Jabra Halo Smart Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Blue

Third one no more. First was a present right ear stopped working thought might have been somehow me. Replaced with second which lost taking son to school. Third time lucky no!Battery getting low put on charge unplugged in morning only for the right ear not working. So unhappy these gave a quality sound, clear speech output to a caller, comfortable and wires being magnetic kept out of tangling etc. Being blind and needing hearing these could be kept in a singular or stereo when practicable I intend to write not only to Jabra but the seller as I now have to mono headsets but not through design. Interestingly, I wonder if other customers have experienced this phenomina.

The good things:- the earbuds are really good at cancelling the ambient noise- it does sit comfortably around the neck and the lack of wires is refreshing- the duration of play is impressive, easily goes the whole day playing music and callingThe shockingly bad things:- It can pair with only device at a time. So if you have it paired with an iPhone and now want to use it on your iPad, you need to do a reset.- And if you want to go back to your previous device, you need to first wipe it from the Bluetooth settings, and then do another reset on the Jabra.- Won't pair with a Mac.- Audio quality is far inferior to wired, cuts out sometimes even though the phone is just in my pocket.- The mic is too far away sitting on the neck, and also has a tendency to rotate around the neck meaning the other party will just hear you faintly.- The mic can easily get hidden by clothing, collars especially, again muffling the sound for the other party.- The controls are not the easiest to locate, again if collars start getting in the way (jacket, jumper, shirt collars)

The good: strong battery life, decent sound (music) good sound (voice), pretty good Bluetooth rangeThe individual: earpieces are either comfortable or notThe less good: the neckpiece is quite hard and uncomfortable, the cable from neckpiece to ear is very short and also sensitive for pulls. After less than a month of use, button controls are spotty, the connection between battery/receiver lump and one of the earpieces is loose and only works when holding it.Verdict: Would return the item if I could, but will try to fix the loose connection with some isolation tape.

I loved these headphones. The quality of the materials and the solidness of the build was astounding for £25. They sat so comfortably around my neck, I’m 6’3 and 20 stone with a 20” neck and I could not feel them on at all. They just ooze class, from the little vintage at turn on, the connection was easy, the controls were well placed and easy to use, the sound is, I think, amazing for the price. However.....I had to send them back as the right ear piece just wouldn’t stay in my ear. They have why I call tbone style ear pieces and these are quite chunky. I tried several different buds all to no avail. If these came with the standard bud type ear pieces they would be absolutely perfect. Alas, it was not to be. But I highly recommend them if you know your ear can take the t-bone style ear piece, you really won’t be disappointed!!

UPDATE: they just stopped working after 3 months. They didn't turned on anymore, and my use was very casual, no sport or gym. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Jabra should be a good brand, you cannot sell a product which value is aroun 50 pounds and it lasts 3 months. I hope was just a case, but I read that a lot of bluethoot headphons just die after some time.This in addition to the problem with the earbuds falling easily from your ears I update my review to 2 stars!ORIGINAL: I bought this kind of product because I couldn't bear anymore the fact that normal headphones kept falling out of my ears when I was moving too much, or when they were constrained from something. Buy a product like this should solve the issue since you don't have anymore the "inertia" of the long cables and the headphones should fit perfectly in your ears. Even though, in some situation, still I have problem with the headphones exiting a little bit from my ears. This is the only issue.For everything else the product is really awesome. If the headphones are correctly fit in your ears the quality of the sound is amazing, I was really surprised! The battery is long lasting and the magnetic feature of the headphones is very comfortable.

This is my 5th pair of bluetooth headphones. I have cheaper and more expensive ones. These are the best overall value for money and are the best that I have experienced for phone calls - the microphone is extremely high quality and those on the other end of the call can't tell you are on a headset - that is unusual for these headsets. The fit in ear isn't great (Bose and B&O much better) but is OK. The sound quality is decent and for the money they are well worth it - especially if you expect to use them for lots of calls.

I gave this product five stars because of its quality, sleek design, exclusiveness, amazing sound and the mobile app that comes with it.The sad part is, the Jabra Halo Smart that I bought stopped working just after four months of my purchase. I am now kind of lost and know where to go, who to talk too.I was almost on my last stages purchases to Jabra Solemate Max (upgrading from Solemate) until this happened.I hope someone can get in touch with me now and find a solution for me.

The sound is great, the battery life is great, but these headphones are simply not robust enough for real world use.After <6 months, the rubber is coming away from the body, the right earbud is beginning to fail and there are many similar reviews.The ear gels are too small too, but you can get replacements. the New Bee ones work well.Really disappointed in this from Jabra. I hope their customer service can remedy the situation.
