 top notch July 27, 2010
Joel B. (Lansing, Michgan)
they are very comfortable, the battery life exceeds expectations every time i use them, their functionality is superb being able to bluetooth both my mp3 player and my phone simultaneously, you can use them while they are plugged into the wall!! i've never heard of that!! well worth every penny i spent!
Very Happy - Exactly what I expected. July 17, 2010

Probably the best bluetooth headset I've used, as far as sound quality and functionality.
I was able to successfully pair it with my Mac Book Pro, iPod, iPad and Blackberry Tour. Sound quality is great. The volume control does take a little getting used to but I've adjusted to it. Just swipe up to increase the volume and swipe down to decrease. It may take a few swipes to get full volume. Don't expect it to be exact (ie. top of the control is full and bottom is mute), but if you swipe slowly you can get it adjusted perfectly (start at the bottom-up to increase, start at the top-down to decrease, don't start in the middle). There are incremental beeps to help you gage the volume.
Volume control works with MBP, iPad and Tour. It does not work with iPod.
Next/Previous track works with MBP, haven't fully tested it with the iPad, does not work with iPod.
Button in the middle accepts/cancels calls and pauses tracks.
PROS:
Taking calls is simple and callers report that they hear me clearly. Often they don't realize I'm on a bluetooth headset.
I love the fact that I can have it paired to 2 devices at once. I can use it with the MBP or Ipad and still take a call on the Tour. After the call the halo switches back to the other device.
Not as portable as my Jawbone II but it has better call quality (which is surprising with no noise cancelation). I'll still use the Jawbone in the car and on the go.
The Halo can be charged and in use at the same time. It accepts the standard mini USB (slim profile) connection which means I can keep it "topped off" on my laptop USB when I'm working and unplug it to move around.
Also included is a wired 3.5 mm jack (fits into the USB port) so you can use with non bluetooth devices and a self closing storage pouch. Nice touch.
CONS:
To turn off the device you have to fold it up. It does not fold flat and is kind of bulky, I suppose you could just hang it around you neck but it's not discrete by any means and it remains on as long as you have it unfolded.
I'm a bit concerned with the snap fold idea for turning the device on and off, one would hope that it's been fully stress tested to last repeated the snap-open snap-closed. It makes a satisfying pop when you fold it, just wondering how long till that hinge fails. I'm using it primarily in the office so it's open, on and charging most of the time.
The felt ear pads do make my ears warm, it's not unbearable. They appear to be non-user serviceable, I can't find any seam or way to replace them. As with the hinge concern only time will tell...
I researched this headset and understood it's limitations with the devices I was planning on using it with. Overall, very happy with it.
Nice product. July 12, 2010

Really nice stereo headphones July 5, 2010

I just got a imac and wanted bluetooth stereo headphones or headset to use with my imac and my ipad.
Do not care about cell phone use, just wanted a nice stereo wireless set for music and movies.
This Jabra Halo set is PERFECT!!! Most everyone else was suggesting the motorola S9 set. So I tried that first.
One word for the motorola S9...AWFUL!!! Had a terrible time pairing to my iMac. But worse, the S9 is heavy, bulky
and really unconfortable to wear. They drove me nutz. Could not stand that heavy tight wrap-around behind the head
on the S9. If you laid back in a chair, the S9 poked into my neck and really was so unconfortable...PERIOD.
So I returned them and got the Jabra Halo BT650s. About the only other option in wireless headsets for stereo and music use.
Well.. the halo set is soooo light weight. Like draping a scarf over your head. You don't feel it at all.
No... I guess I would not run or exercise with them because of the fit is not pressure tight (a good thing).
BUT... if you want a bluetooth great sound stereo headset, that easily paired to my iMac first try (unlike the motorola S9),
then this is the set to get.
I can not believe how good they feel on the head/ears. You could wear these all day and never have an issue.
Where the S9 gave me neck cramps after a few minutes. Like having popcorn stuck in your teeth, the motorola S9 drove me crazy.
The Jabra is like a draped scarf draped over your head. So nice!!!
And the sound is NOT too loud. Easily adjustable. Also, if using on a imac, in the iMac bluetooth settings you can further
adjust the volume there too, if needed.
Like I said, I do not use them for a cell phone or running/jogging. But for pc/mac use they are the only solution.
Great sound. Great fit. Great pairing. Great job Jabra...!
Wireless! I am free! June 20, 2010

This is such a great product! I don't have to worry about dangling wires anymore! It was very easy to install and sound qualities are good too.
A notable plus is how comfortable it fits on the head. I would definitely recommend this product.
Also~ I used this product with my HTC EVO 4g phone. Works great!
