Great clarity and noise cancellation, but overall headset not as good as Plantronics Voyager Legend
By Joel Avrunin
Premium quality Bluetooth headsets keep getting better and better. I've been using them for years as my job requires talking to customers on the phone constantly, often in crowded or noisy places like airports. I've discovered that for the serious business user, you need a boom microphone - the ultra small headsets just don't work. For that reason, I've been less than satisfied with some of the smaller offers from Jabra in the past, and I keep coming back to the Plantronics Voyager line. I used a Voyager 510 years ago, and today use a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging - Black (though I've tried many other earpieces in the middle).It's hard to review a headset in isolation, so I will compare this to my headset of choice, the Plantronics Voyager Legend. Cutting to my conclusion, I will say that while Jabra got much right with the Motion, it has some serious shortcomings. I will go back to my Plantronics and do not recommend this headset, but as with all of my reviews, you need to decide for yourself. Some deal killers for me might not matter to you. Overall, the sound and clarity slightly exceed the Plantronics Voyager Legend, but the user features take it down in my mind. There are many good things to recommend this headset, just not in the areas of concern for me. Read each area and decide for yourself.Size and WeightThe Jabra Motion is very similar in size and weight to my Voyager Legend (actually a bit lighter at 6.1 oz), but instead of having a boom mic that extends from the speaker, the boom mic extends from the bottom of the earpiece itself. The microphone flips up for storage. Flipping it down will automatically answer a call, as will placing the earpiece on your ear.ComfortAs seems to be standard today, the earpiece comes with a silicone gel ear insert pre-installed, with a smaller and a larger one in the box for different sized ears. I'm a medium kind of guy, so the medium earpiece always works for me. The ear bud itself is on an extendable post so the height from the top of your ear to the bud can be adjusted. This is a really nice feature, but I found it didn't help the fit too much. I was able to get it on my ear and it feels reasonably snug, but the Plantronics Voyager Legend has a larger loop to go over the ear itself and seems to hold on better. Both are reasonably comfortable, but I found the Jabra didn't stay on quite as snugly. Your ear shape might be different from mine, but these were my experiences.ChargingOn the latest Plantronics Voyager Legend, I was quite disappointed that they switched from a standard micro-USB to a proprietary magnetic connector. They also only include a USB cable with a charger for AC wall voltage. Kudos to Jabra for sticking with a standard micro-USB connector, and also for including both a wall charger and a car charger! Charging this is a breeze.Battery LifeThis headset is fully compatible with the battery display on my iPhone, and it has an admirable 7 hours of talk time at full charge. When first connected, a voice tells you the talk time left. I just reviewed a pair of Jabra REVO Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headphones - Retail Packaging - Black. Those must be made by a different team at Jabra because they do not tell you the time left. In terms of announcing battery life and the total battery life, these are quite comparable to my Plantronics Voyager Legend. Unlike the Plantronics Voyager Legend, Jabra does not have a Plantronics Voyager Legend Charge Case - Frustration-Free Packaging - Black for getting even longer battery life.Controls - PhysicalUnfortunately, this is where the headset really fell down in my mind. If I could pick one reason I can't use it, it would be the large "answer" button on the outside surface of the ear bud. If you try to push your finger against the ear piece to make it fit more snugly in your ear, you automatically push the "answer/hangup" button. Plantronics put this button on the back surface of the ear bud, so you did not accidentally hit it when you pushed it into your ear. Jabra made the button huge and put it right on the outside surface. I have already hung up on people twice when I went to push the earpiece into my ear better. This is unacceptable, and just poor design in my mind. Also, if you click the button twice you "ignore" the call, and I've found myself doing that as well.The volume control was also not well executed. It does adjust volume via Bluetooth and not locally on the headset (a good feature), but it is a touch dial which takes quite a bit of pushing to activate. Sliding your finger top to bottom does not give you continuous volume control. You have to slide your finger over the entire control to drop or raise the volume by 1 "setting". So going to full volume from quiet can take more than 5 full swipes over the ear, and sometimes it doesn't register and you have to reswipe.I did like the mute control on the end of the boom microphone. It is nice to have a true mute button on a headset (Plantronics has similar)Controls - VoiceThere is a voice control which you can activate when off a call by pushing the "mute" button. From there you can voice dial, and