Jabra has released their latest wireless
sport headphone and since it is Jabra that means there is some sort of cool
trick aside from delivering Dolby sound without the troublesome cable. The
Sport Pulse was designed to include an integrated heart rate monitor that
incorporates with the Jabra Sports app to track your work out. The tracking
included in the app consists of VO2 max, resting heart rate, and an Orthostatic
heart rate test to prevent overtraining along with. Let's see if these buds are
a must a must have workout out accessory or fall flat on its face. Like previous Jabra reviews, it is fast
and easy to get synced and going and from there the phone went in the pocket
and the ear buds stayed in place. The sound quality was great, with deep bass
and clear highs and for those who like to fine tune the levels of playback, the
Jabra Sound app allows for customized listening. However, the Jabra Sports app
is the main reason I preferred these to other wireless buds as not only does it
track your pulse but it also provides audio coaching for planning workouts and
analyzing precious sessions. I did have one complaint during use and that was
with the battery life, they last roughly six hours on a full charge and so the were
best used only for working out as they won't run a full workday with
recharging.These ear buds are minimal while still
packing a punch, proving that they aren't just a one trick pony but a multi
purpose unobtrusive device that I found to work beautifully as long as you
remember to charge every couple of days. They fit snug and comfortably as not
once did they feel like they were going to fall out, saving valuable time
fidgeting with my ear buds while trying to focus on my fitness. The heart rate
monitor is yet another feature in which I didn't know I needed and the lack of
cord saves valuable space and the inline remote prevents needing to access my
phone. The Jabra Sport Pulse ear buds are available now for $199.99.

Divoom releases the Airbeat-10, a compact speaker chock full of mounts
Divoom has provided us with another Bluetooth
speaker to check out, this time around we have received the Airbeat-10. This
speaker brings to the table such features as being splash proof, offers multi
purpose mounts, and packs six hours of juice in a small package. By
multipurpose, Divoom makes it possible to use suction cup mount in the bathroom
or a bike mount to listen while riding. Now that the speaker has been fixed to
my bathroom wall for a week, let's see how it did.
The Airbeat-10 holds it's own for a small
single driver speaker, but the small stature makes the speaker very
inconspicuous. The is a great speaker for the bathroom or bicycle as it is big
enough to be heard over the shower or the breeze but small enough to still be
inconspicuous. The included mounts are great as a number of Bluetooth even
speakers out there charge extra for additional accessories. It is also durable
and splash proof so there is no worries about dropping or getting wet, you know
as long as you don't submerge it jumping your bicycle into a pool or large body
of water.
Being both small and affordable, the
Divoom Airbeat-10 is a solid investment for someone that is looking for more
sound from your phone whether getting ready for work or an exciting night out
or just taking a leisurely bike ride. This may not be the best wireless speaker
for filling large rooms but it is perfect to take on the go, travel, and/or
shower with. Divot’s Airbeat-10 is available now in red, white, blue,
or black and is available to purchase now through online retailers.
