CNET has a review of the Jabra BT3030 and writes – “Sound quality was quite good, and comparable to most MP3 players on the market. The bass was a little weak, but the overall quality was decent. Call quality was mixed. While we heard our callers just fine, we did have to bring the pendant close to our mouths for callers to hear us. They reported a little bit of static and echo from us as well. This seemed to vary from caller to caller, however, so we urge you to give it a trial run before you settle for it. ”

CNET has a review of the Jabra BT3010 and writes – “When the Jabra BT160 came out last year, we praised it for being one of the first Bluetooth headsets to come with interchangeable cover designs. It doesn’t add anything to its features or performance of course, but it’s a nice touch for those who are keen on personalizing their gadgets. Jabra has released its successor, dubbed the BT3010. The BT3010 has pretty much the same features and sound quality as the BT160, but it has a slightly different design, with as many as 33 different design covers included in the package. You can even design your own cover by visiting Jabra.com. However, we were not pleased with the tiny controls. If you don’t mind these slight drawbacks, the Jabra BT3010 is a fun little Bluetooth headset with passable sound quality ”

CNET has a review of the Jabra BT8010 and writes – “The BT8010 has quite an attractive black tapered design with a prominent silver jog wheel above the OLED display. The jog wheel lets you scroll through the contacts listed on the phone, or you could use it to control the headset’s volume. Within the jog wheel is a multifunctional button that in addition to letting you answer and end calls, also lets you play and pause music. The headset’s right spine is home to a menu button, a mode button, and an on/off slider switch that can be slid downward to activate pairing. The menu button lets you access the recent call list, the phonebook, and the settings menu. The mode button simply lets you toggle between phone and music mode.”

Infosyncworld has a review of the Jabra BT160 and writes – “While the BT160’s interchangeable covers may appeal to chatty sports fans, this somewhat bulky headset drops the ball with its poor call quality. Weighing in at a relatively hefty 0.5 ounces, the BT160 felt shaky on our ear, and we had a tough time hearing friends on the other end. Unless you’re a die-hard NBA fanatic, you’re probably better off with the Samsung WEP200.”

Infosyncworld has a review of the Jabra BT125 and writes – “At just 0.4 ounces, the earloop-style Jabra BT125 felt comfortable and light on our ear — a little too light, as it turned out. Any time we moved our head or turned to the side, the BT125 would practically slide off, although the earloop kept it from falling off our ear altogether. The headset’s buttons were also a tad uncomfortable; we had to press down pretty hard on the main key for commands to register, and the volume buttons were awkwardly placed, requiring quite a bit of hunting with our fingertips to even find them.”

CNET has a review of the Jabra BT620s and writes – “The Jabra BT620s headset sports a flexible, though non-adjustable, behind-the-neck design. At either end of the black neckband sit two round, silver earpieces that measure 2.4 inches in diameter. Although the headphones weigh a light 3.5 ounces, they feel heavy when worn. The neckband curves (above the earpieces) can be hooked over the ears to provide a more secure fit, but I found after 10 minutes that the resulting pressure on my ears was quite uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the headset has a tendency to slip off when not supported in this fashion–a serious design flaw, in my opinion. James Kim claims they’re moderately comfortable, and they didn’t slip off his ears. However, he did get a small headache from the prolonged pressure on his ears. Overall, the BT620s may be OK for those with tough ears, but it’s a pain for the rest of us.”

CNET has a review of the Jabra BT125 and writes – “As far its design, the Jabra BT125 appears rather bland. It has the typical teardrop shape of most headsets with a black front and a white back. Yet it’s really compact and lightweight, measuring only 2 by 0.75 by 0.9 inches and weighing less than 0.5 ounce. On its front is a large tactile multifunction button that shows blue backlighting when activated. The volume rocker rests on its right spine, but you wouldn’t even know it was there unless you read the manual or were especially eagle-eyed. It is very skinny and flat, and it blends into the headset since they’re the same color. And even once we found it, its small size made it difficult to press, especially when we were wearing the headset. ”

ZDNet blog reviews the Jabra JX10 and writes – ‘It’s tiny (weighing less than 1 ounce and 1-1/2 inches long) and can be worn with or without an ear loop. The JX10 happens to fit my ear perfectly so I don’t wear the loop. The JX10 features a rechargeable battery with 6 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours standby time. The main benefit for me is that the JX10 is plenty loud with my Treo – bravo!’

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. 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.

MobileBurn has a review of the Jabra JX10 and writes – “The JX10 is both snug and sturdy when fitted on the ear. I found there was minimal movement when using the headset, but for those wanting extra stabilization, the use of the provided ear hook is recommended. The JX10′s flexible ear hook, a thin bendable wire with a rubber outer coating, can be removed and rotated to allow for use on either ear. Normally the call control key is on the bottom of the headset and the button to increase volume is placed on the bottom at the rear of the device, with the button to reduce it positioned above it. If the headset is worn on the left ear, the controls get flipped around, which could be confusing. Another thing to note is that the Jabra logo is upside down when the headset is on the left ear. Although the logo is tiny in size and most won’t care or notice, it is something that caught my attention.”

Computerworld review:

When it comes to sound quality, the JX10 was great, even in noisy areas. It employs Digital Signal Processing technology that automatically adjusts the volume in noisy environments and features noise cancellation aimed at blocking background noise so that callers can hear you more clearly.

CNET has a review of the Jabra BT160 and writes – “Most Bluetooth headsets look the same, so when we see one that’s eye-catching and attractive, we tend to take notice. Jabra got our attention last year with the JX10′s sleek, silver design, and the company has done it again with one of its more recent headsets, the BT160. While its shape may not be anything new (indeed, it’s very close to the Jabra BT350′s), the BT160 is the first Bluetooth headset that comes packaged with 33 covers, each with different colors and patterns.”
