TC Review: Jabra BT3030 Stereo Headset for Centro, Treo

Reviewed by Andre Kibbe

Jabra's design for the BT3030 is a stroke of genius. It's basically a lanyard-worn pendant that acts as a wireless controller that feeds its audio to a 3.5mm wired headset. Why didn't someone think of this before?

The answer is simple: someone has thought of this before. Sony Ericsson offers the pendant-style HBH-DS970 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones that are top notch. Unlike the Jabra, the SE features an LED screen with caller ID. It's also more expensive than the Jabra by half.

The BT3030 is designed to look and be worn like a dog tag. The lanyard is actually a chain, and the front and rear surfaces are brushed steel. The microphone is built into the black plastic frame that encloses the front and rear plates, keeping the load off the headphone wire. The controller inlay on the front plate resembles the flat keypad of the Motorola Razr. The translucent company logo, button icons and borders are multicolor LEDs that function as status indicators, glowing blue by default in normal use. The logo, for instance, is solid green when fully charged, flashing green when charging, yellow when 70% charged red when power is low.

Setting up the Jabra was a no-brainer. Out of the box, pairing took less than a minute. The unit enters an auto-pairing mode when it's powered on for the first time, so it's detected rapidly when you run the Treo's Handsfree Setup utility and enter the four-zero passkey. Charging is supposed to take two hours, but I got less than four hours of music after my first two-hour charge. I charged it for another two hours, making sure the logo went solid green, and managed to go for six hours before the unit chimed its cue for recharging.

Virtually all Jabra headsets north of $60 have great clarity for music due to noise reduction that works as advertised. It's a good idea to make your baseline volume setting on the phone itself, around 65%, then make further adjustments with when necessary with the headset. Pumping up the volume primarily on the handset tends to introduce distortion. Like most headsets, the Jabra keeps the volume across the frequency range rather uniform, so I like to boost the lower midrange in pTunes' EQ to give the sound some weight.
