Review from ProTechCPA for the Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset
The Rating is:
I bought this headset specifically to pair with my iPhone. The sound is great and I certainly did not experience the volume issue that a previous reviewer noted. Bluetooth works very well when paired. Most of the time I have to delete the device from the iPhone and allow it to pair as if initially. That is a hassle but works well. The fit is comfortable but the rigid band that connects the ear pieces limits to some extent the flexibility. I have enjoyed a number of phone conversations and that function is so far flawless. I can hear the other party very well and everyone has reported excellent sound on their end. The light weight, comfort and wireless functionality makes this product a winner and well worth the price.
Review from a consumer for the Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset
The Rating is:
I finally took the plunge to buy a stereo bluetooth headset even though there a few choices. I have to preface my review saying I have a small head and very small ear canals so headsets that might fit well on most others are too big for me. I didn’t want a cord hanging down on my neck or headphones that fall out when I run. The Jabra Halo is extremely comfortable and secure. It fits very flush so I can even wear a cap over it. My only concern is that it will be too warm to wear in the summertime. The sound is excellent without any interruption. The volume sensor takes a little getting used to since it’s not a mechanical volume control but works well. Like the comments of others – the lowest volume may not be low enough for some. I tend to listen at the gym or running outside so my main concern is sufficient loudness and the Halo has that covered. Pairing was easy although I didn’t have the headset sides locked into place so I had to call Jabra. I called another time about using the headset to move to the next selection (which can’t be done on an iPhone). Both times Jabra tech answered the call immediately and provided excellent help.
Review from Veronica for the Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset
The Rating is:
Comfortable to wear, but warm. The inside of the headset is lined with a padded velvet, so I wouldn’t recommend wearing them if you’re going to sweat.
They look amazingly sleek. Low profile, distinctive without being ridiculous.
I had no problems pairing with my iPhone and PC. Calls were clear, both for me and the person on the other end.
Does fold to take up less space, but not *much* less, so other than folding to turn them off, there’s almost no reason to do so.
Sound quality was very, very nice, but for some reason, when paired with the iPhone, minimum volume is ridiculously loud. Watching TV on the computer was a pleasant experience, but listening to music was impossible. I don’t tend to blare my music anyway, but when the minimum is still louder than my comfortable max, it’s time to return the product.
With that said, I’d snatch it back up in a heartbeat if Jawbone fixed the sound issue.
(Edit: 2010 – Later research indicates that the problem is with Apple rather than Jawbone, and as long as you’re not pairing this with an iPhone, I totally recommend this product.)

Works perfectly so-far and I have not had any issues with volume and the call quality is very very good, best I ever had with stereo bluethooth headphones, and I own 3 other brands
Review from Brett D for the Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset
The Rating is:
Let me start be stating that the audio quality was acceptable, both for calls and music, but overall, the design is seriously lacking in the following respects:
1. The power switch is integrated into the headband hinge -a snap open, fold-and-slide affair that feels rather insubstantial and twice collapsed (inadvertently shutting down the radio) while in the process of taking the unit off my head.
2. Beyond the power switch functionality, the folding configuration provides no significant space savings. It’s not as though collapsing these headphones will make them any less bulky in a laptop bag or purse.
3. The earpieces do not pivot or swivel at all -basically, if your head isn’t a perfect fit (and mine isn’t), they don’t sit right on your ears and constanly slide off.
4. The software-based, touch sensitive volume control is a profoundly unreliable, counterintuitive gimmick. A hardware dial or rocker switch would have been much better.
5. The headband and earpieces are lined with some kind of synthetic velour that traps lint and fuzz admirably, but doesn’t add to the comfort. And finally,
6. You can’t control the tracks on an iPod Touch or iPhone 3G/3Gs with it. I know that’s not Jabra’s fault -that is a problem with Apple’s current version of A2DP, so I don’t consider it a knock on this product per se. I just mention it for the benefit of anyone planning to use these with one of those devices.
If you’re really in love with the aesthetics of this unit, consider the Jaybird Sportsband. They’re $10 cheaper, and they have basically the same features, but the earpieces adjust to the shape of your cabeza and you get real, tactile controls.
