October, 2016 – Jabra
extends its range of wireless sports headphones and continues to innovate in
the sports audio sector with the launch of two new Special Editions. Just like
the existing line-up of Jabra sports headphones (Jabra Sport Pulse, Jabra Sport
Coach and Jabra Sport Pace), the new editions offer quality calls, music for
motivation and intelligent in-ear coaching to help enhance your training
effectiveness, whether you’re an experienced runner or just getting active. In
addition, these next generation versions deliver innovation in all areas, with
passive noise cancellation, a broader choice of fitting options, improved
durability and world-first intelligent sports features for fitness enthusiasts
of all standards.

Jabra
Sport Pulse, launched in September 2014, brought in-ear biometric heart rate
monitoring to sports headphones for the first time. Two years later, the
Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition takes another innovative step by using the
in-ear heart rate monitor (together with the Jabra Sports Life app) to
constantly calculate your VO2 Max level – a globally
recognized and established test of aerobic fitness – and automatically measure
your fitness level.

Whether
a seasoned athlete or just trying to get fitter, the personalized VO2 Max
data generated by the Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition allows you to track
your fitness development and get the most out of your workout. It uses
intelligent in-ear coaching to provide real-time feedback based on your heart
rate and fitness level. When you’ve finished your run, the Jabra Sport Life app
provides a range of information to help you improve your fitness level in the
future, including distance covered, pace, route, calories burnt and training
effect.

The Jabra
Sport Coach Special Edition is the world’s first sports headphone to feature
automatic repetition counting through the TrackFit™ motion sensor. With in-ear coaching, they give
you the freedom to plan, track and concentrate on your workout.

Developed
to help you make the most of your time at the gym, the Jabra Sport Coach
Special Edition works in combination with the Jabra Sport Life app. The
TrackFit™ motion sensor detects your movement and the app counts and
logs your repetitions, and advises when to move on to the next exercise. From
launch the app will be able to automatically count ten of the most commonly
performed exercises, including push-ups, lunges and burpees, with updates to
the app increasing the number of new exercises available over time.

No matter what conditions you train in, or
how hard you train, both new Special Editions work just as hard. In
addition to a choice of different sized ear gels and ear wings, the headphones
now come with COMPLY® Foam Tips as standard, keeping the
earbuds securely locked in-place throughout your workout. They also provide
improved sound quality for calls and music, with passive noise cancellation and
enhanced bass.

Both
Jabra Sport Pulse and Jabra Sport Coach Special Editions offer certified dust
and water resistance (to IP55 standard) and are tested to US military standards
against wind, rain, sweat and shock impact. Reinforced by a three-year extended
warranty against sweat*, you can be confident that both sets of headphones will
perform, no matter how challenging your workout.

Together
with the existing Jabra Sport Pulse and Jabra Sport Coach, and the recently
launched Jabra Sport Pace, the Special Editions reinforce the position of Jabra
as a leading expert in intelligent sound solutions, particularly for those with
an active lifestyle. As part of the GN group, pioneers in sound from sports
headphones to hearing aids, Jabra continues to offer superior sound engineering
and unrivalled expertise.

René
Svendsen-Tune, CEO at Jabra says: “We have made great strides with our sports
headphones over the last two years. And from a strong start I’m really excited
that Jabra can now deliver next generation sports headphones with better sound,
more options for a perfect fit and a host of world-first sports features. Jabra
Sport Coach and Pulse Special Editions are evidence of our commitment to lead
in the field of intelligent sound solutions”.
