Mini-Review: The JABRA Freespeak Bluetooth headset

Bluetooth is awesome. I had my doubts before I dove in, but now I wonder how I got along without it. I have been a mobile-phone user since 1998. Throughout that entire time I have despised hands-free kits because of the stupid wire going from the phone...

Useful, but...

I've had one of these for use in my car for about 7 months now. Call quality is good and it cuts down background noise pretty well. It holds its charge well and has only let me down in terms of build quality. The harder plastics used for some parts of...

A very "BIG" disapointment

This was recomended to me by the mobile shop I have used for years. The reason for the recomendation was it was universal. Sadly I have to say that whilst the people I spoke too could hear me clearly I could not hear them very well (crackly). The fit...

Great Value, Dont be fooled by the 10m's though

Had this about a year now and its absolutely fine for desk work so I can type while on calls or walk around with the phone in my hand. However, 10m is crap it's nearer 2-4m and direct sight is required. ie If you have the phone on the opposite side...

shouldn't it be better than this ?

It's OK, but at £49.99 I expected better. Big plus for me is not getting tied up in cable when using the phone in the car. And it doesn't look too bad (but that's just my opinion, and I'm getting to that 'what difference does it make anyway' age)....

The only one that fits

Today, I spent 4 hours trawling around all my local phone shops, and tried on literally a dozen different headsets and this is the only one that would fit my ear. Definately worth a purchase if you have anything other than midget-sized ears, as the...

Great looks, poor quality

Looks great and was dead easy to set up and I was even impressed by the sound clarity over the road noise even with the roof down! Unfortunately, and I was interested in a previous review above, that the main button ceased to function after about 6...

Good kit with a few annoyances

Overall, I'm quite pleased with this headset - the quality is good, battery life so far seems excellent and after a few minutes you generally forget you are wearing it. However - on first use it did take me a long time to get the thing into my ear!...

JABRA FreeSpeak is the ultimate hands-free and wire-free solution that connects your mobile phone to your headset via Bluetooth radio technology instead of a wire. FreeSpeak works up to 30 feet away from your mobile phone. Talk freely even if your phone is inside a briefcase, a pocket, or across the room. All calls are transmitted wirelessly to your earpiece. FreeSpeak gives you easy, intuitive access to volume controls and features LED and audible status indicators.FreeSpeak also works with non-Bluetooth mobile phones using a versatile multi-adapter, a Bluetooth adapter that also functions as a charger and holder. The multi-adapter plugs directly into your non-Bluetooth phone to enable Bluetooth wireless connectivity. It also comes with a snap-on clip to hold the earpiece to your belt or purse when not in use.Weighing less than an ounce, FreeSpeak is made of a soft, sound-absorbing elastomer material that reduces distortions, resulting in crisp sound quality. The earpiece and microphone boom fit behind either ear for a comfortable, secure fit. The earpiece also features the new JABRA MiniGel, an evolution of the patented EarGel. This soft, ergonomic gel tip channels sound directly into your ear for better reception. This improves your ability to hear conversations clearly even in noisy environments.
