This is the fifth set of Jabra headphones that Iv’e tried and tested. Jabra has a really cool line of headsets that are nicely designed and generally function really well. However, in my experience none of them are really durable, especially if you use them for sports or with other physical activities. I have not owned these long enough to attest how durable they are, but right now based on my prior experience with Jabra products I am highly skeptical. On the plus side, though, Jabra has perhaps one of the best customer service departments that I’ve come across, and replacing the broken headphones has been really easy and straightforward. Nonetheless, I’d much prefer never to have to deal with the customer service department if I can help it.

the sound quality of this headset is pretty good, but it’s nothing spectacular. It’s a bit better than average for a bluetooth headset, but IMHO that’s not good enough for a headset of this caliber. I don’t expect any bluetooth headset to match the quality of sound form the dedicated wired headphones, but I feel that there is a lot of room for improvement over the standard Bluetooth headset.

The headset was really easy to pair up with my iPhone. That seems to be the case with most Bluetooth devices these days. Gone are the days when the Bluetooth connection was extremely finicky and intermittent. We are almost starting to become complacent about the reliability of the Bluetooth connection.

I have not tested these headphones as a proper telephony headset. I hate using wireless headsets for my phone calls, and am still to find one that is not completely useless from my standpoint.

I really like the look and the design of this headset. It is very elegant and stylish. The headphones start getting uncomfortable after a prolonged use, but that’s pretty much the case with all headsets.

If you are looking for a pair of lightweight and comfortable bluetooth headphones that deliver pretty good sound, then this a very good headset that will probably keep you happy. However, if you primarily use these kinds of headphones for exercising, and the highest level of audio quality is not of a paramount importance to you, then I would suggest the following strategy: buy a pair of inexpensive off-brand headphones (many pretty decent ones can be bought for $20 or even much less), use them for as long as they last (some of the ones I’ve tested can last you up to a year or longer), and then replace them with a new pair once they break down. I hate throwing away things if I can help it, but from my seven years of experience with stereo bluetooth headsets in the gym I feel that this is the
