Conclusion
Overall there is no doubt that Jabra have managed to produce a capable range of BlueTooth™ headsets that meet the demands of consumers at various levels.
Of the three headsets we have reviewed here the BT250v would come in last place. It’s not a bad headset by any means, but it has too many faults too really come any higher in this company. The lack of battery indication in any shape or form and the 1.1 BlueTooth™ specification means that it was just outclassed. In realistic terms the age of both the design and technology is all too apparent when compared with the other headsets here and results in its lowly position in this shootout.
The BT330 comes in a very respectable second place, which is all the more impressive considering it is actually cheaper than the BT250v at most retailers in the UK. The 1.2 BlueTooth specification and the versatility of the device is only hampered by the cheap feel of the product itself, although nothing can take away from the truly impressive 17 gram weight.
The appearance of a battery indicator is welcome (although it is slightly simplistic), as is the comparatively simple charging solution versus the BT250v. Overall a worthy second place and a respectable and fairly complete product overall. It’s recommended on the basis of features to price.
Some might say this was to be expected, but the BT800, the most expensive device in this review, wins this shootout, and with style.
It’s simply a very complete BlueTooth solution that ticks all the right boxes and does it well, although performance and the weight statistics do reflect these extra features in a negative way.
The visual display is useful and informative and the list of features expansive. If you are in the market for a BlueTooth headset then the BT800 should be top of your list, a well built, quality product that represents excellent value for money given its features.
