Jabra Halo

What's your style for stereo--earbuds or earmuffs? I go for the earmuff or earpad approach every time, and Jabra's Halo headphones ($130, as of September16, 2009) fit well. They're sleek, unobtrusive, and sturdy. And the Halo felt even more comfortable...

Great-sounding music ; Comfortable headband and earmuff design

Average phone call quality ; Volume and track-skipping controls poorly designed

If you're looking for nonearbud headphones to handle music and calls--but primarily music--the Halo package is a good choice. You'll just have to tolerate the nonfriendly volume and track-skipping controls

Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset review

Most cell phones these days come with stereo Bluetooth because even the more basic handsets have some kind of built-in music player. We're happy to see this development, as it lets us listen to music cord-free. Still, stereo Bluetooth headsets...

The Jabra Halo has a slim and stylish design that folds down to a more compact and portable shape. It comes with a 3.5-millimeter patch cord in case your device does not have stereo Bluetooth.

The Jabra Halo fits awkwardly over the ears and does not feel like it is securely in place. Call quality suffered when in a noisy environment, and we did not like the touch-sensitive volume controls.

The Jabra Halo is an attractive stereo Bluetooth headset, but that's about all we can say for it.

Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset Review

Bluetooth headsets might be associated with spreading legislation demanding hands-free use of cellphones, but the short-range wireless technology also has a more entertaining use: A2DP wireless stereo. SlashGear has been testing out Jabra's HALO...

Jabra Halo Review

Once you try on a wireless stereo headset it's hard to go back to anything wired. The only thing that might be stopping you to acquire a pair of those would be the dorky look that most of them seem to lay over your otherwise cool appearances. Thus when...

Jabra HALO Bluetooth Headphones Review

Jabra None of the previous Bluetooth headphones that I have had the chance to use have really felt “right”. Many of them were either just like two enormous earbuds in each ear tethered to each other with a wire behind my head, or were too large to...

Jabra Halo Review

You can tell that from the moment you look at its minimalist design, that the Jabra Halo is not your typical stereo bluetooth A2DP headset. The HALO sports touchscreen controls on its right hand earpiece and it also features AVRCP which lets you play...

Sleek, minimalist and lightweight design will appeal to both men and women, comfortable to wear, neat touch screen controls, doubles as a wired pair of headphones of your non-bluetooth MP3 player, very good mid-range

Bass reproduction is weak, skip forward/back controls can be wonky, need to be careful when folding and unfolding that you don't break the headset

Overall, we really like the Jabra Halo. It's unique minimalist design with touch screen controls, strong feature set, and good audio quality make it one of the top of the line bluetooth headphones out there. You also will enjoy wearing this headset for...

Review: Jabra Halo

Jabra tries to strike a balance between audio quality and size.

Good voice quality in both directions ; Simple controls and subtle design ; Comfortable ; Easy pairing

Bad music quality; occasional interference ; Expensive for what you get ; Twitchy touch controls ; Wired listening still needs a battery charge

design and comfortA first try of the Halo gives an immediate impression of absolute subtlety. Where many over-ear headphones are built to call attention to themselves, these hide as much as possible; the microphone is completely out of sight, an
