, interval training or various goals. The objectives include, among others, a predetermined time, distance or an average pulse. It can do a lot with the app definitely.

On the point of the calories I want to say a few words. This I personally (and many athletes) for manure. It's nice that there is a number is issued, but this is calculated theoretically. Because here, although the pulse and cadence and other factors may be internalized the value to be relatively close to reality. However, the most important effect is left out: The afterburn. Even though I have (after issue of the app) burned in a unit interval hardly calories, it looks in reality different. Through this type of training (aka HIIT) remains my circulation even hours after exercise active, which I consume more energy in the long term. However, there will be no report on training methods and efficiency here. Just a note to calculate the calories burned. This goes for not only this unit but also steppers, rowing machines, treadmills, etc ...

** ** Connection
Set up the connection is made extremely easy and fast. It is a small and brief guide which short and sweet addresses the installation (exactly to my taste). When connecting to the app I sometimes have problems after restarting the app, however, everything is stable and clean. During training, the connection to me has not yet been lost. The range is of course limited by the technology of Bluetooth. Through thick walls of this signal is not. It is merh it made to have the device in the vicinity. For example, on the arm.

While the headphones are firmly of the pulse is also continuously measured. This should be checked before training. If everything is correct, then in the App also the pulse is output. Is lost during the training of maintenance, so know the app out. It should be installed in any case the new firmware. Then this should not happen.

** Battery life **
For my use, the battery is sufficient. One to two workouts I can pull through without any major problems. For me it is no problem to charge the headset for unity. About the USB is also quite easy and possible nowadays everywhere. How long the charge time will I have not yet been observed, since I usually just stick on it during the day or even the post.

** ** App
I think under the "functionality of the heart rate measurement" I have already said enough about the app. Overall, I like the app. It is logical and is stable. For me it's never crashed. I myself you use App on Andorid.

The evaluations of the training sessions I find interesting and practical. There distance, cadence and different pulses are output. It also charts are used. Really well done. It would be nice still an export function of data to be able to work even so. However, this is not yet given.

I can also recommend any advance to install and easy to look at the app. It is free and thus a good overview of the functions to be created. It makes sense, it is not usable without the headphones of course.

** Is this thing worth the money? **
The price of the headphones is naturally high. What justifies that? I think an important point here is the novelty of the technology Produktsund heart rate monitoring on the ears. The research and marketing has to be paid here.

As the quality is high and the product is working, I would say from my side that the headset is worth the money. However, everyone must decide for himself whether he is willing to spend so much money. Whoever finds the function of the heart rate measurement interesting that I can give a "yes". Unlike most "fitness trackers" is not just about a cheap pedometer.
