Review on ๐ŸŽง Jabra Motion UC Bluetooth Headset - Black (Retail Packaged) by Brian Micheals

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product and battery life but if you wear glasses.

available UPDATE April 24, 2015 (about a year later). Functionally, this Jabra Motion UC Bluetooth headset still works. The connection is good with iPad, iPhone and Android. Never "fit" in the ear. The inner ear cup is about twice the size of any in-ear/earbud I've ever used - it's thick, even with the smallest rubber outer shell - it doesn't matter. What the outer rubber cover covers is too big to fit in the ear. I've always just left it behind my ear and that's why the Jabra almost always wants to fall off (because the part that goes behind the ear is also huge (FAT) as I mentioned in my first review. It would be much better). Make the gill bigger (you can't make it smaller behind the ear), even if it sticks out behind the ear, it would be narrower and fit behind the ear. Having good headgear that fits your head. About a week ago, the upper part, the black rubber outer shell, came off completely. The glue stains on the inside were obvious and the glue lasted about a year. I've glued it back on. About a month ago, the cool stainless steel mesh microphone cover came loose. Worn it looks solid and of course good. Microphone. So now my mic is naked and open. I'm careful with my technical stuff. I really care about her. But with normal wear and tear and careful use many times a day, this headset has lasted for a year now. So if I divide the cost by 12 months, I get my rental price for the device. $128/12 months = $10.67 usage cost per month. In truth I still use it, but that was an estimate of the cost of using it. That being said, I think I got over $10 a month using the device. And I still do. Too bad companies don't make such expensive devices better, more durable, fit better, etc. charge every day. Are you wearing glasses? Put on the Jabra first, then the glasses. This is a thick (wide) jabra on the ear. If it had been thinner on the ear I would have given it five stars. But the designers don't seem to be wearing glasses.
