The box containing the Jabra earphones is compact, light and pleasing to the eye. The flap opening allows us to quickly discover the latest headphones from the Jabra brand. Inside, there are two lockers that allow easy storage and access to the headphones, protected by a second plastic cover. Several instructions for use, the micro-US cableB to charge the headphones and several sizes of plastic caps and shells are also found in the pack.

In-ear, the headphones hold better during exercise. But to be effective, they must be inserted. For people with sensitive ears it becomes almost painful. Especially since the hoop that goes around the ear and allows better support also becomes unpleasant after … about twenty minutes. And in twenty minutes, you don't lose a lot of calories. Yet a question of pure aesthetics, the Jabra Sport headphones are simple and elegant. The yellow stripes along the hoop make these headphones look pretty no matter what outfit you wear.

The sound is good but nothing more. Ideal for sports but not extraordinary for prolonged and daily listening. Thanks to the different sizes of plugs to adapt to your ears, there is little chance that you will be interrupted by sometimes untimely background noises. Jabra headphones are held by a cord to place at the back of your neck. On this cord you will also find a control button to adjust the sound and activate the Bluetooth before connecting it to your smartphone. Convenient and easy to use, you won't have a problem managing music even at full effort.

To use the Jabra Sport Pace headphones, you need to download Jabra Sport and Jabra services applicationsBy opening the application, you will have to inform, for a better monitoring of your physical activity, your gender, weight and height. You just have to start! In the menu, you can access your training, review your performance and practice a fitness Review.

Once decided and the Jabra Sport Paces installed in your ears, you can choose your activity: running, biking, walking, hiking, skiing, skateboarding, treadmills and walking. Each time, once the effort is finished, you have access to all of your sports performances. The duration, average heart rate, maximum heart rate, distance, but also average pace, as well as speed and calories burned. A map using the geolocation of your phone allows you to find the trace complete de your course, but also to know when you suffered the most. Easy to guess: these will be the times when your heart rate was highest. Several settings are possible depending on the information you want to appear after your workout. All data can also be viewed as detailed graphics. There may even be a voice that tells you when you get closer to your time or distance goal. She can also give you your average speed or your heart activity.

Even if you pretend otherwise, you're not going to be playing sports for five hours straight. Fortunately (for you), since the Jabra Pace headphones will not last as long. By fully charging them (allow two hours), you can use them for about four hours. If you were hoping to use them other than during your sport, you will be disappointed.

For the game Handsfree, it’s not the best of the best. Indeed, the microphone is powerful. So you don't have to shout to be heard. But there is an echo. For the user and his contact. If you need to call your partner to remind them to buy a baguette, you shouldn't be embarrassed. But if you like chatting while running or biking, the echo will probably annoy you very quickly.

Android and iOS and Bluetooth 4.1

The most: same follow-up for a more affordable price.

If the Pulse, big winner of the range, integrates an in-ear heart rate monitoring and the Coach, an accelerometer which allows an intuitive vocal coaching, the new model of wireless sport headphones from Jabra, the Pace, is the most accessible from the series. Its launch price is just under 100 euros, against 150 euros for the Coach and 200 euros for the Pulse.

What we liked : the simplicity of use and the multiple possibilities of the application.

What we didn't like the least : a correct but not extraordinary sound and a little too light autonomy.

The Jabra Sport Pace headphones offer a good alternative for athletes, just like its previous model, the Jabra Sport Pulse. Thanks to the different possibilities of the application and the good use of data, the Sport Paces will surely appeal to a good number of you. But you should not be too demanding on sound quality and autonomy.
