Jabra BT160 Bluetooth Headset review

The Jabra BT160 looks a lot like the Jabra BT350, as previously mentioned. It has the same oval form factor, dimensions and weight (2.48 by 1.02 by 0.47 inches; 0.56 ounce), omnidirectional microphone, flexible ear loop, and controls. As with the BT350, the earpiece rests against the ear, so it took us a while to get the right fit. A couple differences are that the BT160 has a black body instead of a silver one. Please read our review of the Jabra BT350 for a more detailed roundup of the design aspects that remain the same.

We tested the Jabra BT160 with the LG CG300, and the pairing process was painless. Calls sounded good as long as the headset was positioned correctly, which as mentioned can take a while. Callers heard us loud and clear, though we had some problems in noisier environments. Aside from answering and ending calls, the BT160 supports voice dialing, last-number redial, and placing a call on hold. The Jabra BT160 has a rated talk time of 8 hours and a rated standby time of four days.
