【Female Hostel 3】

BERLIN -- How much tech can Female Hostel 3you stuff into tiny, wireless earbuds? Turns out, quite a lot. At the Showstoppers event that's accompanying the IFA show in Berlin, Jabra announced the Elite Sport, a pair of wireless earbuds that can also monitor your heart rate.

The data is transferred to Jabra's smartphone app, which is available for both Android and iOS, but a Jabra rep tells me it can also be used with other sport-tracking apps.

The buds are quite big for earbuds but they fit in my ear well; each one comes with two hardware buttons, for controlling the volume and answering calls (yes, there are built-in mics in both buds).

The smartest thing about these buds, however, is the fact that their case also doubles as a portable battery and a charger (which is in turn charged via a micro USB cable). On their own, these earbuds will work for up to three hours of music and calls, but place them in the case and you'll get an additional 6 hours of operation.

The earbuds are waterproof and dustproof to IP67 specifications; Jabra also offers a three-year warranty against sweat damage.

The Jabra Elite Sport earbuds cost $249 and are currently available for pre-order, with shipping beginning October 2016.
