If you have a Bluetooth phone, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of the comfortable, easy-to-use, and affordable Jabra BT110 Bluetooth headset. The BT110 frees you up to multitask and talk whenever, and wherever you please. Plus, it's comfortable enough to wear all day.

Click the image to get a closer look at the BT110's features.

Fortunately, the BT110 is easy to pair with any phone that supports the Bluetooth 1.2 specification. And with a single button to answer and end calls, as well as one touch volume control, you'll quickly be a pro at using it. If your phone supports it, you can also use the BT110 to place voice activated calls. A yellow LED on the unit indicates Bluetooth link activity, the headset's pairing mode and low battery life. And speaking of battery life, the BT110 boasts 15 hours of talk time on a single, easy-to-replace AA battery. There's no need to worry about turning it off, either -- its automatic 'power down' function does it for you.

Of course, no headset is any good if it isn't comfortable. The BT110 has you covered there, too. A contoured ear-hook gives the headset a secure behind-the-ear fit (on either ear). Meanwhile, a patented in-ear MiniGel offers comfortable listening so you can really enjoy your calls -- no more holding the phone to your ear. The lightweight, durable design is neat and functional and, once on, it stays securely in place -- you'll forget you're even wearing it.

Product Description

If you want all the benefits of hands-free, wireless communication, in an easy-to-use headset, the Jabra BT110 is for you! Simply slip it on, switch it on and enjoy effortless hands-free phone calls that are as natural as face-to-face conversations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best...., April 10, 2005

I don't think this is the best choice for a Bluetooth device unless there is an overwhelming reason for you to prefer to use AAA batteries instead of charging a long life battery daily.

I suppose there could be an advantage to being able to just plop in another AAA battery if you've forgotten to charge the phone, BUT the BT110 goes through a battery per day with heavy use.

Moreover, since the device attempts to save battery life by switching itself off when not being used, answering a call quickly from the device becomes problematic. The manual actually counsels the user to answer from the handset and then switch to the Bluetooth device, and I think, honestly, this is all expecting a little too much out of a user who's already driving on the road. The whole point is to avoid an accident, not cause one.

It also takes so much pressure to use the answer button that the device can be dislodged when attempting to turn on the device.

I really think there are better Bluetooth devices out there.

The BT110 is quite comfortable, however, which makes me think that something like the BT250 would be a good choice instead of the BT110.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor sound quality, September 18, 2005

This review is from: Jabra BT110 Bluetooth Headset (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I was very disappointed with this device. I thought it will be cool since it's awesome 15h talk time, but after testing it for just about a hour, I just had to return it. All seemed well at first - the device paired with my notebook seamlessly (probably because I don't have my XP infested with that horrible service pack 2..) and fit my ear perfectly.
Unfortunately, when I played some music, listened radio and talked with my friends over skype, I discovered a MAJOR fault - the sound was fine, unless someone said anything with 's' - these consonatns sounds simply horrible, like white noise on your TV when you disconnect the anthena. It totaly spoiled the experience. Altough I haven't expected miracles (bluetooth bandwith is just about 700kbit/s afterall) I would expect headphone hardware to compress audio a bit more efficiently. This was MUCH worse than my good old undranded headphones I bought years ago in a thrift store. I do certainly expect more for stuff for $35 (originally $60) so I am going to return this. I wonder how much will they refund me..

EDIT: DIED WITHIN A YEAR...JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY.. GO FIGURE.


A bluetooth for 30 bucks? I would have laughed last year. not any more, especially when it comes with a AAA battery. Sounds heavy, is not, unless you are carrying it 24/7 in which case you either need a corded one or have serious issues or both.
Coming to the point:
PROs:
--Its as simple as it can get. Setup was a breeze with my Motorola V551. They recognized each other like old buddies.
--The power saving feature of the device makes the battery life go longer.
--Voice dialling works great although it is recommended that you record the voice dial thru the headset just to be precise, mine worked just fine even though I had entered thru the phone itself.
--Pretty impressive talk time of about 15 hours before the AAA battery conks out. Get a rechargeable and charge overnight (unless you are a 24/7 character in which case you need a spare battery). You have to "sync" again whenever battery is replaced. Not a big deal unless you own a V551 which is too techie for even a nerd. The manual of V551 assumes you were born with the phone but that's a subject of another discussion.
--I have two V551s and sync'ed the headset to both. It only works with the last one that was sync'ed. Cool. I don't want anyone to overhear what i say or hear :-)
--The weird shape is actually good keeping the thing in place.
--Sound quality is just great, both sides can hear well.
--Volume control is great with in about three or four increments it goes cyclical: Increase, INcrease, INCrease, decrease.

CONs:
--Well, size and weight for one. It is heavier than others in its class but figuring that the others need battery to be recharged failing which you are without a headset till the juice is up, the AAA option is slick. just change the battery and you are good to go.
--The device shuts itself down if not in use so whenever you want to make a call, you've to start it doing which, it activates the voice dial. well, you can cancel voice dial or just not say anything coherent for some time :0 and its okay. you dial from the phone and then pick up from the headset.
--You've to check your phone at times to see whether the device shut itself off or not or maybe its just me.
--It should preferably be on the same side as the phone for good quality. Initially it might be choppy but i guess it "tunes" fast.
--Works maybe good for about 10 feet.

Overall a great buy for techsavvy with a low budget, those with a good traffic sense, those who need two free hands and the space around them and especially for those stupid drivers who think they are driving a phone booth.
