12 Second Review: The Jabra BT8040

Jabra BT8040 on 12seconds.tv

There’s no question the Jawbone offers the best Bluetooth headset noise cancellation technology. But it’s also uncomfortable and pricey. I picked up a Jabra BT8040 for $50 at Best Buy last week for the smaller form factor and multipoint pairing. Thus far, both incoming and outgoing sound quality have been good – including a successful phone conversation in the midst of Times Square. Like most BT headsets, it could use a little more volume but overall I’m very pleased with the function and comfort… Though I’ve yet to successfully simultaniously pair my laptop and iPhone. Folks who enjoy listening to music through one earpiece can also stream music via A2DP. The BT8040 is packaged with three ear gel sizes (two of each), an AC charger, and a USB charger.
