JBL / Under Armour Sport Wireless Heart Rate Headphones Review

These wireless headphones are no joke. JBL teamed up with Under Armour to create an in-ear headphone system that not only delivers intense sound / bass but also tracks your heart rate. With UA Record™, you can view training analysis / analyze performance trends and hear on-demand heart rate updates thanks to a touch sensor. This wireless sound system has the best bluetooth connection we have ever tried and is ideal for running, cycling, rowing, Netflix and chilling or anything else you have in mind. Tested and approved by the team.

Final Thoughts

After using for a few weeks, I am still pretty impressed with these headphones. The bluetooth connects fast / easy and the sound is great for wireless headphones. The down side would be the battery life and the loud voice that tells you the battery is low. Overall, I approve these JBL Under Armour sport wireless heart rate headphones.
