JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless Heart Rate review

In-ear buds that'll take your pulse - but can they keep pace?

Sound great (in the right position) ; Fully secure, even during exercise ; Heart rate readings are accurate

Can be painful after long periods ; Difficult to position correctly ; Earbud sizes don’t suit all ears

Proper fitness ‘phones that track your heart and sound superb - but are too much of a faff to use

JBL Under Armour Headphones Wireless review

The JBL Under Armour Headphones Wireless have a good fit but their durability let them down

The sound quality is very good for fitness headphones, but this still doesn’t quite justify the price. Nowadays, if you want headphones specifically for running, you can pick up the heart-rate sensing Jabra Sport Pulse for around the same price , or...

JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless Train

The JBL Under Armour Sport Wireless Train headphones deliver bass-forward audio in a secure-fitting, exercise-focused on-ear design.

Powerful, bass-forward audio performance. Secure-fitting, sweat-resistant design. Includes detachable cable with remote control for passive listening.

IP rating isn't as high as many exercise-focused audio products.

Sonically, JBL's Under Armour Sport Wireless Train headphones deliver a strong listening experience, with powerful bass depth that will appeal to those who enjoy working out to a little extra low-frequency push. And from a design perspective, there...

Under Armour's new JBL sports headphone flashes to keep runners safer

The new neckband-style UA Sport Wireless Sport Flex has a built-in LED with three flashing modes for night running -- or walking.

The UA Sport Wireless Flex by JBL is a well-designed neckband-style Bluetooth sports headphone. It's sweat-resistant, fits comfortable and securely and sounds good for the breed. The buds adhere magnetically and there's an LED light strip built into...

It's a bit too expensive. Under Armour and JBL should throw in a set of larger eartips to ensure more people can get a tight seal.

While it costs more than competitors, the UA Sport Wireless Flex by JBL fits well, sounds good and should please runners and players of other sports, especially if they exercise at night.

JBL UA Headphones Wireless

The JBL UA Wireless headphones deliver massive amounts of bass in a gym-friendly Bluetooth design.

Intense bass response balanced out with crisp highs. Secure, sweat-resistant design.

Not for those seeking an accurate listening experience.

Most exercise-focused earphones feature booming bass, but the JBL UA Wireless may take the cake. If you're looking for a gym-friendly Bluetooth pair with a bit more balance, you might have to adjust your definition of what balance is, but we like the...

UA Sport Flex wireless headphone review: Made for active music lovers

With an LED safety light, adjustable neckband, and enough sonic energy to pump up any workout, these JBL-designed, Under Armour-branded Bluetooth headphones are a smart exercise companion.

Flex zones allow you to loosen or tighten the headphones' neckband ; RunSafe blinking LED helps keep you safe during nighttime or low-light activities. ; Fast charging.

Magnetic ear bud feature doesn't work all that well. ; Neckband doesn't fit well with collared shirts. ; Ear tips might not create a good seal for every consumer.

I really enjoyed my time with the UA Sport Flex Wireless headphones. You might find smarter wireless headphones on the market, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more practical sports headphone. The neckband design with integrated flex zones worked...
