Jabra EASYGO Bluetooth Headset [Retail Packaging]

I never gave much thought to the company Jabra, such an odd name unlike pantronics, or motorola or even MOGO, i've heard of them but never jabra. So its no surprise that i just overlooked it. I have done extensive research on other brands and the style irked me the wrong way, aside from that there is this ridiculous blue light that flashes that could cause a seizure. The age old question plagued my head is a high price item necessarily better? The Jabra EASYGO really surpised me, for the price you get a high quality product than most.This product has a very simple and sleek design. Its small like most BT headsets, but its not odd looking. There is an on and off slider button which unlike most headset you have to do a tap once or tap twice to turn it on or off which just really is confusing. There are two LED indictors that signify if its connected or in use. The ear gels are comfortable and doesn't stab you after long wear as well as the ear hooks. The easy go lets you choose to have the ear hook thats comes in two sizes or use the ear gels for your preference which my last BT headset just came with one ear hook and it was quite uncomfortable.The function and use is quite user friendly. NO crazy ritual just turn on the BT unit and the BT on the phone and it does the rest for you. This unit comes with its own ac adaptor, and when the battery is low a voice indicator will simply tell you that its low battery. It takes out the guess work of when to charge.The audio quality will really depend on the signal stregnth, for me since i call alot overseas it came in pretty clear, and audible. When going out doors the wind actually causes some interference but still its audible, just talk louder! The great thing about this is since i have a low speaking voice, the person on the other end can still hear me regardless of how low my voice is. This unit can be hooked up to a blue tooth capable laptop for use on messaging software. I have yet to try it, i am still waiting on my BT dongle to see if it will interface correctly. Yet the principle should be the same as if it had a internal BT device installed. I will update once i have it set up. In general the audio is clear and loud.For less than 30 dollars you can get a quality BT head set, i'm surprised by its performance and quality, still this can't compare to higher end units with more features but for those bawlers status people on a budget this is the product for you.

I have had this device for a few months now. I don't know about longevity, but it seems pretty durable.The functions are super easy to use. If you have trouble with ending calls by accidentally pressing the button, then any sort of technology probably isn't for you.It has clear sound, and the volume control makes it as quiet or loud as I want it.Battery charge lasts a long time. I use it for 1-2 weeks at a time on a charge. (5-10 short (10 min) calls a week)It works really well with siri, unlike a lot of other stupid bluetooth devices that make you go through a whole list of commands before even activating siri.It fits comfortably in my ear, even without the hook. I use the little gel attachment it comes with, so that it doesn't have to touch my glasses.

First- Design. The EASYGO is very small and lightweight. My mom used to have a huge and heavy Motorola bluetooth when her Razr was new and it was just too heavy to be convenient. It kept falling because our ears couldn't support its weight. No problems in that department with the Jabra EASYGO; it stays put and doesn't weigh your ear down. My only complaint with the design of it is that the earhook stays straight and doesn't "swing" open or closed, making it a little awkward when first putting it on, but the EASYGO comes with specific eargels which allow you to remove the earhook (I haven't tried this due to a problem specific to those with small ears).Second- Comfort. I have trouble finding music accessories and headsets that are comfortable because of my small ears. The "one size fits all" stigma has never applied to my ears. Having said that, the unfortunate truth is that the EASYGO is no exception. The piece that the normal eargel covers is too big around to fit comfortably just outside my auditory canal, causing slight discomfort after a few hours of wear. It's not, however, unbearable so I just try not to mess with it too much (causing further discomfort or pain). Also, I wear glasses so the earhook is a little irritating, but not painful or too uncomfortable.Third- Functionality. I was impressed after reading such horrible reviews for the performance that my easygo had absolutely no trouble connecting, staying connected, voice input/output, and receptiveness. I occasionally have a bit of trouble understanding people on the other end (which I associate with my comfort issues), but so far have had no other issues in the slightest. I actually loved how far away from my phone I could walk (three rooms away) and still hear and be heard very clearly! I could do laundry while my phone charged in the other room (total WIN!!!). :) Also the battery life seems to be most excellent! I opened this bluetooth about 3 or 4 days ago, and after the initial straight-out-of-package-charge, I have yet to see a low battery indication, and still have wonderful performance (I have used it for about 2 or three hours straight for 3 consecutive nights).Please keep in mind, I've only had this bluetooth for roughly a week. If problems occur (which I doubt) I will update.Overall, for this being MY first bluetooth, I have thus far been very pleased and would recommend others try it. Besides what I've covered in this review, its price isn't too bad either.
