New Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds with integrated biometric heart rate monitor and Sport Life App drives performance to new levels
AUSTRALIA, Sydney – 27th August 2014: Jabra is helping users take training to the next level and get the ultimate wireless workout with new Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds and unique Sport Life Application. This intelligent, all-in-one training solution combines an in-ear biometric heart rate monitor, immersive Dolby Digital Plus sound and real-time, personalised voice coaching, inspiring people to achieve their best possible training results. With one touch, users can change music, answer and end calls or hear their personalised audio fitness coach.
Take your training to the next level using heart rate biometrics
Jabra’s intelligent Sport Life App ensures you get the most out of your Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds with a precision biometric in-ear heart rate monitor, helping users to plan, track and evaluate their workout. Users can test their fitness level and aerobic capacity, adjust heart-rate zone training levels to optimise training, and set goals based on distance, time or calories burned.
Personalised audio coaching provides feedback on the workout every step of the way, allowing users to control their music and training within a single app, and providing a clear view of their goals and how close they come to meeting them with each session.
“As a health-conscious society, Australians have quickly grown to see the value in wearable fitness devices, with more than one-third of the population already using wearable technology.* The challenge users have faced up to now is that they haven’t had an all-in-one wireless product with an integrated fitness application which is as intelligent as the Jabra Sport Life App,” said Karen Powell, Sales Director for Jabra Consumer Solutions, A/NZ.
“The Jabra SPORT PULSE wireless offers the fitness consumers a solution that is so much more than they’ve ever had before. You can hear more, do more and ultimately be more, because of its unique combination of earbuds integrated with the intelligent Sport Life App and Jabra Sound App technology.”
Free your workout with premium wireless sound and comfortable, secure fit
Users can get fired up for exercise by listening to their favourite songs the way they want to hear them with a customisable sound experience and powerful, purpose-built speakers that deliver world-class wireless music performance. Integrated with the product, the Jabra Sound app is a music player that gives users the full Dolby Digital sound experience. The app can be used to create playlists, share music and adjust the graphic equaliser so users can play tracks as they want to hear them. This includes full-spectrum sound to YouTube videos.
The Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds use Ergonomic Audio Response ScienceTM technology to ensure an ultra-secure, comfortable fit which is lightweight and compact. Once inserted into the ears, the earbuds “lock” into place so they can’t fall out when users are exercising.
Focus on your workout without distraction
Cased in robust Kevlar and carbon fibre, Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds are built to take a pounding, built to US military weather and shock standards. They’re sweat- and storm-proof, so users can train outdoors in any conditions.
Already using a fitness app? No problem!
The Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless is compatible with several existing third-party fitness apps, so users won’t lose their history if they already use running applications such as Endomondo. The Jabra Sport Life App takes data direct from several popular fitness applications and integrates it with its unique, intelligent design.
Users can choose from a range of training programs and workout features with the Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds, including:
Simple connection, lots of devices
Jabra SPORT PULSE Wireless earbuds connect to all Bluetooth-ready devices, use NFC for easy pairing with up to eight devices – including two at the same time for multi-use - and provide up to 4.5 hours of talk time/music time. The product comes with four different sets of eargels and three sets of earwings for the perfect comfort and fit.
Track your workouts with medical accuracy
Jabra commissioned Campbell University in North Carolina, USA 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 the Jabra 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 already wearing, thereby eliminating the need for excess equipment,” concluded Jennifer Bunn, PhD, Assistant Professor and Director at Campbell University in the Department of Exercise Science.
