Summary: How irritating!
Review: If you have a Nokia 3650 DO NOT BUY Jabra's headset!!!
I have just spent an hour trying to get the FreeSpeak to work with my Nokia 3650. I went on Jabra's website and they even have specific instructions for that model Nokia. Now I am reading that it's not compatible! Just as other reviewers stated, Jabra's solution to Nokia's Bluetooth chip update was to put a blue sticker on the box! Jabra does have the compatible headset but you have to send the bad headset to them (pay for shipping) before they'll send you one. Meanwhile, I still don't have a headset.

Summary: I own three Bluetooth headsets. Jabra wins.
Review: I'm a total Bluetooth junkie. I have three Bluetooth mobile phones, USB dongles, adapters, a Palm Tungsten|T, and three Bluetooth headsets.I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-20, a Nokia HDW-2, and a Jabra Freespeak BT200. I knew ahead of time that the model I bought didn't support the new Bluetooth audio profile (called Bluetooth Handsfree) in addition to the older standard, Bluetooth Headset. I shipped it back to Jabra, they sent me the newer model in a week, and I have to tell you - out of all three headsets, the Jabra is: * The most comfortable.
* The loudest.
* The most versatile.
* The most useful.
* The most comfortable.
* And, the most comfortable! The Jabra Freespeak sits comfortably around your ear, I wear two different pairs of glasses, one thin wire-style and one thick plastic kind (both from Matsuda if you are into eyewear) and this headset can be worn comfortably with either pair. Huge plus. The mic swings down nicely and has great pickup, and the range of the headset to my 3650 and 6310i from Nokia seems to be the advertised 30 feet, even in my house where wireless tech in that band abounds - I keep a multi-room AV unit from Terk in my house, as well as 802.11b WiFi equipment. Bluetooth doesn't seem to interfere with it one lick, and it works great. This headset can get VERY LOUD. No other headset I have used has NEARLY the same range of volume, and I keep the phone set to "2" on volume (out of what, 8?) and the headset kept quiet too. If I push the phone volume up or the headset volume up much more, it actually annoys me. You can hear people in a car with the roof open and the windows down, though the mic can get lost on a windy day - you can cruise at 70mph down a freeway with the windows down if you're on mute for that important conference call your boss made you join even though you have nothing to say. The belt clip doesn't work so well for me. I don't tuck in my shirts very often, so it will fall out of that. I put the headset in my pocket. Or, if it's a button-up shirt, I loop the headset through the shirt over one of the buttons on my chest. It's handy. I really think I could fall asleep with this thing on my ear, which I certainly couldn't do with the HDW-2 (Which I have for sale by the way!) To be fair, I have smaller ears I think, and they're very sensitive to things touching them. Really I'm completely enamoured with the Jabra headset, I recommend it to everyone. It's inexpensive, comfortable, and a solid performer. The new version with Bluetooth Handsfree supports new features too, like redial, answering a call while on another one, and swapping between them. It even rings in the earpiece so as to not make a huge racket when you get a call. Excellent! Voice dial works great - but as with most Bluetooth headsets you will want to re-train the voice dial commands with this headset to make sure the phone understands the nuances and difference in your voice if any. I've gotten comments that it sounds good, I think the mic on the phone sounds better, but I much prefer to leave my phone in the trunk when I'm in the car. With voice dial and a Bluetooth headset, I don't really need to touch the phone much anymore.

Summary: Misleading Title
Review: I purchased this headset specifically for use with my Nokia 3650 (as advertised above). However, the unit I received is *not* compatible with the the Nokia 3650. The number near the microphone indicates that this unit does not support the Nokia 3650 (the number should be 19B, not 05B as is on my unit). Jabra will swap the unit (at no additional charge) for one that is compatible - however, you will have to pay delivery charges to Jabra in California.

