Listen to your music played on one ear? Hmmm..
Yes, one new feature added to Jabra Clear is being able to stream audio to your headset. Are you serious Jabra? Do you enjoy listening on one ear only? This is the part that I would disagree with Jabra. Listening to music is better enjoyed on a full binaural headphones.
Six hours of talk time is…
This one is hard to contest, as I have used my Jabra Clear almost daily and after use I just detach it from my ears, get it again next day and go back to normal usage. I probably make more or less five calls a day averaging 3-minute talk time. So I have not really measured if it lasted six hours, but the standby time stated in the spec sheet is true – it lasted for a week and the headset is still alive. Call quality is better experienced on a less noisy environment, best used in an office setting or while in a car. But all voice calls are clear unless you are outdoors.
The Jabra Clear supports auto-pairing feature, when it detects your phone it auto-connect and whispers a little audio to your ears that says “Connected”. I manually push the answer/end button to check if it is connected to my iPhone before making a call.
Pairing is easy. Gone are the days when pairing a BT headset is really hard, Jabra Clear when turned on is discovered easily by a tablet or a smartphone. Two-hour charging puts your Jabra Clear on the job again, plus any micro-USB cable available will charge it.
What does the status display is all about?
A solid blue light indicates that your Jabra Clear is connected to your phone or tablet. You see it flashing only during the pairing mode. The battery has also indicators, when its green, it means you still have enough juice in your BT headset, the manual says you have more than 30 minutes of talk time. But when it turns to red, its time to re-charge it.
In conclusion, Jabra Clear is for people on the go, people that loves hands-free technology. Jabra is a respected brand when it comes to Bluetooth technology, hence investing on a BT headset like Jabra Clear will add productivity.
For the price of P2,450 Jabra Clear is perfect for personal use or even a gift item for your boss.
