TC Review: Jabra BT3010 Bluetooth Headset

Reviewed by Andre Kibbe

High-end headsets, and especially Jabra high-end headsets, are always a treat. But honestly, checking out what's going on in the lower end of the price spectrum can be an even more pleasant surprise. Once you get past noise cancelling and stereo support, the bulk of what most expensive headsets have going for them is the sex appeal of their industrial design. That's not a bad thing, to be sure, but it's nice to see what kind of bang for the buck is offered in the budget realm by comparison.

For the few remaining holdouts who are upgrading from a wired headset, they could do much worse than start with Jabra's entry level BT3010. Not only does it combine simplicity with respectable functionality, but it adds a welcome touch of design schmaltz that bumps things up a notch: a transparent cover for interchangeable surface designs. Let's take a closer look.

The most glaring omission is the lack of car and USB chargers. The BT3010 isn't one of the models for which Jabra makes car and USB chargers as separately sold accessories, so you're stuck with the one charging method. On the other hand, car chargers alone can cost nearly as much as this headset, so the reduced versatility goes hand-in-hand with reduced pricing.

At eight hours of talk time and up to 300 hours of standby time, the BT3010 compares favorably with many costlier headsets. As one example, the Jawbone Noise Shield that's the perennial favorite is rated at six hours of talk time, and 120 hours of standby time. It could be argued that increased battery life matters more than noise cancelling, depending on your usual environment — especially since both headsets are limited to wall chargers, making infrequent charging more desirable.

While Jabra includes a carrying strap — something I've seen few people actually use for a headset — no selection of earbud sizes is provided. Given Jabra's cost constraints, it would have seemed to make more sense to include a small and large earbud than a carrying strap. But the earphone is a little on the large side to begin with, so if you have smaller than normal ears, the BT3010 would not be my first recommendation.

Ah, now we get to the fun part. The BT3010 has a transparent plastic shield that acts as a window for any of the 33 cover designs included on a sheet. It's a simple but smart design. Since the window locks the artwork in place, there's no need for adhesive backing. Nor is it necessary for the manufacturer to commit the design to a plastic faceplate. Designs can be reproduced from any color printer if you happen to grow tired of the nearly three dozen options in the box.
