As a fitness and running enthusiast, I am privileged to get the chance to review some amazing products. Jabra contacted me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing their ultimate wireless Jabra Sport Wireless+ Headset. Knowing that I love all things fitness gear related… and when it comes to headsets… wireless!! I agreed.
I have reviewed some amazing headsets over the past few years. Many with wires, one that is also wireless, rubber ear buds customized for women, pretty colors and more! Each headset is unique to their particular brand. The Jabra Sport Wirelss+ headset has some unique characteristics that are new to me… and I am excited to share them with you!
Turn up your workout with Sport Wireless+
Ultimate wireless freedom
Exercise is about breaking free so don’t let wires hold you back. Skip tracks, control volume, take calls and switch FM radio wit ha quick tap of your headset.
World class wireless signal
Going wireless doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice sound quality. World class wireless technology gives you crisp and clear audio so wherever your wokout takes you, you will never miss a beat.
Built-in FM radio
If you want to leave your music device at home, your favorite FM radio station is just a click away. Simply tune and store the stations you love and enjoy your workout.
Locks in – Won’t fall out
This headset is designed to lock in so you can focus on your workout. A behind-the-ear shape and a choice of seven different eargels means whatever the intensity of your workout – you’ll get the perfect fit.
Overall I liked this headset. I found that it was easy to find a ear gel that fit my small ears. I was able to sync to my phone using Bluetooth effortlessly. As with all products, I had some pros and cons with my experience with this headset.
I decided to use my new headset on my 21 miler run. Silly, smart, or just plain stupid? Who knows. But I thought why not. I wanted to give it a true test run… and that I did.
Pros
The sound quality was excellent and it never lost a signal to my music, podcasts, or radio.
The headset did not fall out of my ears with all the fiddling and running I was doing.
Sturdy construction and build.
Comes with a 3 month premium subscription to Endomondo to keep you motivated on your fitness journey.
Cons
The over the ear piece was too big for my small ears… causing discomfort during my run.
The inner ear gel bud wasn’t properly fitted for my small ear canal and caused an ear ache hours after my run.
I couldn’t figure out how to tune my radio to stations that weren’t fuzzy. This was a learning curve that took a long time to figure out.
The headset only lasted 3.5 hours (fully charged). This meant for me (at my long run pace) the headset died on my at the very end of my run… confirming that I would not be able to run in it for any longer/time distance runs.
Overall I did like the headset, but will be running the LA Marathon using a different set of headphones that have proven itself to me. On the other hand, my husband has decided to take over my Jabra wireless sport headphones and LOVES them. Perhaps they fit his bigger manlier ears than mine? Or he was just excited to have his own set of wireless headphones too!

Great review! Is it Bluetooth? What is the ARV? I am dying for a Bluetooth headphones for the office so that when I get up to go to the printer I don’t have to take my earphones off.
