Jabra Clipper

The Jabra Clipper is a versatile stereo Bluetooth headset that can handle calls on the go or even stream music to your home stereo system.

Good stereo sound quality. Works with any standard-size 3.5mm headphones or speakers. Inexpensive

Poor noise cancellation. Clip design offers limited flexibility

For calls, sound quality through the Clipper is average. Using the bundled headphones, incoming calls sound rich, clear, and easy to understand. On the other end, calls made with the Clipper sound clear but thin, and noise cancellation is poor. The...

Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Headset

Stereo Bluetooth headsets are a great idea for those who want to be rid of entangled wires, but many people don't want to give up their precious earbuds either. Luckily, there is a compromise: you can get a stereo Bluetooth pendant like the Jabra...

The Jabra Clipper is small and portable, and clips easily to clothing. It has a 3.5mm headset jack so you can use your own headphones. Sound quality is admirable for the price.

The Jabra Clipper doesn't have very good noise canceling or wind noise reduction properties. The volume buttons are a tad on the small side.

The Jabra Clipper is a great option for those who want a stereo Bluetooth headset but still want to use their favorite wired headphones.

Jabra Clipper

At first glance the Jabra Clipper doesn't look like a Bluetooth headset but actually is. It's loaded with features too

Fresh styling and functional features make the Clipper stand out in a crowd of plane-jane Bluetooth headsets.

"What's with cnet?"

You've read the other negative reviews of this piece of crap. My question is, why doesn't CNET alter it's reviews when so many customers are experiencing problems? At the very least there should be a "warning alert" in it's ratings and force the...

There are none.

Does Jabra not test there products?

"WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE - Shoddy Product"

I enjoyed using this bluetooth for a while while hiking and biking. It wasn't perfect, it would drop out frequently when around cars and populated areas. I was willing to let that go because hey it was a stereo bluetooth that allowed me to exercise....

-It clips onto clothes

"So glad I bought the Clipper"

I wanted wireless, but I wanted to keep my existing headphone. The Clipper is exactly that. Surprizingly small in size and very discrete (mat black rubber) so I can be clipped anywhere an not stick out like a sore thumb.

Small and compact. Simple interface. Great sound quality.

No issues yet.

"DO NOT BUY - trust me on this"

Jabra has replaced my unit twice and both units have the same problems - so it is safe to assume these are design flaws.

It is small

The clip is very, very awkward to use.

"Works great with Apple Products"

At first touch the Jabra CLIPPER has a soft rubbery feel which gives one a sense of holding a quality product. The device is solid and well constructed, with enough weight to feel solid but not too heavy (You don't get the sense that you have clipped a...

The Clipper's design is simple and effective with a great quality feel. It is simple to pair and works perfectly with my iPhone 4 as well as my MacBook Pro. Sound Quality is great for a bluetooth device with good stereo imaging.

My only gripe is that the clipper can be a little tricky to clip on some types of clothing. It prefers to be clipped to jackets, bag straps or seat belts, T-Shirts or other soft cotton can be tricky.

This thing Rocks

Nice not having earbud wires bouncing around while on treadmill. Got it to connect to my SII, Tablet and computer. Sound is really good with other earbuds (Sennheiser CX150 Earbud)

The only con I have is that to connect to another devise you have to turn the clipper off and put it in sync mode for another device
