I must say how very impressed I was, with this little device, and having used it for over two years now, I have had no trouble with it whatsoever. It is able be worn on either ear, and doesn't rub or pinch, although all our ears are different, so someone will complain.
This is also very easy to use, as well as being very good, but most important, it is legal too. Using a mobile phone while driving is now banned, even if you are using it to text, check the time, use the calculator, or use it to scratch your nose! I must also say it makes driving easier than with the old wired hands free kit.
The earpiece has a control for the volume, which is a little hard to operate, but you can use the controls on the phone instead. The sound quality is very good.
These devices can now be found for fifteen Pounds or even less. The reason for this is that the new version is out, with more functions, like a vibration mode. I have to admit I would find this a little frightening, the thought of something vibrating inside my ear would not improve my driving.
I have to say that this little OTE (over the ear) device is brilliant, the recommended retail price is actually just under £30 but as I have just said, you will find it a lot cheaper. Mine was a gift so that made it an even bigger bargain. I also received a car charger, this works on 12 and 24 volts. Also included in the package, was the ordinary 240 volt mains charger.
The little device holds it's charge all day long, even when it gets a lot of use. Apparently it is supposed to give up to eight hours continual use, not that you would be on the phone that long, and it can be charged between calls anyway.
The actual earpiece is very comfortable indeed, and you do forget you have it on. there is also a holder, which has a clip fitted so you can attach it to your shirt etc. You insert the earpiece into the holder to charge it, then whichever charger lead you are using then goes into the holder.
I find that when using this device, the mobile phone itself uses more power than normal, this is because it has to be connected via Bluetooth to the Jabra all the time. I have never yet lost this signal, in fact I have had no trouble with this brilliant little gadget at all.
I must confess, I did have to resort to going to my local Orange shop, and admitting I was an absolute technophobe, I asked them to "configure" my Jabra for me, which they immediately did without any hassle. This was something I could have done myself of course, given a year or two!
