Jabra JX10 Bluetooth Headset Review

If you are into using VOIP via your computer you may not realize that with a Bluetooth dongle for your computer or notebook that you can use a Bluetooth headset like the Jabra JX10 to make calls via your computer. The cool part is that by doing this you can make calls on your PC and your cellular phone with one headset.

The Jabra JX10 is a very cool looking Bluetooth headset that is small and comfortable to wear yet doesn’t give up call quality for the sake of small size. For testing the Jabra JX10 I used my PC and Skype as well as my Motorola Razr cellular phone.

The JX10 is an in the ear design with a clip that goes around your ear for added security. The earpiece weighs in at a mete 10 grams, which is 1/3 of an ounce, and it is less than 1.5” in length. Once you get the JX10 in your ear you quickly forget you are wearing it.

Jabra uses DSP technology to automatically control the volume of the JX10 to match the environment you are calling from and reduce background noise, and it does this very well. Controls on the top of the JX10 allow you to answer calls from your cellular phone and allow for one touch paring of the JX10 to your PC or your phone.

Talk time is up to six hours and up to 200 hours on standby. You can charge the JX10 via your PC USB connector or a desk cradle. Jabra also made the charge cradle attractive, which is a change, form the cords you normally see with Bluetooth headsets.

In my testing I had no problem synchronizing the JX10 to my Acer TravelMate notebook via the internal Bluetooth receiver. Call quality was as good with the Jabra JX10 with VOIP as it is with my dedicated PC headset. The Jabra JX10 feels good in the ear and is comfortable for extended use. I found call quality to be fantastic whether I was in my office using VOIP or in the car talking on my cellular phone.
