Jabra announces Sport Pulse Wireless stereo earbuds with integrated heart rate monitor

Jabra announces the Sport Pulse Wireless, the world’s first stereo earbuds with integrated heart rate monitor and Sport Life App. Who would have thought that Jabra will integrate heart rate monitoring on a earbud. It will be available in Singapore in October. At the moment, the RRP is USD199.

Actually, in my opinion, the price is quite steep for a earpiece that has this heart rate monitor. And I am thinking, if I already own a device with heart rate monitor, would I want another device with it? And can I turn off this heart rate monitoring to conserve battery?

Here is a close up of  the Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless.

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.
