Jabra Elite Sport Wireless Headbuds with Heart Rate Monitoring, Activity Tracking
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Jabra-sport.jpg
Jabra, the big name in headphones and headsets, is releasing a pair of wireless earbuds that continuously measure the user’s heart rate. Designed for athletes, the Jabra Elite Sport are essentially an advanced activity tracker, earbuds, and a Bluetooth communication device all in one.
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Jabra-Elite-Sport.jpgThe heart rate tracking tech**logy is called PerformTek (http://valencell.com/tech**logy/), and was developed by Valencell, a company out of Raleigh, **rth Carolina. It uses an optical emitter and detector to **tice tiny changes in the reflected light as blood moves through the capillaries of the ear.
Having a built-in tri-axis accelerometer, the device can even count your push-ups and sit-ups and the accompanying Jabra Sport Life app can act like a coach that talks to you through exercise routines. You can even take calls without stopping what you’re doing, as there’s a microphone built in and buttons to pick up or hang up.
The company promises they’ll stay safely put inside the ear and will run for about three hours at a time, which means a lot of people can run a marathon without having to recharge. It does come with a battery you can take along with you that can be used to recharge the earbuds for a**ther two three hour sets.
A**ther advantage is that these buds are water proof down to one meter (3 feet) , so maybe you can even swim with them, and they’re guaranteed to **t be damaged by your sweat.
While we haven’t tried these yet, and they’re still on pre-order, we’re certainly curious if they really solve the problem of measuring the heart beat while the user is exercising, something that wrist-worn heartbeat trackers seem to suffer from universally.
Here’s a Jabra promo video introducing the Elite Sport:
