I've been in the market for a pair of Stereo Bluetooth headphones..I've looked at and read reviews on headsets by Sony Ericsson, LG, Motorola, Nokia and many many more. I'm looking for something that I can use to listen to music and take calls at the same time, I don't want to be swapping out my headset for a particular function...I just want one headset to rule them all...
That said, I thought that the Jaybird Stereo Bluetooth headset was just what I wanted...they seemed to be the answer to all my wants in a headset: sweatproof, nice looking, reasonable, long-lasting batterywise and so on.
So, then I started looking online to purchase these...I had made the decision in my mind. What made it even easier was the fact that they were available at Target and more importantly were on sale for $110...it was a no-brainer...
I was stunned by the pack-ins: the charger, extra ear buds, and the build of the actual headset and I even enjoyed the clarity of the music (although it seemed weak on bass and better at treble, now that I think about it)...the voice, was a toss up, some people said I sounded like I was far away, others said I sounded fine. But, then after extended use, that wasn't the real problem, the real problem was the fit. It not only hurt after extended use, but it made my ears stick out.
I'm telling you, I really really wanted to like this product but compromises to the fit to me is not acceptable especially because this would be my only headset for taking calls and listening to music. Therefore, I'm returning the headset and the search continues...Now, I do want to point out that this headset may fit nicely for some people but I just wasn't one of those people.
Overall, I'd rate this headset at 80% satisfaction...the reason I'm personally not giving it a higher rating is because it doesn't fit me quite right. I think that the build quality is excellent for what it's supposed to do and impressive in it's own right...
In any case, watch my video review below, Enjoy!

I was surprised and disappointed by the fact that phone calls are only heard through the left ear instead of both ears. I agree that the fit is uncomfortable. I also have problem with blue-tooth range... phone in my pants pocket is too far away.
