Jabra JX10 Bluetooth Headset: Absolutely Stunning

Considering buying the Jabra JX10 and was wondering how well it works with the LG U880 mobile phone, thanks

Just got the JX10 for my 650 - not happy...
It may be the phone so let me just put that out therem but it picks up maybe 50% of the time, has a very very bad sound on redial and sounds hollow...

I dont know - but i havent found a BT that works well with this phone... also not that voice dial from TERO that is put on the starter cd - will not support BT...

Any advice... O yeah I reset everything many many times...

I am having issue with JX10 as well. Mine is really new one. I am able to pair it...no issues at all. Call connects to JX10 (as I hear a small blip sound) but then there is no voice at all. I tried to pair it, without any issues with my Treo650 from sprint and with Treo650 that is un-locked from palm. And it has same results. I am using it without any issue on my laptop for skype calls, Vonage softphone and with yahoo chat. But whenever I try it with Treo650, it connects without any delay or issue but I cant hear anything at all. I did Hard reset, my firmware is updated on both phones, and I ordered replacement from vendor which arrived today and it has same issue. So my understanding is it has some issues with Treo650. Any suggestions before I send mine back to vendor????

Still having good luck with my JX10 (see above). To answer Don's question, I'm using a verizon 650 (v1.03). Anyone found voice dial software that works with BT yet?

Just got my JX10. So far its been working great! I had no problems pairing the headset. So far, people say they can hear me well with only some mild distortion (maybe a slight echoey sound?)The sound quality on my end has also been good, with only a small static click which comes and goes. (any ideas on how to get rid of it?)I currently use Verizon as my carrier.

If you guys are looking for An EXCELLENT bt unit for about half the price, look at the plantronics discovery 640. MY boss bought one for his treo 650 and after I tried it I had to buy it.

The review says it does not have redial but it does, making it one of the units that supports full handsfree. press the function button twice in rapid succession for redial.

I have not tried the jx10, but I guarantee you this- it is neither clearer nor louder than the discovery 640. At its loudest levels, the 640 is far louder than the built-in 650 volume, and that is volumecare engaged(volumecare is a must have- it doubled the volume of my treo 650 for $15) . In fact, it is so loud it hurts. People can hear it from a foot or more away.

Autolink on the 640 is superfast and nobody can even guess you are using a headset.

I dont work for the company but after 3 previous headsets, I am mighty stoked about the 640. I can wear it all day with no problems at all.

CJ, just to show "Your mileage may vary" I bought the Plantronics Discovery 640 to use with my new Cingular 650 and the sound was so bad I sent it back the same day. So much interference I couldn't hear a word the other party was saying.

Lacking a definitive answer on the JX10 I bought the SE 662 and it is the first unit I have tried that didn't break up. Sound is a little low in volume but clear, and the person I am calling tells me they can't tell I'm on a handset; they think I am talking directly into the Treo.

On another note, has anyone tried the Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit (HF850) with a Treo 650? Prior to buying the Treo I always used Motorola phones and had the permanent install car kit which always worked great. I am thinking of getting the bluetooth version to use with the Treo as I am in sales and need to talk while driving constantly.

Anyone?

hi Don,

That is correct. Mileage may indeed vary. My boss uses sprint and I use an unlocked gsm treo so I dont know how it would work with cingular(I hate cingular) but that is a different story.

Did you maybe get a lemon? the volume is clear as a bell on both units I used and as I said, at its loudest setting it is too loud.

I must say though, I dont use my bt at range. I have my phone clipped to my belt so I cant vouch for its use at longer distances.

The other bt headsets I've used are
moto hs810(or maybe it was the 820)
jabra bt250
nokia hs-4w
and the discovery is in a different league altogether.

Hi, This website is great! I juts bought the 700w, upgraded from my old LG VX 6000( loved it). I am a physician and use a sony clie PDA for my medical programs, I know that treo650 supported the Palm OS, but does the 700w support it as well in addition to the windows mobile as most of my programs are specifically for palm OS. Do you think, returning the 700 and getting a 650 instead would be a better choice?
Thanks
Bav

I think that the 650 will be a better choice if you already used a clie. I also upgraded from a clie and briefly considered a windows based os, but after messing with my mum's windows based pda, and seeing how difficult it was to navigate, I stayed with palm. This is my 3rd palm based pda and I dont see a need to change.

Depending on whether you want to look around there are medical programs for Window's mobile now a days. I have the 650 and most of the medical programs I use are for the palm OS. Didn't want to buy all new programs or even find the free ones out there (call it laziness). But you can definitely find the same programs for windows, you might be able to have the companies just give you the windows version of their programs.

