One in four headphones worn in the gym today are on-ear models. They might deliver bass and block out the distractions, but they are not designed for sweating it out. JBL and Under Armour have teamed up to create the solution! UA Sport Wireless Train- Engineered by JBL, a durable, sweat-session-friendly headphone that gives high intensity interval trainers and athletes alike the on-ear design they love with fabrics and technology custom-engineered for the gym.

The UA Sport Wireless Train is equipped with premium design features and technologies for gym goers. The headphone is outfitted with UA materials that provide added grip so they stay secure as well as Under Armour’s proprietary SuperVent technology for breathability so athletes stay cool and dry. Built for rugged durability and sweat resistance, all materials and finishes withstand the most intense workouts and wear-and-tear from a gym bag.

“We took notice of market research that looked at what gym-goers look for the most in their workout headphone of choice, noticing there were limited options for an on-ear device that could withstand tough workouts,” said David Owens, Vice President, HARMAN. “The UA Sport Wireless Train is the answer for the everyday athlete, designed to merge the superior quality of JBL with a rough and rugged design from Under Armour, built to last during the toughest gym sessions.”

Need to stop to chat? No problem. Talking to other workout partners just got easier with UA Train’s innovative TalkThru Technology. At the touch of a button, music seamlessly fades out while three JBL microphones heighten the surrounding conversation, so there’s no need to take the headphones off to have a quick chat with a workout buddy or trainer between sets. With just one more touch on the TalkThru button, athletes can resume their playlist and get back in the zone for their next set.

The UA Sport Wireless Train headphone is also equipped with a Speed Charge Battery, allowing gym enthusiasts to juice up their headphone for an hour of playback time in just five minutes. When fully charged, the headphones have up to 16 hours of playtime. To top it off, the headphones are tuned with JBL Charged Sound, a sport-optimized signature sound with amplified bass to help crush any workout.

“The newest addition to the Under Armour and JBL sport headphone line-up combines each of our brands’ unique strengths to build a one-of-a-kind product that solves real athlete pain points,” said Jim Mollica, Senior Vice President of Digital at Under Armour. “The UA Sport Wireless Train headphone’s design provides the ruggedness, security, and fast drying technology that athletes expect while providing the sound pumping motivation and focus they desire from an on-ear headphone.”
