Jabra BT500 Bluetooth Headset

Date Published: 3/13/07

The Jabra BT500 Bluetooth Headset provides a comfortable fit with reasonable access to features. Probably the best things about this model are its thin design (0.6 inches) and its snug fit. The headset is very lightweight, and ear gels of various sizes can be affixed. Because these ear gels swivel, you get both increased comfort and better clarity. Unfortunately, the microphone manages to pick up a fair amount of noise when talking outdoors.

Pairing for the headset is easy to accomplish, but it not particularly easy to adjust the volume while wearing the BT500, as the buttons are somewhat stiff. Charging can be accomplished via an outlet or via USB, which is especially handy when traveling. Overall, the BT500 is a somewhat expensive yet solid buy for those seeking a thin and comfortable headset.


Pros: comfortable, thin
Cons: expensive, volume buttons, microphone performance

Warranty
1 year
