This review is from: Jabra EarWave Boom with Universal 2.5mm connector (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Jabra makes, by far the best hands-free devices on the market. The EarWave Boom is a good model that will satisfy 90% of people who need hands-free functionality for their cell phones.

Jabra has gotten away from the full molded ear gels for this model. I personally prefer them to the mini ear gels, but this unit fits fine in your ear with the ear wrap-around. It's comfortable and works fine.

As for the hands-free jack on your phone, you have to make sure you have a 2.5 millimeter jack. That is the one with 2 stripes on the plug. Calling this "Universal" is a little bit of an overstatement, but with a little research you can verify which model fits your phone. Unfortunately, a specific compatibility list is hard to come by. Look at the specs for your phone and give it a try.

The microphone will capture sound just fine. For those who experience a lot of interference or muffling, I recommend you try the version with "Noise Cancelling." It's about $7 more but for certain models of phone the difference can be worth it.

The Jabra EarWrap has a slightly better wraparound attachment and a slightly longer arm. For those who don't like the microphone arm, the Jabra EarWave Bud doesn't have a microphone arm, but instead has the small mic on the cable with a clip to attach it to your tie or shirt. Personally I don't like those models.

I have not found much difference in sound quality between the different Jabra models. The differences are mainly in comfort, style, and ease of use. This product is decently priced, but I think it could be more affordable.

Try other higher end models if you are more demanding, like I am, and are willing to spend the money. This is a pretty good model though, definitely enough to satisfy most users.

4.0 out of 5 stars As good as a small headset can be, December 8, 2004

This review is from: Jabra EarWave Boom with Universal 2.5mm connector (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I received this headset with my phone, and have been pretty pleased with it. It's lightweight, flexible, and the pointed earpiece is very comfortable to wear. It's a bit awkward to attach to your ear at first, but once you get the hang of it you can do it with one hand while driving in a second (place the earpiece in your ear so that the headset is on the outside of your ear, then pull your ear through the headset to get it in position).

The only drawback I've found is that the microphone is in a bad position for when it's windy outside; the person on the other end will just hear noise. The same thing will happen if you are in the car with the air conditioning or heater pointed towards you. However, this can really be expected with all but the bulkiest headsets, so this is a minor setback.

This review is from: Jabra EarWave Boom with Universal 2.5mm connector (Wireless Phone Accessory)

With my Samsung X105 (T-Mobile), I have gone through at least 6 hands-free set while driving, at work, at home, etc. I have come to realize that out of all those, this product is the most affordable with the best quality hands-free set available. The gel fits snugly into your ear (although one friend told me it didn't fit her) and the sound is crisp and clear, and with the noise-cancellation technology, all other noises are disregarded.

The boom-mic lets the other callers hear you better, while the mic nor the cords disrupt you while you're working or driving. With one of the shortest mics available on the market, this is a good and affordable product.
