Jabra BT800 Bluetooth Headset with Caller ID Display

Amazon.com Product Description

Get ready for total freedom with the Jabra BT800, an advanced Bluetooth headset with the features lots of folks have been waiting for. With the BT800, your phone actually becomes the accessory, as the headset lets you control virtually every major function of your phone. With simple controls, a built-in LCD display, and powerful sound clarity and noise reduction technology, this is a must-have for Bluetooth-enabled phones.

No matter how fancy or powerful a headset may be, it's not all that useful if it isn't comfortable. Fortunately, the BT800 has comfort covered. The ergonomic earhook makes for easy wearing on either ear, while the unit is stylishly contoured to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

All the functions you use most often on your phone are conveniently available on the BT 800. Using just four controls-- the mute button, jog wheel, 'Answer' and 'End' buttons-- accessing the functionality you need is easy and natural. For example, the jog wheel, which is used for scrolling through menu functions in standby mode, becomes the volume control during a call. Meanwhile, a blue backlit display shows caller ID on incoming calls so you know who's calling instantaneously-- no need to fish through your pocket and look at your phone. Plus, you can use the display to choose from five included ringtones, or even set the headset to vibrate when a call arrives.

The BT800 offers optimum sound quality in all environments, thanks to unique digital signal processing technology (DSP). The DSP's automatic volume control compensates for noisy surroundings by increasing the listening level accordingly. In addition, noise cancellation technology means that the incoming caller can hear you more clearly.

NOTE: The BT800 is designed to work optimally with devices that support the Bluetooth Handsfree profile. Some features such as the Caller ID will not be possible if this profile is not supported. Please check with your phone manufacturer for details of profiles supported.

this is not the driod you're looking for, move along..........2007-12-24

seriously, this thing is barely usable. heavy, (and the picture when i bought it showed a much sleeker design.) battery life is unacceptable; barley a day IF you don't actually use it. and the cool led screen? why? it's stuck in your friggen ear already, i have yet to find someone that can read the screen and use the thing at the same time... although it does make it easier than most to sync up. whatever, it could take three days to sync up (i have to do THAT once.) i have to actually USE it all the other time.

Good product, bad material.......2007-07-20

I have had this one for about a year now, and here is my review Plain and simple :
1. Sound quality : Very good (for both parties)
2. Caller ID : Overrated it only shows the Number NOT the contact name
3. Vibrating : Excellent if your cellphone does not have a built in one
4. Material : Cheap, the holder snapped & I had to fix it so it lost some freedom of movement.
5. Battery Life : Not that good, you have to charge it every day or else
6. Size : Bigger than you think (makes you look nerdy)

Hope that was useful.

Skip unless you REALLY need the caller ID........2007-05-13

Product is very bulky and heavy. It surprised me that it came with it's own belt holster until I noticed it just wasn't something you could comfortably leave on.

The speaker on this unit was great as it was always loud enough. However, the other party could not hear me if there was ANY background noise. This unit is equipped with DSP technology that actually cancels out the background noise (and does so quite well), but it also made my voice not understandable to the people I was talking to. The could hear that I was saying words, but my voice was modified so much I was told I sounded like a robot to multiple people. I even tried downloading the update software in hopes it would help, it did not.

Another problem is that inbound calls always had the international country code added to it, so if I used the caller ID function to call a number, it wouldn't work as the cell phone didn't know whey that + was in front of the number.

Is was going to exchange my original model with another to see if my unit was faulty. When I took it out of the holster to put in in the box for shipping, the ear piece broke. That was the final straw.

I sent the item back and got the Jabra KX-10. Completely opposite. I cannot even feel it is on. There is no caller ID (I hardly miss that) and the speaker is not quite as loud. At least people can here me know.

