Jabra BT8010. I LOVE IT and Customer Service is GREAT!

[xultar]

I purchased a Jabra BT8010 to use with my Cingular 8525/Hermes 100.

Anyways I wanted exceptional sound and a better form factor than the large Moto HT820.

I wasn't disappointed.

I love them. Now to be honest the headset only works with WM6 on the Hermes. Apparently the Bluetooth Stack for the Hermes WM5 sucks wind.

The BT8010 connects flawlessly no need to fight like with the Moto HT820.
The sound is EXCELLENT!
They aren't heavy and since they don't have the donut sized ear pads it is comortable to wear.

Customer service is the best. I lost an ear hook/ear loop I emailed and then called them on Monday and I had thee replacement ear hooks/ear loops by Thursday.

If you haven't tried them and you need a BT stereo headset please give them a try. I love it!

Does the Jabra have a mini usb charging connection or are they still using that proprietary charger connection BS?

Has anyone tried tried the new Motorola S9 BT stereo sports headset? It looks awesome.

They still use the proprietary one. I don't care though cuz the sound is AMAZING. I've had tons of moto headsets (including A2DP) but they always fail to deliver. The HT820 was way to big and uncomfortable to wear.

the motorola S9 is great. ive had jabra stuff and never been impressed. they are lightweight sounds great you can run with them on they don't fall off. I haven't tried the new jabra yet but from their website it seems like they fit like a regular mono headset and that just wouldn't work in the gym. I believe for what i do the S9s are better.

Donsaxena:

Thanks. I think I'll give the S9 a try.

on my old Jabra BT800 I was able to press a button to initiate the MS Voice Command. Now that I've upgraded to the BT8010 I cant figure out how to do it. Any suggestions?

I had the Moto headset for all of about 2 days before I returned it for the Jabra. The Moto was uncomfortable to me and not very flexable. The Jabra is much better and when you don't want the second earpiece you can just unplug it and put in the case.;)

you can still do that but first you have to push the button close to the mic pic up then the main button on the jog dial.

I'm kinda disappointed buying this because this headset wouldn't work perfectly on my Dopod 818Pro (Prophet).

The headset is excellent when talking to another party on the phone. The sound is loud and clear but when it comes to listening a music. It would distort and crackles after about 20 - 30 seconds and the sound would disappear. It's like it's losing its BT connection or something.

To solve this issue, I have to turn off the BT8010 and turn it on again and the sound would go for another 20 - 30 seconds

I have tried with WMP, Mortplayer, TCPMP and they are all the same. Mortplayer would last longer but still distorts and disappears.

I have done all the registry fix for A2DP for Prophet and none helps. I'm pretty happy with the headset but not for the use of listening to music.

So I keep the other half of the headset in my drawer. :(

Git it today from Fry's local store for $99, price is good until 6/26

Pros:
1 very good sound quality and volume (compared to Moto HT820) for calls and music play
2 Size and design
3 LCD display

Cons:
1 No rewind function for music
2 doesn't fit my ear very well, kinda loose and unconfortable

It's fixed, I'm so happy

For those who have BT8010. Don't use Jazz Equalizer because you'll find that you'll have the same problem I had.

I think this is a bug, can anyone else confirm?

I have no problem when using Normal / Rock but Jazz will create a distortion after 29 seconds (using WMP).
