Jabra Halo Bluetooth Headset Review

The Jabra Halo, designed essentially for the iPhone and iPod touch, utilises Bluetooth audio streaming in order to deliver a portable, wireless headset. The unit, at first glance, appears pretty simple, with a single plastic band forming the outer structure. However, the Halo is anything but a simple, run-of-the-mill headset. Two foldable arms allow the lightweight headset to fold-up and fit easily into a pocket or bag and what’s even neater is that, when the arms are locked out, the Halo automatically turns on ready to use. A quick note on the accessories: Jabra bundles a series of manuals alongside a carry-case, charger and cable for using the Halo as a wired device. As just mentioned, the headphones are extremely lightweight – the total weight measures in at 80g. Yet, this takes nothing away from the comfort: the fabric padding and adjustable size ensuring it fits well. The earpieces are essentially just an extension of the headband; the insides formed of the same black material. Whilst, in appearance they are almost identical, one side has a single, round button for turning the device on and a volume slider.

Jabra Halo Review

Once you try on a wireless stereo headset it’s hard to go back to anything wired. The only thing that might be stopping you to acquire a pair of those would be the dorky look that most of them seem to lay over your otherwise cool appearances. Thus when we got a first glimpse at the , we were immediately pleased that it checks on both counts. Whew, finally a stereo Bluetooth headset that won’t bring irreparable damage to our street cred. Seems like a marriage made in heaven, but let’s see if there aren’t some skeletons in the Jabra closets…What’s in the box:Well, we won’t be damning our souls by lying that we find any flaws with the design and the outer appearances of the Jabra Halo. The headset is of the binaural DJ style, not a behind-the-neck sporty type, and the whole set is so thin, that it looks like you are just using it as a headband. The headband is upholstered with suede material on the inside, so if you plan on a lot of sweating, this isn’t the set for you. Jabra is citing the Halo as able to survive slight rain shower, but no waterboarding techniques should be applied to the headset.The streamlined design of the Jabra Halo is achieved by making the ear pads only slightly thicker and wider than the headband.

Product Survey: Bluetooth Headsets

Jabra is not an audio specialist, something they admit themselves, and they aren't trying to mix it with the best with the Halo. Following the example of the Stone, the Halo aims first and foremost at sufficient audio quality combined with a careful design. This is what we're going to look it. In keeping with Jabra's new aesthetic, the Halo is in matte black and ultra-minimalist, almost in a single unit. Unfortunately, this minimalism is reflected in the lack of controls. While a button to accept calls and a touch area for adjusting volume may be enough on a standard headset, we would have liked to see a more advanced set of controls on these headphones. The Halo comes with a mini-Jack cord, a charger and a neoprene case. Folding it up serves to turn it off and saves on battery for those who wouldn't otherwise remember. You'll no doubt have noticed, the Halo's single unit design gives it a similar look to over-ear headphones. Don't go thinking that the sound is insulated here though. In spite of the comfortable foam placed around the headphones, contact is far from perfect and you'll hear plenty of surrounding noise. You do however also get plenty of bass.

Jabra Halo

The Halo lets you listen to your tunes without wires for hours at a time--with the odd phone call thrown in. But be prepared to grapple with clunky volume and track-skipping controls. What's your style for stereo--earbuds or earmuffs? I go for the earmuff or earpad approach every time, and Jabra's Halo headphones ($130, as of September16, 2009) fit well. They're sleek, unobtrusive, and sturdy. And the Halo felt even more comfortable than the Motorola MotoRokr S305 and the LG Electronics HBS-250, which also adopt the earmuff design. The adjustable band that connects the two earpads goes over your head, instead of resting at the back of your neck, and this increases the comfort factor. I obtained a snug fit, and the pads felt soft and somewhat velvety against my ears. A tester who has a larger head achieved a good fit, too, but the pads didn't sit quite as flat, due to the contours of his face. The Halo stayed firmly in place on my ears even when I moved my head or body around. The pads themselves are slim, lacking the bulk of other earpads, and the headphones fold up nicely.

Jabra Halo

Most cell phones these days come with stereo Bluetooth because even the more basic handsets have some kind of built-in music player. We're happy to see this development, as it allows us to listen to music cord-free. Still, stereo Bluetooth headsets generally suffer an image problem of being too dorky-looking. Enter the Jabra Halo, which is so elegant it looks like something you'd see in a high-end electronics store. It also promises to be the first stereo headset with dual-microphone noise canceling. While we appreciate its design, we can't help but be disappointed with it overall. It just does not fit properly over the ears, the touch volume controls are a nuisance, and the call quality is not very good. The Jabra Halo is $129 retail. The Jabra Halo is an over-the-ears-style headset that is unlike most DJ-style headphones. Instead of something bulky, the Halo is slim all the way around, from both ear pads to the connecting headband. The headband and the ear pads are padded in black foam for comfort. There are hinges on either side of the headband so you can fold down the Halo to be more compact. To return it to working position, simply unfold the headphones and snap the headband into place.
