Summary: Simply Awful
Comment: I would refrain from buying anything from Jabra again in the future unless it was absolutely necessary. I received a defectve model; it does not charge no matter what steps are taken. The plastic is simply cheap and flimsy for $50 as well. The company's tech support is also sorely lacking; 8-5 Monday through Friday does not help someone who receives their headset through the mail after work Friday. Do NOT let this be your first headset, because such a shoddy product and such poor customer service was enough to turn me away from this type of product now.

Summary: Works, but...
Comment: It's got the functions, but it has a tendancy to reset to it's original settings for volume when you use menus, when you power down/up, and also when you reconnect.

Summary: A good wireless headset
Comment: I really like the Jabra BT130. It is so light that sometimes I forget I have it in my ear. After an hour or so it starts to bother me, but that is to be expected. The sound quality is great. I have no problem hearing while I drive. It paired up very easily with my phone initially and connects easily every time. The flashing light on it can be a bit annoying when I am driving at night, but not too bad. I recommend it 100%.

Summary: Jabra BT130 Bluetooth Headset
Comment: This is a real value for the price. The only downside is that the blue light blinks all the time when the headset is on. Otherwise it is comfortable to wear and the sound quality is very good.

Summary: Good reliable BT headset
Comment: Overall this headset is pretty good. It paired easily with my RAZR V3c and operated with no problems. At one point I changed the 'name' of my phone and the headset had to be re-paired with the phone. That took a little twiddling but after a few power cycles of the phone and handset it worked fine.

My biggest complaint is that the earpiece isn't as comfortable as it could be. The part that sticks in your ear is just a large knob-like thing that doesn't have any contours to fit your ear shape; it just kinda leans against your ear. Other Jabra products I've used in the past have nicely contoured jels and I was hoping to be able to use one of those on this piece. The piece is not entirely uncomfortable; I only use it on my commute to and from work and it doesn't bother me too much, but I can't vouch for those of you wanting to use this 8 hours a day.

Overall though I like it and for the price it does everything I need it to do and is very reliable.

Editorial Reviews:

Now you can express your own personal style while getting great Bluetooth headset performance from a leader in Bluetooth phone accessories, Jabra. The BT130 continues Jabra's long traditon of building comfortable, easy-to-use, and fashionable headsets. With a sleek look, an ear-friendly design, and interchangeable color plates for the headset's outer casing, the BT130 deserves a serious look by anyone who wants to increase their mobile productivity and freedom.

The BT130's earhook rotates for comfortable wearing on either ear. Meanwhile, an LED light on the unit indicates battery status, charging status, and call status. Volume up/down buttons are easily accessible, while a single control button allows you to answer and end calls, reject calls (phone dependent), dial by voice, and redial the last number called. With a total weight of just 18 grams, you'll barely notice the BT130 is on your ear! Four replaceable, colored cover plates allow you to dress up the BT130 to suit your style.

With talk time of four to six hours and a standby time of 110 hours, you can talk freely all day before you'll need a charge. An AC charger is included with the unit. The BT130's Bluetooth capability means that you can roam up to 30 feet away from your phone and still talk -- no wires! The headset also supports the newer Bluetooth 1.2 specification.
