Rating: Summary: This was well worth the money Review: I've always hated wired earpieces. I have long hair, and unless it's in a ponytail or something, I always manage to knock my earpiece loose when I wear it for long periods of time (yes, I do clip it to my collar, still happens). I must have smaller-than-most ears, because most of the products I've tried are not comfortable or stable. I'm also not thrilled with the sound quality of most earpieces. I bought the plantronics M145, which was an improvement, but still didn't quite feel stable in my ear, and especially when putting on and taking off my glasses. And forget shaking my head to move my hair out of my eyes- it moved out of place.This wireless earpiece, however, rocks. It's great quality, it's easy to use, it doesn't move around, and best of all, you completely forget you are wearing it. Answering and ending calls is very easy, just click the button. I can put on glasses, move my hair, shake my head-- the earpiece stays in place. I'm not too technical or gadgety, I primarily use this when driving and I don't expect the sound quality to be perfect (I know it can't be better than the sound quality of my cellphone). But it works great for me, I don't have any problems operating it, or using the enhanced feature like voicedialing or other voice commands (I didn't have to re-train the voice commands either).
Rating: Summary: Great headset - Wireless or not!! Review: If this was a standard wired headset, it would be fantastic. Great sound, no echo. But, when you add that it is a wireless headset, it puts it in a league of its own!
Rating: Summary: Best heaset on the market Review: Long known for their innovative and diverse headsets, the BT200 FreeSpeak is their first Bluetooth headset (www.jabra.com). This is the oddest headset you will ever see. At first, it's difficult to picture how it goes on your ear. You quickly get past this, however, and find that the Jabra goes on with just one hand. This is the most comfortable headset I have ever used, and even did some handyman work around the house for a few hours with it on, and hardly noticed it was there. The ergonomics are excellent, and the sound quality is good, with adjustable volume controls. The FreeSpeak supports the Hands-Free Bluetooth profile, and all the features, like voice dialing, work. The downside is that it takes about five seconds after you turn it on before it connects with the Nokia 3650. This is a problem with the Nokia, though, as other phones are much quicker, like the Motorola V600. After a few minutes of non-use, the 3650 will cut the connection, and you'll have to re-establish it to use the headset. There is no such problem with the V600. The V600 has it's own set of problems, though, like causing a crackling noise in the FreeSpeak. It's the V600, because you don't hear it with other phones. I quickly got used to it, but you'll have to determine how great an issue this is for you. You can leave the FreeSpeak on all day, as the standby time is rated at 96 hours, and typical talk time is 3 hours. Be sure to get a car charger, which is now easily and inexpensively available on ebay. Be aware that the lithium polymer battery is not user replaceable, and you have to return it to the factory after the battery finally dies in about two years. The non-replaceable battery is the only thing I didn't like about the Jabra BT200.
Rating: Summary: Nothing but static Review: My experience with the headset with Sony Ericsson T610 Phone (T-Mobile) has not been satisfactory. I hear a lot of static and it's operating range is very less.
Rating: Summary: Great Product And Useful Review: Not much can be said about the product that has not already been said. I love it and after sending the first defective one back to Jabra, they sent another one within a week and it works just fine... even on my non-bluetooth Nokia 6560. I have the adapter version. Everything but voice dialing works just fine and voice quality in and out is excellent... as good as the phone itself. I can leave the phone on the third floor balcony room and talk fine from the kitchen 20 feet away. I have dealt with tech support several times, and except for long waits on hold (800 number), they have been very knowledgable, professional, and helpful each time. Highly recommended if you hate wires.
Rating: Summary: Does it block radiation? Review: One of the primary functions of a hands-free set should be to prevent radiation from entering the brain. Wired sets do the job well, but, how does this product? Its just another wireless product connected to the ear inches away from the head.
Rating: Summary: Nokia 3650 Review: Sorry to say this did NOT work with my phone (Nokia 3650). I tried for a few hours and so did a friend who works in a phone shop.
Rating: Summary: Worked great for 2 days, then static city. Review: That's pretty much the story. I cannot make out what people are saying.
Rating: Summary: Great gadget to have! Review: The biggest dissapointment I had with this device is that the sound quality is about that of a radio. It may just be that bluetooth can't carry any more bandwidth. Beyond that it works like a charm. I use it for a wireless headset with my phone as well as with iChat on OSX doing audio chats. I also use it to listen to MP3s off iTunes on my commute in. Reception is only mediocre. There's always a little static on the line. I've found that if I keep my phone in my pocket while trying to use it, I get more static than I'm happy with.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Product, but sucks 6600's battery Review: THIS IS WHAT I RECEIVED FROM JABRA ..... "We are aware of an issue related to stand-by time and talk time when a Nokia 6600 is connected to a JABRA BT200 or JABRA Freespeak 250 headset. Based on extensive testing and communication with Nokia certified test labs and our supplier of the Bluetooth chip, we hereby confirm that this is related to a software issue with the mobile phone as the Nokia 6600 refuses to enter the 'power save' (sniff) mode. If a JABRA BT200 or JABRA Freespeak 250 headset is paired with a Nokia 6600, the mobile phone keeps the Bluetooth channel open and is therefore, always connected to the headset and consequently this consumes more power. There are unfortunately no solutions at this stage to overcome this issue. Our supplier of the Bluetooth chip has reported this issue to Nokia. However, we do not know if Nokia will release a firmware update for the Nokia 6600." Talk Time Measurements: This is a continued talk-time test, which means the headset is paired with the phone and a call is established and audio is transferred towards the headset. This is to see for how long the headset will stay connected. N6600 vs. HDW-2: Spec: 3:00h Meas.: ~2:00h N6600 vs. SE_HBH-60: Spec: 2:30h Meas.: ~1:50h N6600 vs. Plantronix M3000: Spec: 8:00h Meas.: ~4:30h N6600 vs. Jabra BT200 (Dual profile 19B): Spec: 3:00h Meas.: ~2:30h N6600 vs. Jabra FS250 (45B) Spec: 8:00h Meas.: ~4:20h Some settings in the phone like key tone and warning tones, if enabled, will be transferred towards headset. Also this will drain your battery faster because it requires a full audio channel to be open, even without a call established. Remember also, when connected to the phone the ring tone will only appear in the headset.
