Jabra BT150 Review

Published on: 07 November, 2007 by PhoneArena Team

Comfort:

The attaching of the headset is easy, even if you have never used a Bluetooth headset before and you will hardly have any problems. You have to slide the earhook behind your ear and then to adjust the headset to the most comfortable position for you. The hook is soft and flexible and that enables you to “shape” it into a form that will fit best to your ear and to be comfortable for you.

The stable attaching of the device, to a great extend, depends on the type and size of your ear. If you have a smaller ear, the headset is loose and when you bend down or make abrupt movements it sways and it could even fall down. If your ear is bigger, then you can put the back part of the headset in it, right on the entrance curve of the auditory canal. The headset is a little bit more stable in this way but still its attaching greatly depends on your movements. We find that in both cases the attaching mechanism of BT150 is rather unstable and this is a serious reason for you to try the device very carefully if you like it and want to buy it.

We did not feel any discomfort after the extended wear of Jabra BT150 (for about 2-3 hours) and we can say that it is a very comfortable and pleasant device to wear.


Conclusion:

Jabra BT150 does not offer anything more of what you pay for – a cheap model with standard capabilities and a basic kit to use it. For an entry level device, we do not have to expect anything more. As a whole, we have mixed feelings about the device, but we are rather disappointed by its performance. On one hand, the headset is comfortable to wear and there is no discomfort during its extended use, but on the other hand, the attaching mechanism is very unstable and the sound quality is unsatisfactory and sometimes you do not understand what is said on the other side of the line.

In case you have chosen this headset, we recommend you not to buy it too hastily because we think it presented itself unsatisfactory. It is best if you consider other possibilities and as an interesting offer is Nokia model BH-301.
