Jabra BT160 Bluetooth Headset

overview

See all Jabra products

Add to my list Product summary

The good: The Jabra BT160 comes with 33 different design faceplates, plus you have the option of designing your own. It has a flexible ear hook, a comfortable fit, easy-to-press buttons, and solid audio quality.

The bad: It takes a while to get the right fit with the Jabra BT160, and it doesn't sound great in noisy environments.

The bottom line: Besides offering decent audio quality and a comfortable fit, the Jabra BT160's multiple design faceplates set it apart from most other Bluetooth headsets.

  • Reviewed on: 05/09/2006

Most Bluetooth headsets look the same, so when we see one that's eye-catching and attractive, we tend to take notice. Jabra got our attention last year with the JX10's sleek, silver design, and the company has done it again with one of its more recent headsets, the BT160. While its shape may not be anything new (indeed, it's very close to the Jabra BT350's), the BT160 is the first Bluetooth headset that comes packaged with 33 covers, each with different colors and patterns. The Jabra BT160 retails for $59, but you can get it for $39 after online discounts.

From Tango to Argyle, the 33 covers come in a variety of patterns and colors, and you can even go to Jabra.com to design your own for an additional price. We like the fact that Jabra offers plain color designs as alternatives to the patterned ones, just in case you want more conservative options. To switch designs, you simply remove a plastic covering on top of the headset, insert a new design, and replace the covering.

    Summary: In my opinion the BT160 is what it is… a unique, very fun and fashionable way to move up to a Bluetooth headset without looking like a Borg. If the 33 included faceplates don't do it for you, go wild and make your own. The customization possibilities ...
