My Sports Equipment Show One: Real-time heart rate monitoring, Jabra Sport Pulse smart wireless sports headset experience

Foreword

Recently, I was looking for a wireless sports headset for running, crawled a lot of text, and finally experienced the venom of the Jabra Sport Pulse smart wireless sports headset. The earliest attraction of this headset is undoubtedly real-time. Heart rate monitoring function, and learned from the light years of God's article, after comparing the traditional heart rate belt found that the headset heart rate monitoring accuracy is higher, the overall evaluation is also good, and finally locked this.


Using the introduction of Zhang Ama's product encyclopedia: The Jabra Sport Pulse Bluetooth headset is a sports headset with heart rate detection released by Jabra in August 2014. It integrates a three-axis accelerometer and a heart rate meter, including three axes. Used to monitor movement status. It is worth mentioning that heart rate monitoring is not using optical heart rate sensors that are common in recent wearable devices. Instead, the PerformTek biometric heart rate sensor is used. Since the ear is thinner than the wrist skin, exercise China is also more stable than the wrist, so the accuracy is better. The official said that the technology can achieve 98.2% accuracy compared with professional medical equipment.

Out of the box

A few years ago, I started to use a Jabra Bluetooth headset, but after so many years, the yellow and black color packaging style remains unchanged.

The box uses a book-based design with a magnetic lid on top and a Jabra Sport Life APP after opening. As a companion software for this headset, the details will be detailed later.

In addition to the headphone body, four sets of earplugs and earloops of different sizes were included. One set of earbuds and earloops was pre-installed. I took a picture and removed it, plus four clips and a USB charging cable.

The left and right channels of the headphone are connected by wires, which can be hung around the neck when not in use. This is obviously not easily lost compared to the Apple AirPods.

Earplugs and earhook are silicone, texture is relatively soft, although I personally used to sponge earbuds, but can not avoid running sweating, so there is no standard sponge earbuds is understandable, it seems that I have to adapt to silicone earbuds.

A button on the left channel of the headset can be used to activate the Jabra Sport Life APP. Press and hold for one second to activate the exercise function in the APP. Press during the workout to listen to real-time sports data broadcasts.

The heart rate monitor is where the raised piece can be seen after removing the earhook.

The earphone shell is composed of two materials. The part where the LOGO is printed is a rubber material. It is easy to pick up dust, but it is clean with a damp cloth, while other parts should be made of ABS. The surface uses a high-gloss injection molding process.

The earphone on the right channel ear tag has a USB logo on it. That's right. After you remove the ear hook, you can see a Micro USB connector. The headset is charged and the PC is updated to update the firmware.

There is also a small LED light on the USB interface pair. Different colors are used to indicate the different status of the work. For example, the charge is red, yellow is displayed when the charge is half the charge, green is full when the charge is full, and blue is blinking when paired. Wait.

The wire control is hung under the right-channel headphone. The LOGO side is printed with a high-gloss injection molding process. There is an NFC module inside the wire control. However, my mobile phone does not support NFC, so it cannot be tested here.

The other side is rubber material, the three buttons are the volume increase and decrease and the middle multi-function button, the headphone switch, answer/hang-up call, redial, reject the call, and jump to the next time when listening to the song, etc. can be used This line control is done. It is worth mentioning that the wire-controlled seal is in place and sweat should not penetrate into the interior.

A close-up of the appearance of several earphones, the first shot of the headset, not look good, please bear with me.

Then talk about this unremarkable clip, the original line feeling is still a bit long, running will flash, with a clip to adjust the length just fine.

You can also clip it.

The following clip method is my favorite. Do not underestimate the clip. After using it, not only will the thread be trimmed to a suitable length, but it will feel even the stethoscope effect is reduced.

The hard shell bag that comes with the headphones is also a typical yellow-black color matching style.

Inside the bag is a velvet, and just fitting the headphones is a bit loose.

Larger than a pack of paper towels, barely able to put in your pocket.


Jabra Sport Life APP

If you do not install Jabra Sport Life's APP, Sport Pulse can only be used as a general Bluetooth headset, such as heart rate monitoring and other functions can not be achieved, find the APP download address from the official website, Apple users do not have to say However, it is Android's trouble. In view of why we all know, we can't access the Google App Store. Although we can also search for this application in other third-party application stores, we have to worry about these before we eat. Third-party app stores will "feed."

