Add to my list Product summary

The good: The JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset offers a low-profile design and clear audio response. Bluetooth pairing is easy, and dropouts are infrequent.

The bad: The JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset won't fit all users, and it's lacking in bass response. Volume is limited.

The bottom line: The JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset is a reasonable choice for users who want wireless music without the bulk, but bass addicts should look elsewhere.

The category of stereo Bluetooth earbuds is still growing, so it's nice to see a newcomer to the market focusing on just that. JayBird debuted in 2007 with the JB-100 headset, a compact stereo earbud set, as well as complementing adapters for the iPod and other audio devices (sold separately). At $129.99, the JB-100 falls comfortably between two close competitors: the Etymotic Ety8 and the Plantronics Voyager 855. This headset has its pitfalls, but if you can get a comfortable fit, it's a worthwhile consideration.

One thing is for certain: the JayBird JB-100 offers a nice, low-profile design--especially compared with the Etymotic Ety8. The bulk of the earpieces is contained in the two crescent-moon-shaped units that curve behind the ear when worn. Passersby probably won't even notice them, particularly if the user has long hair. To keep the bulk to a minimum, JayBird elected to not offer playback controls on the headset. Instead, you get a Call/Power button and volume up/down controls on the right ear piece. A thin cable, meant to be worn behind the head below the hair line, connects the right to the left ear piece. The left unit features a small battery contact panel, which connects to a corresponding section on the included charging dock.
