I've had one for a couple of weeks.

It's *much* better than my HBH-60 was:

I can hear it in the car, even on the motorway, without slowing down
The battery has not run out on me yet, even though I use it all day
It's more comfortable


It does crackle a bit during voice dialling and has done twice in use (I think my laptop causes interference), but the HBH-60 used to break up in the car over 50mph all the time

I've got to second Fen here, I've got a 250, and I think it's the dogs cogs.

Hardly notice you're wearing it, nice and light. Comfy too, and that's coming from a glasses wearer.

Connection is good too, not always living up to the 10m promise (what does?) but great for hands free driving, and it doesn't have a big blue glowing panel like some of the headsets I've seen, just a discreet blue led that flashes every few seconds.

I got this a couple of weeks back, gave it a single charge and it's still going great, I use it for maybe 2-3 hours a day while driving, making the odd call, so I'm not exactly pushing the battery to it's limits.

Me like.

is it the same form factor as the 200? why do all other BT sets try to reinvent the wheel? hearing aides have been behind the ear for years and I think the 200 is very wearable...

what are the differences? between the 2?

I think the only difference is the battery life. The 250 keeps going for ever. I have a 200 and love it. Sold my HBH60 and find the Jabra more comfatable and clearer.

I tried mine today in my convertible, top down at 80mph I called my answering machine. Not only could I hear my recorded voice saying I was out, but I also managed to leave a very clear message on the machine. No way the HBH-60 would have coped with that, either way!

I agree it's comfy for glasses wearers too - not that I do, but I've had my shades on a couple of mornings on the way to work recently and it's fine.

I'm using the BT200 (only coz the 250's not available in Malaysia yet) and it's FANTASTIC! Tested the SE HBH-65 and Moto HS-810 before I got the Jabra and the Jabra's the way to go, no question there.

To reiterate what a few ppl have been sayin here, it's great with glasses too...

I've been using my BT250 for a few days and I really like it, I previously used the HBH30 and HBH35. The only thing I don't like about the BT250 is that it moves a bit when I move my head from left to right, must be coz I got small ears

Seems that Voice dialing still uses the mic on the Phone ? How do I get this to work with Headset for voice dialing ?
Any clues Doc11

PROBLEMS Solved.... Voice Dial works Great !

had an Email from Jabra which explains all....

I would like to suggest you to pair both devices with the headset profil instead
of the handsfree.

After testing our headsets with the Sony Ericsson Handsets, we have noticed that
in order to optimize voice dialing, both devices should be paired with the
headset profile instead of the Handsfree profile.

For that, you just need to press the multifunction button (and not the volume up
button) until you have a constant blue light.


Did the above and it works very well.