this seemed to work reasonably well. However, the Plantronics added a voice control to "answer" or "ignore" calls. I've gotten so used to this feature that I can't believe Jabra doesn't have it. It is quite convenient to answer when your arms are full, and I am surprised that the voice control here lacks this feature.BluetoothPairing was fast, but the voice in the headset did not differentiate between Phone 1 (the iPhone 4) and Phone 2 (my iPad) when I paired them. Multipoint is extremely important to me, or the ability to switch quickly between two different devices. I found this headset got confused easily. Despite pairing to two devices successfully, it did not seem able to adeptly switch between them. Sometimes it would switch, sometimes it would crackle after the switch, and sometimes it wouldn't do anything. The Jabra Revo headphones I have do a great job, so perhaps that team can help their coworkers out. Lacking decent multipoint support is a tough sell for me when buying a new headset.DocumentationToo many electronics manufacturers are now relying on online manuals. I get this for less expensive tools, but for $130, don't tell me to go online to learn how to use NFC pairing. There's also no list of voice commands in the manual - you need to ask the headset to tell you the voice commands. The navigation voice in the headset itself is creepy. It's odd, because once again my Jabra Revo headphones have a nice voice.Sound Quality and Noise CancellationIt may sound strange that I saved this for the end of the review, but honestly I have found that the major headset manufacturers seem to have converged on good high end designs that do the job they need to do. The sound was crisp and loud in my ear piece, and everyone I called said I sounded wonderful. Background noise was effectively canceled and my conversations were crisp and clear. In fact, it seemed a bit better than my Plantronics Voyager Legend, but honestly, both are excellent devices as far as sound quality is concerned.My conclusion? I gave my Plantronics headset of choice just 4 stars because it had some issues preventing it from being 5 stars. I was going to rate this Jabra Motion 3 stars because it is a good headset, just not as good as very similar market competitor. Upon further consideration, I think it deserves 4 stars. Just like the Plantronics, it is not perfect, but it is a good headset that just doesn't fit my needs due to the fit on the head and the large sized hang-up button on the outside surface. I hope my review was helpful - this headset might be for you, but it just really wasn't for me.

Excellent Bluetooth Headset with Clear Sound
By J. Perkins
In the Box: Headset, charger, usb cord, car charger attachment, extra ear buds, and instructions.Setup: The Jabra Motion Bluetooth headset is easy to set up. First thing to do out of the box is to charge the headset with the charger provided. Charging time was about 2 hours. Hold the call button on the side of the headset while flipping open the flip boom arm, then place the headset on your ear. It will give you oral instructions for pairing with a device. Using a Motorola Defy XT, I had to go into Settings-Wireless & Networks-Bluetooth settings.After selecting Scan for Devices, the phone found, paired, and connected easily with the Jabra headset. The voice in my ear said, "Mobile connected." When pressing the call button, the headset will tell you whether it is connected and how much talk time is left before charging is needed. There was 7-8 hours of talk time on the device after charging for the first time.The headset gives me a little trouble getting it in place over and in the ear. Once in place, it fits securely and is fairly comfortable. It is adjustable and easily switches from right to left ear.Operation: Basic operation is simple. Turn the headset on and off by opening and closing the flip boom arm. Answer and end calls by pressing the call button on the side of the headset. Double tapping the call button can reject an incoming call or redial the last number when not on a call.For volume control there is a volume touch sensitive panel running along the back outside of the ear piece. It was a little awkward to use at first, but I am starting to get used to it. There are raised lines to help you find the panel by feel.There is a voice/mute microphone button on the bottom of the flip boom arm. Pressing it when not on a call activates voice commands. There are several commands available: redial, call back, phone commands (accesses voice commands on phone), battery, pair new device, and cancel. If you forget, just say "What can I say?" and it will repeat the commands available. Pressing the same button during a call mutes the microphone.Conclusion: This is my second Jabra Bluetooth headset. Both are good, reliable headsets that perform well. Sound has been excellent and clear in outdoor and indoor situations. Recommended.

People complained I sounded like I was near a plane
By Michael
I really, really wanted to like this headset. And I did, right up until I called a few people. One asked if I was in some kind of storm, another if a low-flying plane was going by.I liked the shape, the ease of setting it up, everything about it. But if people can't make me out clearly, that is a deal breaker.
