I can't speak for its standby or talk time because I charged it nightly and had a car charger for long trips, but I never ran out of juice either. Also there is a tiny blue strobe on this thing that let's you know its on.
and if the piece that held the eargel on hadn't broken I wouldn't be in the market for a new one. I owned the 250v for 3 years.
Good luck with that one.I never turned it off because I couldn't. This unit is great, with some inconvenient drawbacks.
First, turning this thing on and off is supposed to be a matter of holding the multi-function button for 5-10 sec. Yeah not a great feature when its stays lit constantly while it charges on my night stand.
Would I buy it again.Yep, its too comfortable to pass up.
I purchased this headset because I was having trouble hearing with the Motorola set I got with my phone. Unlike the Motorola, the Jabra's speaker is designed to fit in the ear, which makes it much easier to hear. The headset was a snap to set-up, and it is extremely comfortable to wear. My old Motorola set had a tendency to flop around while the Jabra sits comfortably on my ear. It comes with two sizes of ear gels, but even with the large gel, I have to lightly press it into my ear during a conversation in order to achieve optimum volume. It's range also seems to be a little limited, but all and all it's a marked improvement over the Motorola headset.
It's realatively light weight and you can wear it for a long period of time without alot of discomfort (she does wear it quite often during the day). I've had occassion to use it myself (when I have to use her phone) so I feel that I can confidently rate it.Overall, it isn't too bad for a handsfree. I bought this for my wife a while ago and pairs with her samsung slider phone (can't remember the model number off of the top of my head) quite easily. The different ear pieces give you the ability to give a custom fit feel to it, which is nice. There are times when I call her (even on a land line) and it sounds like she's digitally stuttering. In my opinion; not good. I've read in some of the other reviews for the bt250v (a similar model) that it has a tendency to fall off if you move your head too quickly; I can see why.Truth be told, I almost purchased one of these for my own cell phone use (I own a Motorola v360) but I read the reviews for the Plantronics Voyager PLT 510. :) I'm glad I did - but that's another review.
I am most impressed with its durability. The headset is light and fits the ear perfectly. I forgot it in a pants pocket. Unfortunately, often people have a hard time hearing me. I can hear them perfectly. The pants went through a wash and dryer. The headset still works albeit with the same problems I mentioned above.
I would but the BT250V over the BT250, so you could get the vibration alert in th same package. I like the BT250, because I can hear the conversations better than when I used the types that hang outside your ear. I have a little bit of hearing loss from shooting in the military, and I can hear well with the BT250. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. Jabra makes a great product.
