Does heart rate from headphones work on 5+

Former Member over 7 years ago

I have a set of Bose soundsport pulse wireless headphones. They have a built in heart rate monitoring. Can I pair that with my Fenix 5+ instead of using a chest strap?

I got the Heart rate sensor in the Bose sound sport to connect finally. After already having the headphones connected, I waited a few minutes to make sure my heart rate was being detected by the headphones and then I went "add new" , then chose " search all". Do not choose the heart rate monitor option because I believe this looks only for a ANT+ signal. But it showed up under search all and connected fine. Ran yesterday and got full heart rate data.

I have my Jabra Elite Sport headphones connected right now, as a heart rate monitor and listening to music from my watch at the same time.

Can you use it as a heart rate monitor with your edge 820?

No, the 820 does not support BLE sensors.
