Jabra BT250v Bluetooth Headset
Introduction :
Bluetooth (short range, radio frequency communication standard for wireless connectivity) first became available, one of the first devices to take advantage of this new protocol was the cellular phone. The protocol was perfect for short range use such as synchronizing the phone to your computer, using the phone as a modem, or wireless, hands-free headsets. I have always been a fan of hands-free headsets. You could talk on the phone while keeping both hands on the car steering wheel and the earpiece made it easier to hear the person you were talking with.
Manufacture :
One of the first companies to produce a Bluetooth headset was Jabra ( www.jabra.com) . By combining a sleek headset design with their comfortable EarGel technology, Jabra introduced the FreeSpeak Bluetooth headset. Now Jabra has updated the FreeSpeak with the new BT250V, the latest model in their original line of Bluetooth headsets. Bluetooth headsets promised to be the ultimate answer to the hassle of using a wired headset with a cellular phone.
Jabra Freespeak
BT250v Bluetooth Headset with Vibrating Call-Alert Headset features Jabra's unique vibrating call alert to let you know when a call comes in.
Convenient & Safety :
Burn out your fear of Cellular Phone Radiation because bluetooth is a low voltage device and emits very little radio frequency energy. Far less than the phone itself. So the BT250V could be considered a cellular phone safety device. Remember that Bluetooth headsets are not water-proof, so being safe in your pocket does not mean that you can do conversation on the phone in the rain.
Bluetooth 1.2 compatible :
No additional phone dongle needed to enjoy 10 meters (30 feet) of range. It also works with your Bluetooth-compatible PC and Bluetooth v1.2 gives you adaptive frequency hopping, quick connect time, and improved audio quality.
Fingertip Controls :
A single button on the BT250v gives you control of your phone up to 30 feet away - voice dialling, call answer/end, redial and call transfer are all just a touch of a button away. There is one multifunction button that turns the unit on or off and activates commands to your phone.
Long Life Battery :
The battery life has been greatly improved from previous versions of this headset. The BT250V has a maximum talk time of up to 7 hours and a stand by time of up to 200 hours between charges using the built in rechargeable lithium polymer batteries. More than a match for the most power conservative phone.
Description / Features :
Award-winning design now even better The BT250v builds on the award-winning design of the BT250 and comes in a distinctive new sleek black look to stand out whatever the occasion and whatever your mobile phone. The soft elastomer body and contoured shape of the Jabra BT250v allow it to fit securely behind your ear. It's so comfortable, you'll forget you are wearing it.
Vibrating call alert :
Incoming calls are signalled by a silent vibrating call alert which combined with the distinctive design makes this a truly standout headset. The BT250V features a Vibration Ring feature which is works well and is great when the BT250V is in a pocket or purse. Vibrating call alert feature silently signifies an incoming call.
Performance is assured :
The BT250V comes in different configurations depending on your device. If your phone has Bluetooth 1.1 or higher capability, you can get the basic model. If your phone does not have Bluetooth, then you can choose the Non-Bluetooth model which comes with a Bluetooth Transceiver to attach to your phone. However, if your phone supports voice commands, you could put the phone and Transceiver in your pocket, purse, or briefcase and do all your dialing and call answering with the BT250V. A great scenario for Bluetooth use.
Instructions :
The BT250v's design is very inconspicuous and most of the headset is concealed behind the user's ear. The headset comes with several different size Mini-gels to fit different ears. Adjusting the headset for left-right ear is also very easy - just turn the Mini-gel to 180 degrees. A flexible rubber arm connects the ear-piece to the main body which is hidden behind the ear and holds most of the headset's electronics and battery. A rocker switch is used to adjust the volume and a multi-function button are located on the outer side of the headset's main body. The buttons are well spaced out, with good response when pressed.
Jabra BT250v & Jabra BT250 :
The Jabra BT250v (www.jabra.com) is an extension of Jabra's BT250. The only major difference between the two models is that the BT250v has a vibrate ringtone option. Whereas the its will silently alert you of an incoming call, it does take up some battery life. The seven hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby time that one charging of the BT250v can yield are probably plenty for most users, but the BT250 will let you talk for an hour longer and provides an extra 40 hours of standby time for the same price.
Jabra BT250v Bluetooth Headset :
The headset builds on the award-winning design of the BT250 and comes in a distinctive new sleek black look to stand out whatever the occasion and whatever your mobile phone. The striking appearance of the Jabra combined with its vibrating call alert feature make it a unique Bluetooth headset. The Jabra BT250v delivers up to 7 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours on standby in a design that provides unbeatable comfort, allowing you to be hands-free and cord-free all day long.
Unique design :
The soft elastomer body and contoured shape of the Jabra BT250v allow it to fit securely behind your ear. It is having distinctive gloss black styling which is comfortable and secure fit. The docking cradle can be equipped with a belt clip to transform it into a convenient holder for the BT250V. This is a very efficient and cost effective design. The BT250V is so light that after a few minutes of using it, you will not even notice that it is on your ear. It is having outstanding design and outstanding performance
Superior sound :
The Jabra BT250v uses innovative technology and materials to provide crisp sound quality. The sound-absorbing material reduces distortions, the unidirectional microphone amplifies your voice and reduces background noise, and the patented Jabra MiniGel™ channels sound directly into your ear, providing great sound quality at both ends of the call. The BT250V has very clear sound and good range. There is also a volume control and L.E.D. to indicate the status of the BT250V. The BT250V is an amplified headset, so the volume control changes the sound level of the BT250V.

Multifunction button:
Call/answer button on the headset lets you conduct calls without having to pick up the phone. It usually takes a few seconds for the phone to acknowledge the connection when you push the multifunction button, but the delay is minor.
Conclusion :
BT250V is not only a solid product with good performance, but it is one of the least expensive Bluetooth headsets on the market. In general, Bluetooth headsets are expensive, especially compared to standard wired headsets, but the Jabra is far less expensive than first-party models from Ericsson, Nokia, and Motorola. The BT250V is not the smallest unit on the market, but it is comfortable and easy to wear.
