Sound Quality
The Sound quality is pretty average and nothing great. I could hear the audio clear and crisp without any ruffles, however, you will not find a powerful bass like the Bose but it is overall sound quality pretty decent.
This is one of the headphones that come with a cross training app, which means you can choose anything among the 50 exercises which can range anywhere from beginner to advanced.
This compatibility with the app helps you workout with a personalized in-ear audio coaching as you work out. This is one of the best features of the headphones and you can combine the training with your favorite music in order to feel motivated while working out.
The headphones even come with a track fit motion sensor that will record your distance, pace, steps, cadence, and calories burned. This sensor can give you detailed information about your progress and activity during a workout session.
The connectivity on these headphones was pretty good and I found that they were very easy to connect with the phone. There was no voice breaking while the audio was being played and the connectivity is strong enough to hold up even when I went to another room.
Comfort
The headphones come with different ear tip sizes and you can find your perfect size in them. The headphones were pretty comfortable and they stayed put in the ears even while running.
I would have preferred a better design for the earbuds as these tend to feel a bit odd while wearing.However, the overall feeling of wearing these headphones is okay and you should not have any problems that would stop you from using them.
The headphones are light, so that is a plus point. You do not feel like you are wearing anything and that makes working out with them an amazing experience.
Durability
The headphones are sweat proof and waterproof which means you can use them in any weather conditions. The headphones come with an IPX5 rating which means they can be used in the rains and even if you splash water on them, the headphone would remain unaffected.
The headphones come with a dust bag and if you maintain these headphones, these can last really long.
Most of the users have complained about them having issues with the way the headphones work while they got them so make sure you check for any manufacturing defect once you get the headphones delivered.
Battery life
The battery life on these headphones is going to last about 5 hours. This is a pretty average battery life and to be honest, you can say it is less than average. Usually, an average battery life of a Bluetooth headphone is 6 hours.
The battery life could be improved but the fact that you do get a life of 5 hours is not bad and you can easily use ti for your workout sessions and listen to music on the way back home as well.
These headphones are pretty easy to carry around and with the battery life, you do have a few more hours of music on them after your workout sessions.
Since these are waterproof I even wear them while doing some chores in the house. These headphones can be used for other tasks as well so you do not have to just limit them to your gym.
Conclusion
The Jabra Sports Pace is definitely a unique headphone that comes with an app that gives you in-the-moment, personalized in-ear audio coaching as you work out.
