Jabra Stone Review

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Oct 19th 2009 No Comments

Up until now, choosing a Bluetooth headset has demanded you pick between outright style and audio performance. Devices like the Plantronics Discovery 975 and the Jawbone PRIME have gone some way in disguising their boom microphones and preserving sound quality, but there’s still no mistaking that you’re wearing a Bluetooth headset. Into the fray steps the Jabra Stone, distinctive both for its curvaceous styling and its promises of boomless natural-sounding audio. Is your next Bluetooth headset a Stone’s throw away? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset revealed 26 days early

The great thing about teaser campaigns is that they give plenty of time for leaks to take place, and that’s just what we’ve seen with Jabra’s new Bluetooth headset, the Jabra Stone.  While the preview site says you won’t get any more than a slinky silhouette for another 26 days, Gizmodo’s tipsters would rather you saw the curiously-coiled headset ahead of time.

By Vincent Nguyen on Friday, Sep 18th 2009 1 Comment

Bluetooth headsets might be associated with spreading legislation demanding hands-free use of cellphones, but the short-range wireless technology also has a more entertaining use: A2DP wireless stereo. SlashGear has been testing out Jabra’s HALO headset, a set of folding stereo headphones that promise not only hands-off voice calls but wire-free music too. Check out our full review after the cut.

Bluetooth class-action suit settled: Lawyers unsurprisingly the biggest winners

By Chris Davies on Monday, May 4th 2009 No Comments

Motorola, Plantronics and Jabra have offered to settle in a class action lawsuit that accused them of insufficiently warning of the possible impact Bluetooth headsets could have on a user’s hearing.  Since the number of headset users are so great, however, the financial compensation – $100,000 – is going to hearing-loss related charities; the real winners are the lawyers, who will likely take in excess of $2m.

Jabra’s HALO Stereo Headset and SP200 Speakerphone only crossed the wire yesterday, but Vincent was on-hand to try them out at MobileFocus during CTIA.  The HALO represents a more grown-up headset, answering users’ cries for a more discrete Bluetooth experience: the status LEDs are hidden on the inside of the headband, and the controls are zero-profile touch sensitive.
