Catch every call while you're exercising with these waterproof Jabra Elite Sport earbuds. These wireless earpieces have three hours of battery time and an additional six hours when topped up with the included charging case. These Jabra Elite Sport earbuds have an in-ear heart rate monitor and an integrated app for fitness analysis and coaching.

I originally bought the Skybuds, but was extremely disappointed. The sound quality is good, and overall the Skybuds look good, but the max volume was so low.
These headphones, however, are amazing. So far, they are comfortable to wear, the sound is great, and the firmware update was extremely easy and fast. I actually think I like it even better than my Powerbeats 2.
Highly recommended.
My Best Buy number: 235315503
I would recommend this to a friend!

Power your Apple iPhone 5 or 5s on the go with this ultrathin mophie juice pack helium 39368BBR charging case that features a rechargeable 1500 mAh battery. Polycarbonate and ABS materials provide protection against damage.

I bought this case because it is the first battery case for the iPhone 5 that is available (from a reputable maker at least). The case is beautiful, as far as battery cases go, and actually doesn't weight that much. The iPhone 5 in this case weighs roughly the same as the iPhone 5 in the Otterbox defender (183g versus 179g), but looks a lot slimmer than the Otterbox.
I've been using this case for about 5 days now, and so I am pleased with the overall performance. It does increase the juice by about 80%. It's also nice that the adapter was changed over to the micro-USB. This makes charging much easier. I really like the Lightning port, but my house gadgets are mostly micro-USB based, so this makes it much more convenient.
What I DON'T like about the case:
- there is no pass-through syncing. If you are using the case, you have to sync with iTunes wirelessly. This is a terrible idea. Other cases that are coming up (Lenmar and uNu) can pass through sync, meaning you can connect through the micro-USB/USB cable to sync with iTunes.

- the case battery is only 1500 mAh. I'm sure Mophie does this for the slim factor. However, they are coming about with the 1700 mAh Air battery case in a couple of weeks. I doubt the 1700mAh will be all that much thicker. So, it just seems like a scheme for people desperate for a battery case to rush out to get the Helium, only to have to consider getting yet another case a few weeks later.
What's great about it: The first battery case out there for the iPhone 5!; very quick charging time; looks great.
What's not so great: Only 1500 mAh, no pass-through syncing

Follow up - discolorations (TWICE)
March 19, 2013
This is a follow up to the original review.
While I had no problems with the case, after a week of use or so, there were brownish/greenish discolorations all over the case. I brought the case back to exchange for another one, only to have the same thing happen to me.
I have since returned this case, and bought the Mophie Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 5. This case costs $20 extra, but is a much better case. This is now the case I would recommend.
