Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Excellent product for the price.
You get a lot of quality for the price you pay. Sennheiser is by far the best.
Pro Very good microphone and noise canceling
The microphone ranks among the best and features excellent noise canceling which does a great job at eliminating background noises.
Pro Great soundstage width
The open back design gives a feeling of width to the sound, which is great for movies and games. This effect is achieved without having to rely on virtual surround sound software techniques.
Pro Tight and punchy bass, meaty and warm mids as well as clear and airy highs
The GAME ONE has excellent sound quality and offers good balance between the different sound frequencies. The bass is tight and punchy instead of the overpowering and bloated low-end that most gaming headsets have.
Mids have good presence and fullness, so game dialogue should be easily heard. The highs are crisp and airy so a lot of detail can be enjoyed from games, yet the headset is not fatiguing to listen to, even with long gaming sessions.
Pro Comfortable to wear
Inside the ear pads, reasonably thick memory foam is used so they feel really soft. On the surface is high quality velour which not only feels really smooth but also allows for some airflow to the ears, minimizing heat build-up.
Pro HearThrough mode allows you to better hear your surroundings
In this mode, the mic picks up audio from your surroundings. You can hear sound from around you mixed in with your music.
Pro Can monitor fitness stats
There is an integrated heart rate monitor which can connect to Jabra's fitness companion app. This combination should make it very easy for you to see fitness related data.
Pro Balanced sound signature with clear highs, rich mids and controlled bass
The Elite Sport sounds quite balanced with no harshness or muddiness. The highs are clear and deliver good detail. Mids sound natural and rich, while the bass is tight and controlled instead of bloated. With these headphones, you will get decent punch from the usually bass-centric workout tracks, yet you will still be able to enjoy a refined sound when listening to more mellow or instrument focused music.
Pro Can be used during workouts or while raining
These resist sweat and other liquids as they are IP67 rated. They can be submerged in water without getting damaged as long as the water is not too deep and they are not submerged for a long time.
Pro Optional wing tips improve fit
You can attach wing tips to the earpieces, which allow for better in-ear fit for reduced chances of the earpieces falling off. The tips are quite soft so they will not have too much of a negative impact on comfort.
Pro Earpiece buttons allow playback/call control
Each earpiece has two buttons which you can use to control playback or to answer/end calls.
Pro Can easily be charged on the go
The charging case has an internal battery that can add up to 6 hours to the Elite Sport's battery life.
Pro Allows you to take calls
There are microphones integrated in the ear pieces so hands free calls are possible. Voice quality from the mic is actually pretty good.
Pro An extensive accessory pack is included
You get a charging case, 3 pairs of silicone ear tips in different sizes, 3 pairs of premium Comply ear tips in different sizes, 3 wing tips in different sizes as well as a charging cable.
Cons
Con Large mic has limited adjustment
The mic is quite large and while it can be bent further away from the face, its bulk means that it is still quite visible and can hit your head should you remove or put on the headset. Also, the mic can only swing up and is not removable or retractable, adding to the size of the headset.
Con Long cable is non-removable
Cable tangles can be a problem with this headset as the attached cable is non-removable and is also quite long.
Con Feels cheap
The headset feels a little flimsy and cheap due to the mostly plastic build materials.
Con Battery life is not very good
On average, you'll only be able to get around 3 hours of playback time from a full charge.
