This unit is great, with some inconvenient drawbacks. Also there is a tiny blue strobe on this thing that let's you know its on.
I can't speak for its standby or talk time because I charged it nightly and had a car charger for long trips, but I never ran out of juice either. Yeah not a great feature when its stays lit constantly while it charges on my night stand.
I owned the 250v for 3 years. Good luck with that one.I never turned it off because I couldn't.
Would I buy it again.Yep, its too comfortable to pass up. and if the piece that held the eargel on hadn't broken I wouldn't be in the market for a new one.
First, turning this thing on and off is supposed to be a matter of holding the multi-function button for 5-10 sec.
Unlike the Motorola, the Jabra's speaker is designed to fit in the ear, which makes it much easier to hear. I purchased this headset because I was having trouble hearing with the Motorola set I got with my phone. It's range also seems to be a little limited, but all and all it's a marked improvement over the Motorola headset. It comes with two sizes of ear gels, but even with the large gel, I have to lightly press it into my ear during a conversation in order to achieve optimum volume. The headset was a snap to set-up, and it is extremely comfortable to wear. My old Motorola set had a tendency to flop around while the Jabra sits comfortably on my ear.
I've read in some of the other reviews for the bt250v (a similar model) that it has a tendency to fall off if you move your head too quickly; I can see why.Truth be told, I almost purchased one of these for my own cell phone use (I own a Motorola v360) but I read the reviews for the Plantronics Voyager PLT 510. It's realatively light weight and you can wear it for a long period of time without alot of discomfort (she does wear it quite often during the day). The different ear pieces give you the ability to give a custom fit feel to it, which is nice. I bought this for my wife a while ago and pairs with her samsung slider phone (can't remember the model number off of the top of my head) quite easily. :) I'm glad I did - but that's another review. There are times when I call her (even on a land line) and it sounds like she's digitally stuttering. I've had occassion to use it myself (when I have to use her phone) so I feel that I can confidently rate it.Overall, it isn't too bad for a handsfree. In my opinion; not good.
I am most impressed with its durability. The pants went through a wash and dryer. The headset is light and fits the ear perfectly. I forgot it in a pants pocket. The headset still works albeit with the same problems I mentioned above. Unfortunately, often people have a hard time hearing me. I can hear them perfectly.
That is the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. I would but the BT250V over the BT250, so you could get the vibration alert in th same package. Jabra makes a great product. I like the BT250, because I can hear the conversations better than when I used the types that hang outside your ear. I have a little bit of hearing loss from shooting in the military, and I can hear well with the BT250.
