This is my first Bluetooth headset, and I bought the Jabra BT130 after reading other reviews about comparably priced Logitech and Motorola headsets. The reveiws went on about how cheap the Logitech unit felt, and how the Motorola unit just wasn't loud enough. I easily paired the BT130 with my Nokia 6256i phone, and it has worked well so far. My only complaints are; 1.) It does experience a little bit of static when you walk past approx. 15 ft. from the phone. The specs claim up to 30 ft., but perhaps this could be phone model dependent. And 2.) The blue light on the side of the unit always blinks once every 3 seconds when it's in "Stand-by" mode, and there is no way to turn the light off! This is very annoying when you are driving at night! I might just take a piece of "colorforms" type of material, (either in black or color it in with a perm. ink marker), and cut it to fit over the darn thing! Other than that...it sounds and works great!! All in all, not a bad inexpensive unit. I hope this was helpful.

This is a real value for the price. The only downside is that the blue light blinks all the time when the headset is on. Otherwise it is comfortable to wear and the sound quality is very good.

Overall this headset is pretty good. It paired easily with my RAZR V3c and operated with no problems. At one point I changed the 'name' of my phone and the headset had to be re-paired with the phone. That took a little twiddling but after a few power cycles of the phone and handset it worked fine.

My biggest complaint is that the earpiece isn't as comfortable as it could be. The part that sticks in your ear is just a large knob-like thing that doesn't have any contours to fit your ear shape; it just kinda leans against your ear. Other Jabra products I've used in the past have nicely contoured jels and I was hoping to be able to use one of those on this piece. The piece is not entirely uncomfortable; I only use it on my commute to and from work and it doesn't bother me too much, but I can't vouch for those of you wanting to use this 8 hours a day.

Overall though I like it and for the price it does everything I need it to do and is very reliable.

I got this for "free" bundled with new service and a Motorola E815. It set up quite easily and works well for me. I'm suprised by how well it works even in moderately noisy environments. I've only had about 25 minutes talk time so far, but have had no sound quality complaints from the other party.

This is my first bluetooth wireless headset, so I can't offer comparisons with other models, but I'm pretty happy with this one so far.

I really like the Jabra BT130. It is so light that sometimes I forget I have it in my ear. After an hour or so it starts to bother me, but that is to be expected. The sound quality is great. I have no problem hearing while I drive. It paired up very easily with my phone initially and connects easily every time. The flashing light on it can be a bit annoying when I am driving at night, but not too bad. I recommend it 100%.

I got 2 of these free with my new phones, I opened one of them, the sound quality is great, it is light and fit well, the only negative point is its white color rim. if you don't mind that you can get it new for 31.99 listed on Amazon.com under Electronics (seperate from this one)

It's got the functions, but it has a tendancy to reset to it's original settings for volume when you use menus, when you power down/up, and also when you reconnect.

I would refrain from buying anything from Jabra again in the future unless it was absolutely necessary. I received a defectve model; it does not charge no matter what steps are taken. The plastic is simply cheap and flimsy for $50 as well. The company's tech support is also sorely lacking; 8-5 Monday through Friday does not help someone who receives their headset through the mail after work Friday. Do NOT let this be your first headset, because such a shoddy product and such poor customer service was enough to turn me away from this type of product now.
