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.
Pro Okay battery-life
You get a decent playback time of 5 hours from the InTone Wireless, and should be more than enough for your short runs.
Pro Magnetic in-line remote
You can easily control your music using the in-line remote. You can pause/play tracks, adjust volume as well as go to next or previous track. The in-line remote also has magnets, allowing you to mount the ear pieces to the remote to keep them in-place.
Pro Splash-resistant
These earphones won’t get damaged when splashed with liquid. These have an IPx2 rating, which makes them resistant to small splashes of liquid or sweat. Getting these drenched or submerging them may still cause damage though.
Pro Decent sound quality
The InTone Wireless delivers decent detail and okay mids. Vocals have good volume from these earphones, while you get okay levels of airiness and clarity from the treble and does not get harsh in any way. The bass is lacking though. You don’t get a lot of oomph from low-bass notes, so these are not the best earphones for bass lovers. Performance should be acceptable for general music use though.
Cons
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.
Con May be too bass-light for your taste
If you love punchy bass, then these earphones may not be the ones for you. Bass reproduction is fairly week and you probably won’t get a satisfying oomph from bass hits.
Con Bluetooth only
These earphones do not have wired connectivity, so you'll need to charge them once the battery is out before they can be used.
Con They fall off the ears easily
The earpieces do not fit well inside the ears. Also, there are no rubber or foam coverings on the earpieces; just bare plastic. When you sweat, the earpieces are more likely to fall off.
