For years we’ve been looking for a high-quality, comfortable Bluetooth headset with decent battery life and which is easy to use. Believe it or not, they’re hard to find. What lets most headsets down is comfort – there’s no point buying a headset if you’re not going to wear it because it’s uncomfortable. Equally, there’s little point in getting a headset that’s difficult to use (especially if you’re planning on using it while in the car).
The Jabra BT5020 Bluetooth headset fulfills all the criteria set out above. It’s small, it’s lightweight, it’s comfortable to wear for extended periods (after a few minutes I’ll likely forget that you’re wearing it altogether), it’s easy to use and the battery life is good.
What makes the Jabra BT5020 different to most other Bluetooth headsets is that rather than hanging off you ear, the Jabra fits comfortably around your ear. Not only does this improve comfort, it also makes the headset fit more securely so it’s unlikely to fall off. It can also be fitted to either ear.
Oh, and before we forget, the sound quality from the Jabra BT5020 is excellent!
