Reviews for Jabra SPORT Stereo Bluetooth Headset

I've bought this headset to use at my bike. I've already test a lot of headsets before and I put all my hopes at this one, believing that it could be the end of my search. Unfortunatelly I was wrong.
Problems (sorted by annoyance ):
a) the sound cuts out and returns in few miliseconds a hundred of times during a single ride. It seems to be a problem with the bluetooth signal reception, because this issue stops if I take my iPhone at my hand and keep it near the headset. I read that some people are using armbands to control this issue, but I see no sense in buying a wireless headset if I can't keep my iphone at the pocket of my pants.
b) It doesn't fit well on my ear when I'm using helmet and sunglasses. There is no room on my ear for that bulk loop share space with my glasses and both being pressed by my helmet. It hurts a lot, keeps falling from my ear, and takes a lot of time to put it back at correct position (sometimes I need to use my two hands to put things steady).
c) When my neck is sweating, the yellow cable sticks to it, and the headset pulls out of my ear when I turn my head. I need to leave a gap in the cable to fix this issue.

I am using this headset for 3 days and I find it quite impressive.

I didn't use any wireless headset before so I can not compare it with other products.
- This headset pair quite easy and fast with my iPhone4 and works perfect.
- I am a sensitive person but I get use to wear this headset quite fast. So, I think it is very comfortable and easy to wear. Also, it does not fall, get loose or move in a wrong way even once during these days (I ran about 15km)
- Sound quality is good and I don't have any problem with it's volume or bass etc. but it may be a bit low for some songs.
- It's battery works more that mentioned by Apple. I charged it once and it plays songs for about 4 hours now. (As the indicator says, it has almost 40% more charge)

- The only drawback I can mention is that for a good outdoor experience, as mentioned by the producer, you have to use its Armband and put your iPhone/iPod in that (on your right arm). Armband had not been mentioned so I became surprised when I see it :-)
- As mentioned by other reviewers while talking the quality of your own voice is not perfect. (while talking, no one nagged but when I asked my friends, they said it is a bit different and is like talking through the speaker)
- There is no guide about choosing the right ear plug and I found all of them almost the same (non of them didn't fit of hurt my ears). So, one may change them during exercise and decide which one is better.

In general, I am satisfy with this purchase and recommend it to my friends. If I find any negative points about it, I will submit/change my review again...
Cheers

After reading the reviews on older wireless headsets and their common problems, I decided to take a chance on a newer, unreviewed product. I've only used it a couple of times, but so far it has worked excellently. The earpieces are so comfortable I barely feel like I'm wearing any. They take a couple seconds to put on your ear correctly, but once they are on they stay put. The sound quality is good and the connection does not go in and out when I place my phone in my pocket. Seeing as I just got them, durability is the only possible problem. Overall great product - will update if they stop working within a couple weeks.

This product was a major disappointment. While the sound quality is acceptable, that is the only positive thing I can say about this headset. The fit is poor, the bluetooth operating range is pathetic, and the battery life is abysmal.

What good is a headset for my iPhone if it loses the connection when I put the phone in my pocket? The included instructions warn that the best operational range is to keep the phone above your belt line. Seriously. A phone designed for your pocket, but a headset designed to never allow it to be placed there.

Avoid this headset. It's a waste of money.

Such atrocious fit, my wife never even bothered to try pair these things. They're going back ASAP. The design is such that there is NO CHANCE of these fitting anyone without serious acoustic compromise. I wish I'd read the reviews before I gifted these.

Spend 30 minutes writing a review to have been notified it's too long. Spend 30 minutes cutting the things down to 300 words. Still prompted that "words cannot be published", there is nothing in my review which had profanity or different products. It's like they don't want customers to write reviews and share opinions. WTG fapple.

Buy these, they're alright.

PROS:
- very easy to pair
- it's great to no longer get tangled in cords

CONS:
- battery life is shorter than advertised
- ear buds are not comfortable

I have been using the headset every day for the past 2 weeks, both in the gym and outside. I have not run into the problem of loosing connection reported by other users, but I do agree that the battery life is much shorter than advertised. The specs state 3 hrs of music, however the most I have gotten is 1.5 hrs (just long enough for my gym workout). The ear buds are not comfortable for me (I much prefer the in-ear style with rubber / gel caps). The sound quality is good enough - in the gym I find there is too much bleed through of outside sound, but when hiking outside it lets in just enough to keep aware of surroundings. The freedom of no longer getting tangled in a cord mostly offsets these negatives. All-inall they're "OK", but for the price I expect better.

First the good. Great fit, good audio (not great). Out of the box easy pairing. Bluetooth Ok. Now the bad. After 2 months I have a purple LED and the unit fails to function. This seems to be a known problem. The answer seems to be to replace. Mine crapped out yesterday. I will contact warranty support for replacement. Some people have done this several times, but it's a defect and needs a fix.

I was so excited when bf bought me a pair. They didn't fit right out of the box, no biggie I used the supplied padding. The sound never was that great to begin with but what's lame are the battery power AND the Bluetooth! The battery drains sooooo fast. I don't know under what perfect conditions they tested them in but 3 hours playtime for music claim was a joke! The battery level warning seems to only have "high" and dead. Once battery level indicator gets about half way done the Bluetooth connectivity goes right in the toilet. The music starts to skip. Not a fun thing to have when you are out of breath on the StairMaster. So I returned them after a couple weeks of trying. Hopefully the Jaybird will be an improvement.