Wireless Bluetooth Headset.......2007-05-06

The Jabra BT 800 has excellent sound quality, both for the listener and the user but, it is a large and bulky item that has difficulty staying firmly on the ear. So, when I am not using the phone, I usually take off the ear piece and drop it in my purse. It also has connectivity issues. It does not easily connect and disconnect with the phone. It would be much easier to use if the system had an on and off key which would allow the head piece to perform in this manner. It is a pain to go searching through my purse for my ear piece and I miss most calls. This would be eliminated with a simple on/off switch that would automitacally reconnect with the phone when placed in the on position.

Practical but needs updating........2007-02-15

I bought this product over a year ago and it served me well until the LCD screen cracked, and is now basically an oversized "regular" bluetooth headset. To my knowledge this is the only LCD bluetooth heaset on the market. The caller ID and vibrate options are great. Often times I would place the phone near a window (when I had bad reception) and keep the headset with me and still see what number was calling.

Occasionally there was an echo and I usually got complaints if I used it anywhere other than my car or indoors with no background noise. I agree wiith the volume comments and comfort, it needs to be louder with a more comfortable ear piece. The "earhook" WILL break under normal use, be sure to call Jabra before your year is up and they will send new ones for no charge. If there is a protection plan available, I'd purchase it.

Great product.......2007-10-03

The Jabra BT800 is a good Bluetooth headphone that could be used with a few systems (I use it with my 2 cell phones (Palm 650 & Motorola L6) and 2 computers = 4 systems). It is very easy to move from one system to another.

The sound quality is good for both sides.

The system is a bit heavy and with glasses it is a bit uncomfortable

I bought a nice Sony Ericson Bluetooth headset for my phone and it was delivered on time. The Sony Ericson HBH-660 is a good piece of equipment that reduces noise while you are talking and is decent to hear the person you are talking to.

Unfortunately, I was misled be the description which said "includes Travel Charger". I paid extra for this item compared to the same item advertised elsewhere without "includes Travel Charger". The travel charger was not a car travel charger that I expected, but just a regular A/C adapter for a wall outlet. I paid to much for what I received. Be careful.

Look Aren't Everything.......2005-07-10

I just purchased a Motorola e815 from VZW, and was looking forward to using a bluetooth headset and being free of wires. I thought the caller ID was a great feature, and perhaps worth the premium price. After two hours of wearing the headset, I had to get rid of it.

Pros
Light weight
Great styling
LCD readout
Battery status display
Easy bonding with my phone
Flawless connection with cell phone voice calling and answering calls
Able to hear caller clearly, even in noisy environment

Cons
Earpiece is thick rubber or silicone
Mic picked up lots of ambient noise to produce static on the other end
Caller ID did not display name, only number
Pricey

The earpiece was uncomfortable from the start. Never could get it adjusted so it didn't rub on the back of my ear. After two hours my ear hurt when I took it off. Not a good sign. It looks like you might be able to bend or shape the earpiece some, but I couldn't get it to work for me. The thickness was also noticeable.

I took it out to the mall and made and received some calls. The ambient noise was picked up by the mic and produced a lot of static on the other end and made it hard to hear me. On the other hand, the earphone, while it didn't rest in the ear but slightly over the ear opening, was very clear and intelligible so that I wasn't straining to hear what the other person was saying. The ambient noise level wasn't excesssive, but I didn't bother to try it out in louder circumstances because my ear was uncomfortable and I knew I couldn't live with that. I imagine because of its design to sit above the ear canal rather than in it, it would have required a higher volume to counteract the ambient noise. The good thing is that when the headset is not in use, you can hear with that ear.

I was quite disappointed with the caller ID. The numbers are small, and when an area code is listed, it scrolls horizontally. It didn't display the name even when the caller was in my phonebook. That would've been the most useful feature for me.

The electronics worked great. Pairing and using the headset was easy. I didn't try out the claim of 5 hrs talk time, but it's probably true. The unit weight was neglible, and wouldn't have been obtrusive if the earpiece had fit me better.

Overall, nice concept, but execution is not on par with the concept. I got a Motorola HS850 to try out, and will post my impressions when I can test it out. Just off the bat, its thin earpiece doesn't hurt my ear at all, and the 8 hr talktime sounds good, plus it's cheaper than the Sony.
