Jabra HALO2 Black Stereo Bluetooth Headset Multiuse / DSP Technology (100-96500002-02)

Pros: Sound, which is very good overall and excellent for its class (namely, Bluetooth headphones). Excellent connectivity (Bluetooth, USB, 3.5mm audio jack). Good battery life. Comfortable. Well laid touch controls. Fold to turn off. Pretty.

Cons: Hinges look flimsy (they are holding so far though, we'll see). Difficult to clean.

Other Thoughts: Sure, these headphones cannot possibly compare in sound quality with a good pair of wired headphones. They are however superior in this respect to any Bluetooth headphones and even better than many mid-priced wired headphones. In fact one has to pay at least twice as much for a pair of wired headphones to obtain better sound!

I could not find any description of this anywhere (including in the manual), but if the headphones are plugged into a USB port they become visible to the computer as an audio device (two of them actually, as headset as well as headphones) so they are usable as such as also charge at the same time. The 3.5 mm audio jack is only needed when neither USB nor Bluetooth is available.

Pros: Great sound quality, excellent voice quality, beautiful design and form factor. Turning it on and off by opening and closing the headset is fantastic. I enjoy Touch volume much more than I expected. Also the ability to connect to 2 devices at once is a killer feature.

Cons: Inner material is a dirt magnet and hard to clean. AM3D Virtual Surround Sound is hard to get used to at first. Headphones require the use of an equalizer to get the levels just right. Touch controls for skipping tracks is finicky.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy this for your computer, these headphones are optimized for use with phones and tablets.

Pros: Design. They look nice. Sound good. Usb to 1/8 jack cable cause you will need it.

Cons: Poor bluetooth reception. Cuts in and out all the time. Sound like listening to a scratched cd. Tried on 3
phones. I got these with my amex points and was unable to get support.

Other Thoughts: Do not recommended.

Pros: - Really compact and thin
- Easy to use
- Connects fast on bluetooth devices

Cons: - High leak sound

Other Thoughts: I recommend this headphones to a friend. My uncle who tried it wants to get one too and I recommend to get it from Newegg.

Pros: Great for listening to audio from your computer or mobile phone. Very comfortable and long battery life.

Cons: Quality of phone calls, but I can't imagine using a headphone like this for phone calls.

Other Thoughts: Paired easily with Win 7, but you will have to modify the connection in the device's properties after it has been paired.

Pros: Sleek design; Comfortable. A hat/visor fits comfortably over the headset. Touch volume better than dials that eventually cause static when ajusting volume. Music sounds good. Can control pause, skip music selections. Easy fold up storage. $59 a great price.

Cons: Was only able to get about 5-6 hrs of playing music, although was playing a highest volume. As battery life went down the sound occansionly cut out for a second, found the closer the phone the less cut outs, also my movement when cutting grass might be causing it. No replacement ear pads, they seem permanatly attached, I do a lot of sweating cutting grass, working out.

Other Thoughts: I use these when cutting grass and loudness of music is as good as the Apple earphones, usually have to turn down volume when lawnmower is off. Have only used once for talking on phone and quality was good. Overall I love this headset and have had no problems. Came within 3 days of ordering, thanks Newegg!

Pros: I thought it was a cool design. I liked the audio jack cable in the times I am using it on a device that does not have bluetooth.

Cons: I'm no audiophile, but I thought the sound quality was lacking for how much I paid.

I could not get my computer to 'pair' with my Win 7 Pro device. But it was never actually connected. I thought maybe it was because windows had poor bluetooth software. So I tried it on my brother's mac air and Samsung G SIII. Neither device recognized it.
I called Jabra tech support. They seemed to have very little knowledge when it comes to pairing their devices to windows machines. Maybe it was a defective device, but I wasn't going to give them a second chance. I got my money back.

Pros: Great design and look. Seemed like microphone quality would be good.

Cons: Defective: Sound only came out of right earpiece no matter what device I paid it with. Even paired it with my MacBook Air where I could explicitly choose that it should be a Stereo audio profile.

Also, there is no conventional on/off switch. In order to turn it off, you have to fold up the headphones. Constantly having to fold/unfold the headphones, I'd imagine, would be like bending the tab of a soda can back and forth and back and forth. You know what happens when you do that?

Other Thoughts: One egg for design. Another egg for the speed of newegg's RMA process. That's it. I would have considered exchanging the unit through Jabra, but they're not open on the weekend.

After many many years of products from newegg, this was my first defective... anything. I was not aware that I would be responsible for return shipping costs. I'm not upset about it, I just think it's something everyone needs to be more aware of.

Pros: Music sounds good

Cons: Call quality is awful (8Khz mono) when used from a Mac or PC.
Background noise reduction seemed nonexistant.
Not comfortable for long use.

Other Thoughts: My work bought these as a VOIP headphone/microphone. Unfortunately the bluetooth call connection only uses 8khz mono on Mac or PC, so the audio in/out quality was terrible. Also, the people on the other end of the call could hear every conversation from my office.
The headphones also got uncomfortable after awhile.

On the pro side, music played at 44khz and sounded good.

Pros: Very comfortable. Tracy Chapman, Sade and The Charlie Daniels Band all sound good in my ears when wearing these. E-Z PC set-up with the Bluetooth dongle I picked up for $.01 on another site that starts with an "A". The touch volume control works slick. I think $59 is a fair price.

Cons: Won't fit under my welding helmet.

Other Thoughts: If you have a chrome dome such as I do be careful tilting your head to far forward or back cause they'll slip right off your head
