There are already lots of reviews of both devices and they are good. I have both, the Plantronics for two years now while the Jabra arrived yesterday. The reason I got the Jabra was basically for the A2DP profile.
There are tons of reviews but none of them reviewed it thoroughly for one of its main functions, MULTIPOINT, the ability to have to phones connected to the headset at the same time.
Here In the Philippines, having two phones is a must. So for us blutooth users here, Multipoint is must.
Ive been using Plantronics 640 for about two years now. I love it. It doesnt have DSP and or noise cancelling technology but I dont need it, I use it in the car, office or indoors, rarely outdoors, and its really not that windy here in the Philippines.
Phone A: HTC Touch Dual (supports handsfree, headset, A2DP profiles)
Phone B: Myphone Dual SIM (supports 2 SIM CARDS simultaneously, and all profiles of Phone A)
Im kinda in a hurry now but heres a summary of what I am trying to do and what I cant, im not sure if its a Jabra Issue, but my Old Jabra BT620 didnt have this issue at all.
When Using the 8040
1.) Pair it with two phones. I was successful here.
2.) On phone A listen to music while being able to accept calls from A & B
3.) While on a Call with A and receiving a call on B, I want to hear a beap/tone on the headset so I can put on hold or end the current call and switch to the call on B just by pressing the 8040's button.
4.) While Listening to Music, I accept a call on A, then I get a call on B, so I want to end A, then answer B, then when I end B, I want music to automatically connect to A.
Right now when I answer a call on A, it looses its connection to B, when a call comes in to B, Phone B rings but there is no Beep/tone on the headset so I have to manually end A via headset, then B connects again to the headset.
When I am listening to Music on A, and a call comes in on A, there is no problem, music pauses, I press headset button to take the call, then I end the call again with another press and music comes back on. BUT when I try number, it fails to connect back, music just plays on phone itself not on the headset.
My Jabra 640 has not trouble at all with everything, except for the music part since its not A2DP.
Thats all for now!
