Jabra BT160 Reviews

Gearlog reviews the Jabra BT160 and writes - This Bluetooth headset is made for the fashion-conscious crowd. Changing designs was super easy, and once I snapped the plastic cover, it stayed in its place. Sound quality was good–not too compressed or tunnely-sounding. One of my tests involved calling myself at the office from home and leaving a voicemail. I was impressed with how it blocked out the background noise when I was speaking. (And I had the TV on really loud.) The earpiece felt comfortable both around my outer ear and inside–and my teeny ears usually have trouble with ear buds and any sort of in-ear device. (Apple’s iPod earbuds kill me!)