CJ, I think giving me your new 700w for my new 650 is the best choice for both of us :)

edit: i mean bavsingh

Just got the Jabra X10 and it is going back tomorrow. Hideous sound both incoming and outcoming. No one can hear me when using it on the streets. I can barely hear others and static interferes with me hearing almost anyone without asking "what did you say." The worst.

I just got one of these yesterday and it doesnt work on my 650. since other people are getting it to work I have to assume it is Verizon. I tried a friends 650, also on verizon and same problem. it beeps, connects, etc. but no voice.

I sent an e-mail to thier support and here is their response:

Andrew,

This is an issue we are beginning to hear. It seems like there is an issue with the Treo 650 and the JX10 when it comes to audio. At this time there is no soluction but we are looking into as we speak.

Sorry,

What is everyone using that allows this to work?

Greetings Jeff:

Is there a way to get notified when Jabra has fixed this problem? I'm a new Verizon Treo 650 user, and have been watching this comment area for several weeks waiting for a consistent, good user response rate.

Thank you.

I have a Motorola V551 & currently have a BT250V Headset which is really good - except for the part that goes around my "small" ear! The Jabra JX10 ear piece looks smaller & thinner.

Anyone have any idea how the JX10 will work w/ the Motorola V551?

Also, if your phone is set to vibrate for incoming calls - how does the headset alert you to incoming telephone calls?

thank you,

Crystal

Got my JX10 three days ago.

I have to say I have mixed feelings.

The unit is not that comfortable unless you have it just so in your ear.

But most of all, it is far too quiet to be usable in all but the most quiet of environments.

I don't think the earpiece goes far enough into the ear canal to form enough of a seal to buffer outside noise and it just doesn't have enough volume.

At this point I am likely to send it back.

If you all are telling me that this is one of the best and loudest units available I cannot believe there are not more complaints.

I have had my JX10 for about 5 days now and it works great with my 650 on Verizon. No pairing problems and the voice quality (incoming and outgoing) is flawless. Highly recomended

Peter Abraham,

look in the plantronics discovery 640.

http://blog.treonauts.com/2005/12/plantronics_dis.html

I have had many headsets and the d640 is in a league by itself when it comes to voice quality, loudness, clarity, and connect speed. It also supports full multifunctionality.

A lot of people are happy with it, and the compusa where I bought mine is selling the heck out of them especially to treo 650 users

I purchased a JX 10 for use with a 650 and Sprint service -- best sound quality I've had with a hands free device (wired or not). While it seems like there are some hit or miss issues with pairing and sound quality, I felt compelled to say I hit the jackpot with mine.

Andrew,

When I got my first JX10 it worked perfectly on my Sprint Treo 650. For exactly four phone calls. On the fifth call the Treo crashed and did its own soft boot. Could not get the earpiece to to sound despite picking up the calls on the phone ( the details screen even indicated connection in the BT trusted device screen ). Sent the first Jx10 back and got the second one two days ago. Pairs ok, but absolutely no sound. Got an email from Tricia at Jabra support: " Jabra has not tested the JX10 with the Treo 650 since the headset was
just released. If you are unable to answer the call then it could be a
compatibility issue which I'll forward to Engineering. I would return
the headset to the retailer for refund or exchange. The BT250V works
very well with your phone." Too bad. Liked the concept. Tom Tom Navigator 5 works spectacularly though, great recomendation!

I just received my Treo700w and Jabra JX10 and cannot pair them. Treo nver detects the headset. Help?!

I bought a JX10 a few weeks back and the first unit didn't work. No sound came out of the earpiece. IXAP sent me another one (even before they had received the defective one - great service)! The new one works sometimes, but not always. If I have recently paired it, it will answer on the second ring. If it's been a day or two since the last pairing the Jabra will answer on the sixth or seventh ring - or not at all - sending the call to voicemail. The same thing happens with outgoing calls. If it wasn't paired that morning chances are the headset will not connect. I also get many complaints from the people I am talking to about static and poor sound quality. I love the look, design, weight, charging stand, etc. It is by far the best looking and most comfortable of any earpiece I've used. It would be great if it worked consistently. I'm going to try pairing it every morning for a while to see if that works. Otherwise I am returning the Jabra. I am using a Treo 650 from Sprint.

BTW - the best luck I've had with a BT headset is the Sony Erricson Akono HBH-662. Works flawlessly. I only wish it was lighter.
