Each week, I can be found either working the back yard or taking my daughter out for a walk at the park. In times like these, music makes the work bearable or the walk more tranquil, so I always have it. The biggest nuisance with movement and headphones are the cables. They get in the way. Always.
It's bad enough to have a cable bouncing around, creating line noise while you're walking, but one small snag can and will pop an earbud out. Tired of it? Me too. So I sought after a set of wireless headphones that were easy to carry and convenient to use.
Design
Simple effective controls
The Jabra Sport Wireless+ is an on-ear headphone that also goes behind the ear. It's wireless, which is why you get to wear a little additional hardware.
Both pieces are attached by a cable that can be adjusted to fit snug behind your head. If you've never ditched wires before, it's definitely something to try out. Almost makes one wish all headsets were wireless!
The controls are minimal. You can adjust the volume, play/pause, and also catch FM radio waves. I was surprised at how well the FM radio picked up local signals. I didn't expect it to work so well. It's just too bad that terrestrial radio isn't equally as impressive.
The Micro USB cover to charge the Jabra Sport Wireless+ wasn't easy to open up. It lies flush to the point where a fingernail can't pop it open easy. It might be a good thing, since the cover is also thinly attached to the headphone. One wrong tug and it could rip right off.
Comfort
The fit of a set of headphones is a big deal. Most often it's more important than the actual sound quality itself, since if you hate having to wear it then the music doesn't really matter.
Eargels. which are labeled if you look close
Jabra Sport Wireless+ comes with an array of ear gels so you can pick the one that's best. I went with the smaller, basic egg-shaped form, since I know I can use them for at least a couple of hours without feeling discomfort. A couple of the gels focus sound toward the ear canal, but for the most part these are going to be on-ear headphones.
The fit of the…

Although both Samsung and LG have showcased and teased smartphones with flexible displays (the bendy screens) countless times each in recent years, I'd bet that even a majority of us paying attention had no chance of foreseeing the technology evolving so fast. Who could've thought curved touch displays would actually be fitted into commercial products by, like, 2020?
And yet here we are, faced with the world's first curved display…

It's late in the afternoon and your smartphone is dangerously close to hitting empty. You're waiting for an important phone call, hoping that the phone doesn't die first. As you look up, you happen to notice a few people idling near each other with corded gadgets in hand. A free charging kiosk! You rush over to quickly plug in, thinking only about the phone call and nothing about the potential security breach you just opened yourself up to.
