Summary: BLUE TOOTH HEADSET
Comment: I ENJOY HAVING THIS BLUE TOOTH HEADSET SINCE I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO HOLD THE CELL PHONE WHILE TALKING. THE SOUND IS CLEAR. SOMETIMES THOUGH IT DOES FALL OFF MY EAR.

Summary: Not so handsfree...
Comment: I've had this Jabra headset for 6 months now. this is my first time using a wireless headset. I use it on a Treo 650. This seems to semi-handsfree. I still need to have my phone fairly close to my ear or there's up to a 20 second lag before the headset recognizes that I'm making or receiving a call. So usually I'll need the phone nearby and pick it up when i recieve a call. Also, it's very noisey unless it's at arms length from me. In my car is when i use it the most, and i usually keep the phone on my lap or between my crotch on the seat. I drive a stick so having both hands free is nice, but like i said, it ends up in my hand anyway. I don't know if other bluetooth headsets react the same way, but this is really annoying to me.
As far as comfortability, it starts to hurt my ear after about an hour if it's not placed just right in my ear. It's nice and small though, so it doesn't feel (or look) bulky on my head, unlike some other headsets i see people wearing. But i guess the bigger ones have better reception. Maybe it's the Treo's bluetooth capabilities.
Overall i give this 2 stars.

Summary: I can hear you now (finally)!
Comment: This is my 4th Bluetooth headset and a keeper. I've finally found a headset that is loud enough that I can hear in my car and other loud environments. The key is the earbud design, which fits directly into your ear. The other headsets I've used (Motorola HS820, SE HBH-30) have simply rested on the ear and have not been loud enough to hear in loud environments. The headset is so loud that I actually have to turn the volume down a few notches most of the time. In addition to being louder, the design fits snugly on the ear and won't fall off if you turn your head or are walking at a fast pace. The sound quality is good as people say they can hear me fine and the voice dialing function on my phone works without a hitch. The vibrate function is of marginal value. I turn it off to save battery life. The only negative is that I experience some interference (crackling) when there is an object between my phone and the headset or I'm more than 10-15 feet away from my phone. Very minor and the pros greatly outweigh.

Summary: Terrible Headset!!!
Comment: The Jabra BT250v headset is terrible. I am trying to use it with one of the latest Samsung phones (a900). People at the other end of my conversation say that I am coming in crystal clear. On my end, there is so much static that I cannot understand anything that is being said. This is with the phone in my chest pocket within 1 foot of the headset. If I set the phone on a table so there is no movement of the phone, and if I hold my head PERFECTLY still, I can understand what is being said on the other end of the line. As soon as I move, even to turn my head, there is nothing but static.
Unfortunately, I am going out today to look for a replacement. This was a waste of money!

Summary: A Nice Headset
Comment: I bought this headset to work with my Audiovox SMT5600, not listed by Jabra as compatible, but I took the chance anyway. The headset, which I purchased online, arrived with no instructions, but did include the charger, charger cord, belt hook, and several earbuds. A quick search online discovered the manual and pairing was accomplished shortly thereafter. All functions of the headset, including vibrating ring and voice dial, work with my phone. Sound quality is generally excellent -- it's at least as good as the phone's earpiece. All bets are off if you're out in the wind or driving with the window down, precisely the same conditions under which you can't hear the phone's own earpiece either. External noise such as a crowded restaurant doesn't seem to be a problem for my combination of phone and headset. The short boom mike seems to be acceptable -- nobody has complained they can't hear me. In fact, I can talk pretty softly under most circumstances and be heard just fine. External noise such as a crowded restaurant doesn't seem to be a problem for my combination of phone and headset. The battery is advertised to last a long time and it does. I haven't measured any run-down times, but the headset needs to be charged less often than the phone, which with bluetooth on needs a charge every couple days. The headset is light and, for me, comfortable; after wearing it 12 hours a day for the first several days I forget it is there. The headset is reversable by the simple expedient of rotating the earbud. The dorsal sping of the headset contains one button and one rocker switch. Because of the location of the switches they do not need reversing. The rocker controls volume up and down; the button combines on/off and answer/hang-up. Press the button to answer or hangup, hold for about 5 seconds to turn off/on. My phone hangs up when the other party disconnects and conveniently, so does the headset. The headset slips into the charging cradle like a knife into a holster. An accessory clip attaches to the charging cradle so you can hang the cradle (unplugged, of course) on your belt or waistband to carry the headset when it's not being worn. With practice, the headset can be put on with one hand. There is no provision for charging in an automobile, which would be inconvenient were battery not so long-lasting. Just pop the headset into the charger in the evening and you're good for the next day. On an extended trip the charging cord and cradle must accompany the traveler. Other than the lack of a car adapter, which can be remedied aftermarket, my only complaint is that the headset is somewhat wobbly on my ear and the ear bud occasionally works itself away from my ear canal. This is not always immediately apparent until a call is made/received. This is aggravaated by the fact that there is no way to adjust the headset, it being constructed of a plastic shell with a soft lining against the ear. Even the flexible shaft holding the ear bud does not adjust side to side. The headset is rated for up to 30 meters; this does not include walls or other obstructions. Jabra recommends you wear the headset on the same side that you carry your phone. Practice proves this. Lack of adjustability aside, this is a good headset with outstanding battery life. It's available at a reasonable price and, thus far, no other headset has wooed me away.

Designed specifically for convenience and comfort, the FreeSpeak BT250v lets you talk hands-free and wirelessly on your cell phone via Bluetooth technology. The lightweight, contoured device fits securely on your head, works with either ear, looks great, and is simple to set up. Enhancements over the popular BT250 include a convenient vibrating alert and a handsome new black color. Weighing less and an ounce, the FreeSpeak BT250v is constructed from a soft, sound-absorbing elastomer material that reduces distortions, resulting in crisp sound quality. The earpiece also features the new Jabra MiniGel, a soft, ergonomic gel tip that channels sound directly into your ear for better reception, improving your ability to hear conversations clearly, even in noisy environments. The device works up to 30 feet away from your mobile phone, so you can talk and walk freely even if your phone is inside your briefcase, pocket, or across the room from you. With the BT250v, voice dialing, call answer/end, redial and call transfer are all just a touch of a button away. The headset also provides easy, intuitive volume controls, and features LED and audible status indicators. You'll get an average of up to 7 hours talk time and 200 hours standby on the BT250v's rechargeable batteries. What's in the Box
