Enjoy crystal clear conversations and all-day wearing comfort with the Jabra BT530 Bluetooth headset. This headset is the first Bluetooth headset featuring Jabra’s revolutionary Noise Blackout Technology, which uses two noise cancellation microphones to black out background noise in all the places where your phone conversations are prone to drown, so your voice is always crisp and clear.
Despite weighing in at a mere 10 grams, the Jabra BT530 still packs a punch when it comes to high grade audio. DSP technology provides wonderful, clear audio quality, whether you are calling or being called. And Audio Shock Protection safeguards your ears from raised voices or sudden noise surges. No matter how loudly or softly the person on the other end is speaking, intelligent volume control automatically adjusts the level of received audio so the volume is always comfortable.
The headset offers dual wearing style with Jabra’s ‘Generation III’ ear gel and flexible ear hook, so you can wear it the way you like! Intended for mobility, up to 5.5 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of standby time allow you to conveniently communicate wherever you go. It automatically pairs with your Bluetooth cell phone and stores pairing profiles for up to 8 Bluetooth devices, so you don’t have to hassle with pairing each time you want to change devices. Look at the price, look at Jabra’s rising reputation for quality and decide for yourself. We’ll be ready when you are.

BT530 - the best yet!
- Pros: Noise Blackout feature works very well - better than my z9i. Good battery life. Crystal clear incoming and outgoing calls. On/Off button is very convenient. Eargels are very comfortable and secure; even without the ear hook.
- Cons: Volume could be a little louder.
- Other Thoughts: Out of all the BT headsets I've tried including the JB I, z9i, etc, this one wins in overall performance (taking noise reduction, call quality, build quality, and cost into consideration)
Outstanding BT headset
- Pros: Headset paired without problems to my Blackberry and personal phone. The piece fit so well on my ear that I forgot I was wearing it. All the people I was talking to were astonished that I was on a BT headset. It was VERY clear and did well blocking noise. Sounded much better than my previous 'good' wired headset.
Surprisely the volume was loud enough to understand my wife....that was amazing. That was the most common review compliant by some with this headset. I didn't ever have to ask her to repeat what she had said. I would have to do that from time to time without any headsets. This might even improve my marriage. ; )
- Cons: Let me start off by saying that I am being very picky...so what I have to say will not impact my overall score. I have a very minor issue about the noise cancellation feature. It worked well in almost every noisy environment. The one area it did okay in was isolating music from my car radio playing in the background. To be honest, I didn't really expect it to work perfectly because I had the music up loud and the speakers were close to my headset.
- Other Thoughts: Very pleased with the BT headset and will highly recommend it to those who want a comfortable unit that

Stick it in your ear
- Pros: Excellent performance & range. Noise cancellation works well. Has NEVER dropped a bluetooth connection. Excellent battery life. Micro-B USB connector is very convenient. Pretty LED colors. I found the volume to be adequate. I like the ON/OFF switch, it will not turn on accidentally in my pocket.
- Cons: Hard to adjust - took some fiddling to get it to fit my ear comfortably. The Jabra support website is very difficult to navigate. Good luck finding the upgrade firmware. Found it 2 months ago, can't find it now.
- Other Thoughts: I did the firmware upgrade (v1.7) right out of the box. I use mine with an LG Chocolate 3. Don't force the power switch and you'll be ok.
Love it!!!
- Pros: Noise cancellation, Streams music, no hooks over ear with the Jabra ear gels, light weight and a great value! I can not say enough great things about this blue tooth head set!
- Cons: None
Support?
- Pros: Good sound quality in both directions. Noise cancellation appears to be what it claims to be. Elegant design.
Lightweight in ear and none of the comfort issues mentioned in other reviews.
Good price point, as compared to other brands with similar features.
Multiple pairings mean broad usefulness. Paired VERY easily with two different phones by two different manufacturers.
- Cons: Support. Support. Support.
For three days now, I've been trying to reach the support site for this unit in order to review the PDF of the manual for the BT530. No luck. Most of Jabra's site appears to be down. What? Jabra's short-legging it on its very internet presence? On weekdays AND weekends?
Yes, the power switch is snug. It remains to be seen if that's going to be a problem.
Documentation with the unit is minimal, to say the least, and a prudent owner will want to read what's online. Too bad. Jabra apparently doesn't much care about that. I know websites being run out of a kid's grandma's basement that are more accessible than Jabra's corporate presence. Bad.Bad.Bad.
- Other Thoughts: Initially, this device compares favorably with other bluetooth headsets I've owned. Best audio clarity so far, as compared with Motorola and Plantronics in various models.
I'm three-egging this device until Jabra gets its act together and makes documentation for the BT530 available online. Until then, its full usefulness and its functionalities are a big unknown, and that's unacceptable for a device such as this from a global company like Jabra.
