Best stereo Bluetooth headphones for cell phones
- Good music quality
- Earbuds included
- Can be used with other earbuds/headphones
- Easy-to-use controls
- Fair call quality
- Weak bass
- Microphone placement
The Jabra BT3030 is a dog-tag-shaped Bluetooth transmitter shipped with earbuds. These headphones can let you take calls as well as stream music, though unlike the Logitech FreePulse wireless headphones (*est. $85), they will only work with A2DP-compatible phones and media players. Music quality is good, though the bass is weak. Reviewers have mixed reactions to call quality. The 3.5mm headphone jack allows you to use any headphones you want, but most reviewers praise the included earbuds. The controls are easy to work, but reviewers note the microphone on the Jabra BT3030 headphones has to be positioned close to your mouth or you could get complaints from callers.
Cnet.com and Australia's GoodGearGuide.com.au provide useful and detailed reviews of the Jabra BT3030. The reviews at WMExperts.com and TreoCentral.com are also worth a read. Amazon.com users also provide feedback, but there aren't a ton of reviews as of yet.

CNet's Nicole Lee says the music quality of the Jabra BT3030 is about the same as what's produced by most MP3 players, but she's disappointed that outgoing call quality was mixed. She also likes that the BT3030 can be used with almost any earbuds or headphones, but she adds that the included earbuds are comfortable.

Andrew Kibbe compares the design of the Jabra BT3030 with that of the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. He likes the controls on the BT3030 headphones better and feels they're best worn with the clip rather than lanyard-style. He is more impressed with incoming call quality than some other reviewers.

Tim Ferrill spends most of this review focusing on the Jabra BT3030's design. He doesn't give any feedback about music quality but notes call quality was better on the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. He also describes delays when using the controls but notes this is typical of Bluetooth devices.
