Mention the word Jabra and most of us will immediately associate it with Bluetooth headsets – after all, they’re pretty much one of the pioneers in this arena back when Bluetooth functionality was considered to be a luxury in the world of cell phones. They’re still in the game at point of publishing, and their latest effort is the Jabra HALO – a wireless Bluetooth stereo headset that enables users to enjoy their favorite audio tracks sans wires while answering phone calls in crisp, clear sound. The Jabra HALO relies on A2DP technology that allows it to seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth music-playing device, while playing nice with all 3.5 mm music-playing devices at the same time.

Developed by GN Netcom, the Jabra HALO comes with an over-the-head design that won’t look out of place with the rest of your modern electronics. It is equipped with an intuitive on/off functionality, a discreet display which does nothing more than relay the remaining amount of battery life left as well as connectivity status, and a touch volume control. Thanks to its foldable headband design and lightweight materials, the Jabra HALO tips the scales at just 3 ounces and is compact enough to bring with you wherever you go. In addition, you will be able to switch between wireless and wired connectivity with the HALO assuming a device does not support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) technology.

• Bluetooth wireless technology
• A2DP for music streaming
