[sundownerspars]

I have a BT200 and it is fine as a head set althoughout side wind noise can be a problem. Battery life is good, it out lives the life of the battery in the XDA II any way!

[redejong]

I own a BT 200 and am very satisfied about it.
After some minor installation/bonding problems, due simply to the fact that I did not exactly know how to deal with it, I think it makes a good choice.

Battery life OK en especially satisfied about combined use with bluetooth GPS (BT 308)

I've a Jabra 250 headset, impossible to use in good conditions. Tha range is ridiculous.
I sell it to buy a Bluetrek G2.

[jesal]

[jesal]

25C

[jesal]

hey thx mate. u think i shud get the one that says 16c then. since the other person said it works. i was thinking of gettin the jabra 200 only instead no head aches at all :lol: . im waiting for feedback ppl

[k_kirk]

I have a J200 with the 03C code. Never had the bonding issues with stock XDA2 BT stack. Sound quality leaves room for improvement though. What I hear is often scratchy... Also note, when you are using the J200 on BT, the mute button on screen (Phone Applet) does not work. NOt sure if there is a fix for this. Can get quite embarassing if you are not aware of this "feature"!

[jesal]

oki so score is 2 on 2. i dont care much bot the mute func. dont use it much. 03C weird code. wht to do oh my godddd :wink: :roll:

[bandito66]

Buy a Bluetrek G2, it seems that there's no problem with this headset...

[faisal]

using 250. code 23C. works quite well. one out of ten connections breaks up the voice a bit. have not tried range too much but my use is mostly in the car where it is not far. battery life is fine (well beyond the xdaii)
hope this helps..

I've tested Bluetrek G2, Jabra 250 (code 15C) with XDAII for a month.
- Battery: both are good
- Both can pair at least 2 devices (XDAII and Notebook for IP telephony)
- Jabra: big but pro
- G2: light and small
- Sometime the sound is not good, repair for scan the new frequency slot and they will be OK
Finally, I've selected Jabra 250 because it is easy to hang on your T-shirt button :lol:

[jesal]

hmmm thx for the input. the problem is that i dont get the Bluetrek G2 at all in my country. ill havta hunt. whts the price for the g2 neways. i really like the jabra. go on pplz more input plz

[bandito66]

Try by yourself, it's the best solution for you. We can't offer you the solution..

[jesal]

i know that it is. but its the reviews that im interested in mostly.

[bandito66]

The most importan is what you think. XDA's users have very different experiences about this headset. Impossible to give you an opinion you can trust

[azbro]

I'm using the 250 (16C) and its OK.

Plus points:
-Design is nice and ppl. wont think that I'm out of this world.
-Battery life is super
-Range is super. My friends are very suprised at the range I'm getting.
But take note. At a long range, there will be a slight delay (2~3 sec. than usual) in getting the tone signal in.
-Easy to hang on the shirt.
-One 2 One-one year warranty (i'm not sure abt. other countries).
-Super clear voice going in to the ears (this is also a problem too) and ppl. talking to us get a clear voice too.

Minus points:
-I get a headache if wearing it for too long (lets say more than 4 hours).
I'm not sure abt. other headsets.
-The sound is indeed scratchy but this is due to its super clear earplugs.
Other products like DCI, Bluetrek, Logitec are also scratchy and breaking voice, but their design is different in a way that it minimize this. Simple to say Jabra is more like 'mid to tweeter' while other models are more 'bass to mid' sound. Logitec goes a step further and add a 'beep' sound when it starts breaking up. I think BT technology needs to improve further.
-I do get very rare case of bonding problem after installing 3rd party bT software. Uninstall it, so back to normal.
-err...paint is slightly dulling out at the area which touches the back of the ears. I'm not sure why but probably due to the perfume or maybe hair oil I'm using. But its very minimal.

[jesal]

nemore reviews ppl ? :shock:

[Pope]

I've got a 250 (06C) and I've had no problems with it.

It's by far the least obtrusive headset I've found, sound quality is perfectly adequate for conversation (not sure it would be good for music, but then music over bluetooth would be bad anyway!) and the range great and battery life is unbelievably long!

[busterkat]

I have a 200. 10B

This is a replacement for my first- the speaker actually fell out and got lost..
I used it sucessfully with my MDA I. Wind noise was a big problem. Sound was a little scratchy by very adequate.

Battery OK as long as you remember to turn it off and return it to the cradle. The battery bonks really fast in standby mode.

I have been completely unsuccessful in getting it to work with my MDA II. I bonds but I get no sound. I don't know if it is the Jabra or the MDA's fault here. Jabra support friendly but clueless.

Very comfortable. Stays on the ear very well. Does not look too weird.

I use a Jabra 250. I read about the problems here before I got the XDA (got headset first), but thank fully no problems. I've not had any other headsets so can't say how good it is, but I'm happy with it. Its comfy and light and the battery life is more than acceptable.

[sg_r1]

i have a 250 06C. Used to have a lot of problems with my previous 250. I can't seem to pick up an incoming call immediately after hanging up from one. So i wrote to Jabra and they swopped another one for me.

Now it works brilliantly. Can't have anymore complains about it other than a dodgy call receive button.

[alimx]

my thought of jabra is :
1. design is great (didn't give headache before 4-5 hours usage)
2. battery life is about 4-5 days (turn off at night)
3. sound quality is fine (except for O2 Xphone, it's the phone bt problem)

but the biggest score for jabra is : IT SUPPORT 2 DEVICES OF O2 PHONES (XPHONE AND XDA II) at the same time.. so I could use one jabra for my phones.

I haven't test the rest of the bluetooth headsets available yet..

[jesal]

hmmm. gr8 write ups ppl. i was thinking when is the BT500 comin out then. if soon ill get that one instead. i lost my nokia 6600 recently so have only xda2 to use it with i can wait a bit get a new phone and new BT as well. whens it out i want to know that.

[Carlos]

I bought the 250 today, and it's going back to the store tomorrow. I hate it. Sounded fine, but it's too much bulk to stick behind your ear. Also challenging to put on quickly with one hand while the phone is ringing.

Also tried a Motorola 810. Nicer, but feels too loose and floppy when I turn my head around quickly while driving. Feels like it will fall off. Easier to put on quickly. Comes with a queer-looking bright blue metallic belt case that's very big. The Jabra's belt clip/charger unit is VERY nice.
