Jabra BT8010

Pros: See cnet's review

Cons: See cnet's and mine

Summary: Don't get me wrong. I love this thing. Sound coming in and going out are just great. I've had trouble with other headsets for phone calls. Either I couldn't hear them or they couldn't hear me or both. So far, no sound problems with the BT8010.

My complaint is with it's inability to be paired with more than two devices. Initially, when I read the instructions I thought it meant that it couldn't be functioning with more than two at a time, which makes sense. Nope. When I tried pairing a third device, It dropped one of my other ones. Looks like I have to pair and re-pair devices depending on what I'm doing. Lame.

As a sidenote, I have to continually switch the 'default' sound device when using this headset with my laptop. It'd be nice if you could set preferences between all the apps on the laptop that'll use the headset and have it switch from the on-board speakers to the headset when connected. It doesn't do that. Not the fault of the BT8010 I know, but just thought I'd vent for an extra moment.

Maybe Bluetooth just isn't where I had hoped it was. Still, all and all, a great product.
