Good quality sound, but flimsy deviceDecember 2, 2008 I think the quality of sound is great, and the multiple ear pieces it comes with helps to get a good solid fit. However, I found the power switch to be very flimsy. Within three weeks, the power button broke off, rendering the device unusable. I tried to contact Jabra technical support, but the only method available on their website is a form submission. I submitted to requests for support of a three week period and never heard any response. The Jabra now goes into the trash can.
Jabra BT530November 25, 2008 Great product! I have tried so many of the Bluetooth models on the current market and this is by far the best out there in my opinion.
I've tried both of the Jawbone versions and this one still beats them both hands down. I always had people to tell me that they could hear lots of echoing or background noise with the Jawbone models or my voice sounded far away.
People tell me that they cannot tell that I am on the Jabra Bluetooth and that it sounds like I am on the regular cell phone part.
The first Jawbone model was really huge in size and the second one was much smaller. The Jabra seems to be about the same size or maybe a little smaller than the second Jawbone.
Powering the Jabra on and off is very easy just by simply sliding the tiny power switch.
Battery life is really good. I have not had it to completly run out of power yet. It comes with a wall charger and a USB cable charger to charge it by connecting it to your computer's USB ports.
The only thing with the Jabra BT530 is the hook that fits over your ear sort of pushes the device away from your face so it sticks out a little. If it was designed to swivel just a little, it would provide a better fit to your face.
It does come with lots of tiny ear gels to give you a good fit inside your ear. There are also some specially designed ear gels that allow you to eliminate the ear hook that fits over your ear all together and have it to hold the Jabra in your ear just by the ear gel itself. It does not fall out of your ear that easily unless you happen to hit it just right whle putting on a hat or something like that.
I ordered it through Amazon's website. The order was shipped in a reasonble amount of time.
Again great product.
Not worth the priceNovember 10, 2008 I ordered this hoping the ambient noise feature would make for a better listening and speaking experience on my Palm Centro. Sadly, while the ambient noise feature was better, the regular listening and speaking features were much worse than the BT8040 which I already have at half the price. Sound was extremely choppy. Returned for credit.
Lightweight, decent ambient noise reductionOctober 31, 2008 I recently purchased the Jabra BT530 Bt HDst. Friends on the receiving end say they can hear wind sounds from my MX5 convertible, but I can easily be understood; this is definitely an improvement over my previous bluetooth headset. This Jabra is incredibly lightweight, fits on easily and my ears are mini-satellite dishes), has controls for volume and on/off that are easily manipulated, though I must admit the connect/disconnect button is a bit difficult to locate on occasion. Another issue is that if you try and wear it without the ear loop, as it is designed to allow you to do, regardless of the earbud used, the device points into my chin, rather than parallel to it. With my beard, people I call tell me my words are difficult to make out, so I have to wear the ear loop, though that's no big deal. And aesthetically, the silver plastic makes it look like I bought it on the cheap, but no one accuses me of being satorially splendid. So, I would recommend this product to others, but not entirely without qualification.
Nice HeadsetOctober 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Doesn't block the sound as well as the Jawbone, it more or less reduces the background noise. The headset is comfortable and I've been able to wear it on long three or four hour conference calls. The ear gels allow you to use the headset without the ear hook which is great for short calls 5 - 10 min in length which is nice for those who don't want to look like a borg because you can keep the headset in your pocket and stick it in when the phone rings. I've found that on longer calls you'll want the earhook in.
The ability to play music from my blackberry curve works great at work as it's just in one ear, and to me it's like having background music. I don't even have to turn it off when a co-worker starts to talk to me.
All in all this is a nice headset thats worth the money. If you're looking for a comfortable headset that will reduce the background noise of the cube farm you work in, and play back ground music to mute them out when your off the phone, this headset will work for you.