Summary: Great product but doesn't work with Timeport 270c
Review: I have a Motorola 270c with Bluetooth 1.1 module. When I was able to get the Jabra to work, it sounded great. Unfortunately, it keeps losing the connection and then you can't reconnect the two. It works when it wants to, and usually it doesn't. I checked Jabra's site and they have nothing at all about this, but Motorola's site says the Jabra and the 270c don't work together reliably. I fail to understand why not - you can't exactly claim compliance with a standard if two items on the same standard don't work together. So, as long as you don't have a Timeport 270c, go ahead and buy it.

Summary: It's a great headset, but....
Review: I have tried a lot of headsets and this is the most clear (and loud)!!!
The reception is perfect and the transmision too, but (there is the bad side) the range is about 2 meters (leaving the phone over the table). I contact Jabra and they said that the version is older and i need to send them the headset (to UK) the ultimate release is the 51A. I use it with the Sony T68i and the configuration is too easy.
The comfort is the best i never use. I use it all day long and the cell life is very good (about 2 days) at full use.
I recommend the headset... but the latest version!!!

Summary: Not worth it
Review: This product is not worth the money, you are better off with the headset that came with your phone. It works great if you are using the headset in the bathroom where there are no electronic devices around. And the max distance between phone and headset is probably 4ft. For example if the phone is in your pant's pocket the reception is terrible, you have to hold the phone in your hand then what's the point of having a wireless headset. Anywhere around the living room with the TV on, you hear static. BTW I have a Sony Ericson T68i.

Summary: The best headset...ever.
Review: I have tried, literally, dozens of headsets, including other Jabra models. Nothing comes close to this one. The reception: perfect; using with my Sony Ericcson T68i, it's the clearest, and (optionally) loudest headset ever. The comfort: ideal; at a recent trade show, I kept it on all day, and never once took it off. I have been using it for months now, and nothing but praise for it.

Summary: Old version doesn't work with Nokia 3650
Review: It took me days to research for a bluetooth headset for my Nokia 3650 and I finally decided to go with Jabra. It seems to me that it's the best one among others ergonomically. I got it and I put it on, it was extremely confortable and light. Despite all that, if you want it to work with your Nokia 3650, make sure it's the "newer" version -- after I paired it with my Nokia 3650, it didn't seem to work. So I called Jabra's tech support, they told me that the version I got was not compatible with my phone. And they said that I could mail my headset back to them and adapter and they will send me a new one in about a week. I didn't do it because they didn't even offer to pay the shipping for me nor pre-paid courier. That really [upset me]. So I went back to the store and exchanged it for the Nokia HDW-2 instead. the HDW-2 is a little bit more expensive, and I am not too crazy about the color, but it's so much smaller and I don't have to carry 2 different adapters in my next trip!

Summary: Works good but Eats up the battery
Review: I had this product for around few months now. It works well but eats up the battery. My T39 used to require no charging for 3 days normally and after using the jabra i had to now recharge daily.. Not worth it over the weekdays..

Summary: Quality control is lacking
Review: I own a Sony-Ericsson HBH-30; a friend of mine purchased a Jabra a few months later (it is much less expensive than the HBH-30). The first FreeSpeak he bought was defective right out of the box. He returned it and the replacement he received died 5 months later. These are certainly not statistically meaningful events, but they should raise your suspicion. When it works, the FreeSpeak works well enough, although IMHO it is vastly inferior to the Sony in several key points:
* It's a huge hunk of silvery plastic with a blinking blue light, which makes you look like you're being assimilated by the Borg!
* the in-ear design is annoying to wear for extended periods of time, and let's face it, it's pretty gross. The Sony rests against your ear, so it has a less "intimate" relationship with your body.
* it requires its own charger, so when you travel you have to carry yet another wall wart with you. With the Sony, you can use the same adapter and alternate the charges.
* the mic boom is too short In conclusion, based on my experiences with both products I would strongly recommend against the purchase of the Jabra. Even if they addressed their quality control issues it is still an inferior product.
For an inexpensive bluetooth headset, check out the Plantronics M1000.
