Jabra SPORT

“I like my equipment to work as hard as I do” – Craig Alexander

Exercise is about freedom, about
pushing limits and enjoying doing
it.

With the Jabra SPORT Bluetooth®
stereo headset it’s easy to do both – and without the hassle of headset wires that slow you down. You simply stream music and calls
to it via Bluetooth.

Jabra SPORT-CORDED

“It has the durability that outlasts
even me in my training sessions”
– Craig Alexander

The Jabra SPORT-CORDED is made
to give you the comfort you need to be able to listen to your music or talk on your phone while you walk, jog or run at your own speed.

The Jabra SPORT-CORDED is ultra
light and easy to wear.

Jabra ACTIVE

“It’s a great little companion for
active people” – Craig Alexander

With Jabra ACTIVE, athletes and
active users will be able to listen
to music and train hard without
worrying about adjusting their ear
buds.

Ergonomically designed for sports,
the ear buds “lock” securely and
comfortably into the ear so
they won’t fall out.
