Jabra BT200 Bluetooth Headset

Advantages: Easy to hear and be heard, cuts out background noise, good price
Disadvantages: Personally I find it difficult to keep it on my ear

...I bought this product to go with my very first bluetooth phone (Motorola A835 reviewed seperately). I was working in London a lot and wanted to be able to keep my phone out of sight in my bag, also when shopping or out somewhere noisy I never hear the phone so this seemed like an ideal solution. The Jabra BT200 was at the best price for a bluetooth headset £39.99 and I bought mine from Amazon.co.uk but they are widely available at this price now. I had a lot of problems at first, but this was down to the phone not the headset. Despite this I had contacted the Jabra support and they were very helpful. The phone was reviewed as the most comfortable headset around. I found it very uncomfortable at first and it took a while to get used to. When someone rings me the headset first gives a little warning chime before ringing...

Review of Jabra BT200 Bluetooth Headset

Jabra earpiece headset gizmo type thing . . .

Advantages: Very good indeed.
Disadvantages: None found.

..., 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 by bluetooth to the Jabra all the time. I have never yet lost the signal, in fact I have had no trouble with this brilliant little gadget at all . I confess I had 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. something I could have done myself of course, given a year or two! Jabra do have a website, take a look:- http://www.mobilefun.co.uk Here is a full list of the spec:- Product Type Headset - wireless - Bluetooth. Recommended Use Mobile phone.

Review of JABRA BT250v Headset

Bluetooth headset.

Advantages: small, light weight
Disadvantages: none really

...Ok where to start. My sister got the headset free with her Motorola phone (ages ago) she has never used it and hid lost the instructions for it. We have just moved house and my dad found the headset. He charged it up but none of use could work out how to use it as SOMEONE (My sister) had lost the instructions. So I searched the web yesterday and found a PDF instruction book ready to look at. The file loaded up and I was using the headset in minutes. -The box- the box is made of plastic and is about 25cm tall and 20 cm wide. (approx.). There is a stylish cover thing on the inside so you can see what you are buying. It says; " Bluetooth Universal Wireless Headset HS850" it also states that it is compatible with all Bluetooth phones. The headset is displayed at the front of the box with the microphone open so you can see the size...

Review of Motorola HS850 Headset

JABRA-CADABRA! Magic bit of kit! . . .

Advantages: A very good Bluetooth device.
Disadvantages: Small enough you can easily lose it.

...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! If...

Jabra GN5035 multimedia USB headphones

Advantages: Sound quality, long cable, remote control
Disadvantages: Remote too far down the cable

...you adjust the level. For ease of storage, the headphone cups can be rotated making the whole thing much flatter which was a nice touch. Sound Quality I initially tried the Jabra GN5035's with Skype on both Skype to Skype and Skype to landline calls. I found the sound quality more than acceptable with a nice warm yet detailed output. The people the other end reported that the sound quality was good for them too giving the noise cancelling microphone the thumbs up as well. I next tried listening to CDs and MP3s and playing games, mainly Bioshock, my favourite at the moment. The sound was again very enjoyable with particularly good stereo imaging, especially with games. Bioshock certainly caused more than a few jumps when voices appeared all around us with a level of realism not always found elsewhere. Whilst not up there...

Review of JABRA GN5035 Headset

JABRA - BLUETOOTH ON THE MOVE

Advantages: Don't Get Nicked For Holding The Phone
Disadvantages: Yes It Is Another Gadget

...SOUND AND VOLUME The sound level is great. I?ve used wired handsfree kits before but find I can never get the volume loud enough to hear when driving down the motorway and such like. However with this unit I can adjust the volume level at the push of a button up or down and you really can hear it well. It is a little bit hard to find the volume button as it?s built so smoothly into the unit but the answer button is easy to find. FEATURES The headset is Bluetooth, which for those of you who don?t know allows you to connect two Bluetooth devices up without a wire over a short distance. This means you can have your phone in a holder on your dash board and the Jabra in your ear with no wire to get caught up in as you try to change gear or steer. The unit also supports voice dialing so you can push the call button on the headset...

Review of Jabra Personal Handsfree

JABRA BT250v Headset

Advantages: easy use, clear, comfortable
Disadvantages: battery life, cost

...I bought this bluetooth headset for my fiancee a couple of months ago and it is excellent. The headset, once one, connects automatically to your phone once you accept it. The headset fits snugly and comfortably around your ear, with two types of gel earpiece provided, with spares also! Having no wires means you are free to move and talk naturally and after a while can feel like your not wearing it! the sound quality is excellent and the other person, I am told, can hear you just as clearly without you needing to shout! One disadvantage £50 is quite expensive. The other problem is that the battery doesn't last that long, approx 6-8 hours talk time, which may be lots for some people, depending on how much you use it. The headset is easy to recharge and comes with its own charger cradle, it prob takes about 4 hrs-ish to recharge...

Review of JABRA BT250v Headset

'Must Have' Bluetooth Headset

Advantages: Very comfortable, good earpiece volume, stylish, many extras
Disadvantages: None that I can find.

...damage. Flip the case over and there is a small mirror on the back - okay, not a necessity, but a nice touch and attention to detail. Inside you will find the headset, three sizes of soft ear gels, ear-loop, four small charging adapters (these adapt various mobile phone chargers to charge to the discovery, so you only need one charger for both, although the 640 does come with its own charger), charging 'pen clip' (which also allows storage in your jacket pocket in standby mode) and battery charger case for AAA battery (this allows you to boost the talk time to 15 hours and standby to 180 hours). All the above may make the case sound bulky; it isn't - it would slip in a jacket pocket. COMFORT AND WEARABILITY This headset is worn 'in ear' a little like the stereo ear buds that are popular with portable music players etc. Normally, I avoid...

Review of Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth Headset

Jibber-Jabber-Jabra, just gotta have ya

Advantages: Good call quality, battery life and keeps you legal
Disadvantages: Can't but help look a bit daft behind your ear

...WHY DID I BUY IT? I was always happy to leave my phone to ring when driving, as I'm not the sort of person who thinks "I must answer that right now or the world will end!". For me a phone is a tool for freedom and not a ball and chain, and I was one of the very last in my circle of friends to succumb to the revolution that is the mobile phone. I have to admit I did briefly consider a hands-free kit, but they looked ugly and also a good excuse for some scally to smash a car window, just in case you'd been dumb enough to leave your phone inside. However, when Vodafone offered me a free Jabra BT205 when I upgrade my phone a couple of years back, it was difficult to say no, and I very soon came to use the thing all the time. The 205 was a decent little headset and something I used frequently when going on longer journeys (which I do...

ITECH BLUEBAND BLUETOOTH STEREO HEADSET

Advantages: Wireless Connectivity, attractive, sleek, amazing sound quality
Disadvantages: range <10m, hurts ears after a while, HUGE sound leakage

...at once really bad but then you just get used to them which was the case for my headphones. They also bend and flex really easily and fold up really small, I can do a lot with these headphones as I can talk though the built in microphone on my phone, listen to music from my phone and my mp3 player, Bluetooth technology is indeed amazing and can only get better! the range is not too good only up to around 10m but that's Bluetooth for you it isn't designed for long distance and to be honest you don't need it to be there are buttons on the headphones to receive calls and adjust volume up or down and it is easy to pair with other devices....
