Total Rating: 8 of 10

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — October, 2008

Rated 4 of 5


If you are in the market for a cheap Bluetooth headset with good noise cancellation, you might want to take a look at the Jabra BT530. It has a satin black finish and perforated metallic strip running down the middle, giving it an elegant look. Volume controls are placed on the main face of the headset and a dedicated sliding power switch is located on the side. It comes with two hard earhooks and six tips in three sizes which felt sturdy, though the reviewer noted that the hard inner ear piece grew uncomfortable over time. The multipoint technology of the BT530 allows pairing for up to 8 different devices at once. It also employs Jabra’s proprietary Noise Blackout technology, which eliminates background noise using dual noise-canceling microphones. The Intelligent Volume Control of the BT530 detects noise level and automatically adjusts the volume, though the reviewer stated that the volume was too loud on their end. The BT530 has a range of 33 feet, a rated talk time of 5.5 hours and a standby time of 10.4 days. For a budget Bluetooth headset that offers good noise canceling performance, a sleek design and the ability to pair with up to eight devices at once, the BT530 delivers a great deal.
Pros:
-sturdy
-stylish design
-decent noise-cancellation technology
-multipoint technology allows up to 8 devices simultaneously
Cons:
-uncomfortable inner earpiece
