Review on 🎧 Jabra Style Black Wireless Bluetooth Headset (US Version) - Improved SEO by Christopher Gulledge

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A potentially good headset became unusable due to two wrong decisions.

Possibly a good headset but unusable due to two very bad characteristics.1) The automatic volume control makes this headset unusable. In a crowded room where other people were talking, it was impossible to listen to an audio book on the phone or hear the interlocutor during a conversation. Even a fixed volume in the headset works well enough since the volume can be adjusted on the phone. But this automatic volume control means that a software genius somewhere decided what volume I should listen based on what the software thinks about background noise. In real life, this doesn't work, rendering this headset unusable anywhere except in a quiet environment. 2) The earhook is extremely stiff and incredibly uncomfortable for me. Jabra has only installed one hinge and it is not adjustable. A deep hole formed in the back of my ear after an hour of use. I would try to fix the problem by heating and reshaping the earhook or even making a new one from scratch, but that was useless due to the volume issue. This is an issue that only certain people have, but it also renders the headset unusable as supplied. Otherwise it's a good headset with good sound quality and a good microphone that allows others to hear you just fine. Unfortunately, due to the stupid solution of the automatic volume control, it can only be used in quiet places.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
