The Sport Pulse's earbuds are encased in carbon fiber and are connected by a black wire that sits behind the wearer's neck. The buds can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth. They feature a microphone and a controller that can be used to play or pause music, skip tracks, control volume and take phone calls.
The headphones use Micro USB for charging; once charged, they offer 5 hours of active talk and listen time and 240 hours of standby time.
