I’m an old-fashioned guy & I love the simplicity of a mono BT headset. I currently use a Philips SBH-1603 which was purchased from Amazon for around 900rs. It recently got drenched in rain & refused to power-on, thats when I bought the Jabra headset as a replacement.
Considering the Jabra is 300rs more expensive, I did have hopes that it will be an improvement upon the Philips. But sadly - it was not. Don’t get me wrong - the Jabra does exactly what it says. But the Philips SBH-1603 was just better.
Heres how:
Does not show the battery level on the phone once connected. The cheaper Philips did.
Talk time is around 6hrs, Philips had 8hrs
The main button is very oddly placed. Pressing it for accepting or rejecting calls is a pain.
The power on/off button is a toggle slider behind the earplug. That’s just poor design.
What does it do well?
What could have been better?
The placement of the action button & power on.off switch
The charging port is on the top. should have been at the bottom
I can live with 6hr talktime but I would want to know the battery charge level on the phone
Honestly, I would still recommend my trusty Philips SBH-1600/1603 over the Jabra. This is still a good product which is constructed well and should do its job well. I guess I had higher expectations for something which costed more.
