Reviews of the Jabra BT8030 Bluetooth headphones/speaker

  • 7.7

    CNET Review

    February 8, 2008

    The Good: The Jabra BT8030 is a combined Bluetooth speaker and headphones with great sound quality, especially in headphones mode.

    The Bad: The Jabra BT8030 is a bit too bulky for our tastes. The Jabra's buttons are in an inconvenient location. In speaker mode, the sound quality could be improved. Also, it's a little on the expensive side.

    The Bottom Line: The Jabra BT8030 is great for those who want a Bluetooth speaker and headphones all in one device, but beware of certain design pitfalls.
