Jabra - Stealth+ Bluetooth Headset - Black

I'm a bluetooth headset junkie. I've owned a ton of different headsets in my days. I've always been a Plantronics fan because I think they make great quality headsets that are comfortable to wear and affordable. That being said, I recently had to do away with my Plantronics Discovery 975 (which I absolutely loved) because it wouldn't hold a charge anymore...I had it for years. Anyways, I did A LOT of research on different headsets out there because I wanted the best of all worlds: volume, voice quality, battery life, comfort, price, features, etc. I came across the Jabra Stealth, but then when I did some more research I realized that Best Buy was selling the 'Stealth +'. At first I thought it was a typo or a marketing gimmick for just the matte black color but, after doing some more research, I realized this was a newer (and better) addition. I confirmed this through the MPN. I decided to take the plunge after seeing the price come down by $20 (originally selling for $99) and boy am I glad I did. This thing is awesome! Feels so comfortable I wear it all day long and won't be sore one bit (unlike many others I've tried in the past). Battery life is phenomenal, and when you press the answer/hang-up button the lady tells you how much battery life you have left (so much better than having to download an app on the phone to show you a separate battery meter). Voice quality is phenomenal! No one ever knows I'm on a bluetooth headset! It's discrete, the matte black is uber cool, and I absolutely love the fit...goes right into the ear and sits there perfectly. Best part is, when you press the other button either Siri or Google Now (depending on if you have an iPhone or Android) gets activated and you never have to pick up your phone to get things done...so amazing!! BASICALLY, buy this badboy and you won't regret it. Kudos to Jabra for making one hell of a bluetooth headset that ticks off all the essentials, and then some!!

okay so does this headset work well yes honestly there's only been two I like better. moto sliver 2 favorite and Jaw bone Icon HD. theven stealth looks good and the sound was very good. no complaints from people I called and I had no complaints about call voice or music streaming. So Audio get a 5 star. I was worried about background noise as this stealth only has 2 mics for sound quality and my favorite ones have always had 3 or jaw bone has noise assassin, but this performed very well driving and outside. no complaints. so looked good worked well why not 5 star? The fit !!! If this head set fits your ear you will probably love it but for me my ear would ach after more than an hour of wear. I wear my all day from wake up to sleep. this headset has a Huge inner ear bud. way to big for me or my wife's ears. we both tried it and it seriously hurts to the point I have to take it out and massage my inner ear before putting it back in and then it starts to hurt again quickly. I like the ear loop and smallest ear piece but smallest is still way to big for my ear. I'm surprised that they didn't start with a smaller ear bud and make increasingly bigger gels. My only thought was that because of the small design and shape that they needed to put component's in the ear bud and I feel it just made it too big. all that explained if it fits your ear I think you will love it if not try the moto sliver 2 best bluetooth ever, but even that has a flaw it breaks super easy and I take very special care of mine because of that. drop it hard and it will be in two pieces very quickly. other quality options are jaw bone icon HD, plantronics voyager (huge design.)

This is an INITIAL quality review. I was using a different brand unit and the audio was awful. The fragile plastic ear hook types of devices were always breaking and not comfortable. No more. Enter the Jabra Stealth. The unit comes with a 1 year factory warranty. I read a good number of reviews both here and elsewhere on the web. With about 10,000 between three sites, (did not read them all) there's 10% that are 1 star; that's 1000 reviews. I don't read the 5 star "blue sky" reports. I go right to the 1 star ones. Despite them, the Stealth gets very good marks overall for audio quality on both send and receive and that's one of my pet peeves regarding these devices. It's got to be good or it goes back. Keep in mind, millions of these doodads are made daily; by machines. There are bound to be bad ones. Now for the good stuff. The audio quality in both directions is the BEST I have ever heard, having owned about 15 to 20 of these things over the past 15 years. They get lost, break or sometimes, just stop working. I have never paid over $100 for one. Yeah, could have bought a couple iPhones with that. Today I hit the top of my limit - $100. Depending on the phone you're pairing with, you may have volume control. I am using an iPhone6 and there is no volume control in iOS 9. So, you'll have to adjust listening volume from the phone. Blinky blue LED lets you know it's on. Very easy to pair. NFC pairing is also optional on phones so equipped. The device comes with two (one left, one right) OPTIONAL use ear hooks as well as two sizes of earbuds with a little hook-type thing that helps hold it in your ear. These are to be used when you're NOT using the optional plastic ear hook. It fits easily and very comfortably in my ear and I tend to be hard to fit. The accessories include a 2 port, USB cigarette lither type charger which can be used for other USB devices. Gone are the days of the clunky AC wall wart adapters. It's a USB only world folks. Jabra directs you to the App Store for the official "Jabra Assist" app but I have not found much use for it yet. It does have a "find my device" function but I have used it. Supposedly useful for when we misplace the dang thing. Who hasn't done that. Could come in useful. I would recommend this product based purely on its initial quality. Hopefully it'll provide good service beyond the warranty period.