After research, it was found that websites can directly download the APP after downloading the links from the Google Store. Share URL

Download software to install these is no problem, the first start APP has a setup wizard, just like many sports bracelets, the first time you need to enter gender, height, weight and age, and other information.

Next select the model of the headset and the guide will teach you how to connect the headset.

After connecting, you will be taught how to wear headphones and simple methods of use. In general, the guide is more intuitive, the instructions are not read, and it is good to follow the guide.

Enter Jabra Sport Life's main interface, displaying the remaining power, GPS signals, real-time heart rate, and more. After pressing “Start”, you can enjoy running. You can view the real-time heart rate and running duration via the mobile phone screen. The signal is normal and you can also see the trajectory and the distance of movement on the map. If you do not want to pull out your phone while you are running, press the button on the left earphone while you run, you will also have real-time information broadcast, including duration, distance, heart rate, pace, and so on. When broadcasting, background music Will automatically become very small, broadcast back to normal volume.

After you press "Stop", a summary report of this exercise will be generated. Then you can share it with friends circle to show off.

Looked at some of the early evaluation of this headset has mentioned that the Google Maps for Android client can not be displayed, and now the new version is replaced by Baidu map can be displayed normally, you can also select the satellite map, you can see the running at that time through different colors status.

Heart rate, pace, and so on are drawn into a chart that looks more intuitive.

In addition to the daily exercise, there are a series of fitness tests. After testing, you can basically understand your own state and the effect of continuous exercise.

In addition, exercise plans and goals can be formulated daily, more targeted than blind movements.

Firmware upgrade

When the headset first came into use, Jabra Sport Life first suggested that the new firmware could be updated. After entering, a website was opened. From there, the firmware can be downloaded directly. There are five languages ​​available.

After the firmware is downloaded, it needs to be upgraded on the computer. After connecting the headset with the USB cable, open the software. When the headset is reached, it will be 3.8.0 and it will be upgraded to version 4.1.2.

The entire upgrade process lasts for about 3 minutes, automatic, after the upgrade point "complete" and unplug the headset, then need to re-pair with the phone. After saying that all voice prompts have been changed to Chinese after upgrading the firmware, other changes have not been noticed for the time being.


Some details on the headset summary

About heart rate monitoring:

After the Jabra Sport Life is turned on, the heart rate monitoring displayed in the APP is refreshing every second. Picking off the headset for about 2 seconds will prompt you to not detect the heart rate. You will need to readjust the earphone, and once again, the heart rate will be detected again after about 2 seconds. . From the current experience, the heart rate monitoring function is much better than the original millet bracelet light version I used to know, millet bracelet light version to monitor the heart rate but also to stop and maintain a posture to give heart rate data, So focus on the heart rate function, or choose a bar with real-time heart rate monitoring.

Battery life:

Fully charged If you only listen to music, you can hold it for 5 hours. If you turn on the Jabra Sport Life and monitor your heart rate, the battery life will drop to about 4 hours, but it is enough for a day's exercise. Charging, use millet phone 2A charger, 45 minutes from red light to yellow light, then the battery shows the remaining 2 hours, and then charge for about 30 minutes to show full, the overall charge time is about 75 minutes.

About IP55 waterproof sweat:

This headset meets the IP55 protection standard. From Baidu's understanding of the definition of IP55, it seems that preventing everyday sweat and running in the rain is not a big problem. The specific anti-sweat and waterproof effect still needs time to verify.

About wearing:

The four sets of earplugs and earhook included are basically enough to use. When you wear them, you don't need to deliberately go to meet the heart rate detector. How to wear it is comfortable. In addition, though the earphone doesn't feel very deep, it must be shaken off. It's not easy, so there's no problem even with strenuous exercise.

About sound quality:

As a sports headset, the sound quality is not the focus, but in the end it must be mentioned that the subjective feeling is high-frequency and bright, the intermediate frequency is relatively flat, there is not much retouching, and the low-frequency aspect is slightly insufficient, so it will not have a sense of boom. It is more appropriate to wear for a long time while running, and it feels that the adjustment of the sound conforms to the product positioning.