I could write a super geeky review of all the bluetooth headsets I've gone through in the past few months (in order to find one that actually works with the features I want/need), but, I'll spare you 30 minutes of your time and cut to the chase. Here is a list of the other ones I've owned: Plantronics M55 Plantronics Voyager Legend Plantronics Voyager Edge Jawbone Era BlueAnt Q3 What I wanted from my headset: #1 interaction with Google voice AND reading texts to me while driving or while working in home office. These two were by far the most important. Next #2 battery life and voice/sound quality and lastly, #3 fit (I'd sacrifice fit for all the others, so it goes at the end of the list). While some of the others were GREAT headsets (Plantronics Voyager Edge was superior to all the rest), I had to have "suped up" apps to get them to work with Google voice and reading texts. These apps were such a pain to navigate in/out each time I wanted to use my actual phone and always sucked battery life when running. SO....... I FINALLY found the Jabra Stealth. It has a built in button to interact with Google voice, so there's no need for an app to connect. After trying 6 or more various apps for TTS (text to speech), I found one that is simple, clear and does what it is supposed to. It connects when BT is turned on and disables when BT is turned off. Doesn't drain battery either because it's not constantly running apps within the program. The app is "SMS Listen" and it was $2.49 on the Google Play store. The texts read aloud when they are received and then you can reply in Google voice. Truly a hands-free bluetooth! So easy even a non-techy can navigate and make it work! This BT is amazing all around. Interacts with Google and TTS, sound quality is perfect, volume is great, it's small and light yet sturdy, battery lasts forever....and bonus, it's a very comfortable fit. I'm over the moon about finding one that can do exactly what I want it to do! WAY TO GO JABRA, THANK YOU!!

This is my first Jabra. I've used the Plantronics Edge for years and it's good but I've had some hardware issues with 2-3. They didn't have the Edge when my last one broke so I thought I'd try the Jabra. The sound is decent and people on the other end seem to hear me well. The range is average and similar to other headsets I've used. Overall the basic functionality is decent. This headset fails in the following areas: - The option to pick up calls by voice has never worked well. Call comes in, a voice says "say answer or ignore", and it declines the call half the time when I say answer or does not register my response and I have to manually answer the call. - As others have noted, there are no volume keys on the headset. This is a shortcoming that makes the wireless Bluetooth use less than user friendly. - The last two are things I can deal with but my biggest complaint are the ear tips. While they are decently comfortable in-ear they do not stay secured on the headset. Take it out of your ear, put it in your pocket, put it anywhere and the earpiece just slides off. In comparison to the Edge which has a very secure fitting earpiece, the Jabra earpiece is very loose, comes off too easily, and is very easy to lose. I've lost it several times but luckily after backtracking, I've found it again. For a device this expensive (around $100 when I bought it) it's irritating to constantly deal with the earpiece falling off along with the other issues.

Ok, so here's the thing. Bluetooth headsets seem to be a dying fad due to all these new cars with fancy technology packages, i.e. built in bluetooth, etc. But what about the rest of us who own an earlier model vehicle who are still plugging our phones in via aux cables and turning up the speakers in our cars, and placing the phone on our chest between the seatbelt so we have our improvised version of hands free talking?!? Yeah, this is the solution! And by this, I don't mean a bluetooth headset. I mean THIS BLUETOOTH HEADSET. The Jabra Stealth bluetooth headset is hands down the best one out there. In fact, I purchased one nearly two weeks ago and LOST IT, yes lost it, but loved it sooo incredibly much, that I went back and purchased another one! Yeah, that hurt my pocket (and pride) a bit because I take pride in taking care of my things and saying I've never lost or broken anything in my life, but hey, it happens. Anyway, the connection is solid (and pretty awesome). It works terrific with my iPhone 6 Plus as far as the Siri capability and answering/ending calls. It's tiny in size (which I love), and as an added plus, I can listen to my music via the bluetooth, so working all day with music in my ear just made my life a whole lot better! All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this product!

Had owned nothing but Plantronics products for years. Previous unit broke. Needed a replacement. Looked at a lot of reviews and ratings and decided on the Jabra Stealth (and wanted the Best Buy exclusive, all-black version!). Glad I did. Pros: - Very lightweight. - Stays in my ear very well, even without the supplied earhook. (Took just a bit to rotate the earpiece the right angle.) - I can insert and remove it in seconds. - The sound on my end is very good. A bit more "bass" than my old one. - I've had several people remark that it sounds MUCH better than my old unit, which is great. - Once I turn it on, it finds and connects to my phone almost instantly. - Spoken notifications of power on, connected to phone, power off. - Spoken alerts from my phone are played through it, as are notification sounds. (Have not yet attempted to master the voice command capabilities.) Cons: - The little plastic strap that connects the cover over the charging port to the unit is tiny, possibly prone to breakage if someone isn't careful with how they manipulate it and plug in the charging cable. I took an old, spare phone charger and tapered the plastic down to make it much more slim, in order to not put pressure on that part when plugged in. - Does not come with duplicate, replacement earpieces (in the event one is lost or damaged). - Charging cable is very short (which might be good or bad, depending on how you use it). - The supplied earhook is a bit of an awkward fit. But I found I didn't need it, and many people don't like earhooks anyway. All depends on your ears! Definitely recommend giving this a try.

I have tried several types of Bluetooths, but this one is by far the BEST one I've ever had. It fits comfortably in my ear and I can control the volume of it from the volume buttons on my iPhone. By the way, I have an iPhone 6 right now. It cancels the noise around me so the person I am talking to cannot make out what noise is around me. I also like the fact that it announces the person that is calling me. The only negative things I can say is, it does not always cancel the noise that I hear from my callers, but they really have to be making A LOT of noise or be very close to the mic of their phone. Also, I wish they would put at least 2 of each kind of rubber ear pieces in the box. I lost the medium size one and the other choices did not fit as well in my ear. So DON'T lose your favorite ear piece! One more thing, after 3 years of use, the power switch broke off. But hey....I was able to use it for over 3 years, so I really can't complain. All in all, this is the best one to get!
