Lightweight Miracle
By Sam
I purchased this headset to replace a broken BT500V, that I'd used every day for the past two years. When this arrived, I was so surprised on how light it was, and how clear the sound quality. Everyone I've talked to so far swears I'm not using a Bluetooth headset and they can't tell when I'm outdoors or in the car with the window down.

Pros:
Very lightweight (almost too light)
Very comfortable (worn it 8-12 hrs per day so far, and hardly notice it is there)
Volume is good, but could be a bit louder for me. Volume buttons are easy to find and push.
Charging is by STANDARD MicroUSB connector. Finally, I can charge my phone, headset, and dozens of other devices with the same cord!
Answer/End button is where it should be... on the end of the boom (just like the BT500V)
Talk-time is per manufacturer specs. I talked on it for just over 6-hrs before the "low battery" warning was heard.
Audible Warnings - what a perfect idea... now I don't have to worry if my headset will last through a conference call because I get warnings in my ear when I have approximately 30-min of battery left.
Stand-by time has not been tested fully, but I expect it to be right on target.
On/Off switch is an actual switch! Finally, someone used their heads and got away from the dreaded push-and-hold button for on/off.
Light does not blink all the time... which is a good thing for the car so my kids don't complain about the flashing light. Light only comes on (steady) when you are on a call.
Headset appears to be smaller/lighter version of the BT250V, which is/was very durable and flexible, not like the rigid parts of the BT500V or 5020 Executive model. I still have a BT250V, and use it as a back-up (although battery doesn't hold charge too long, but what do you expect after 5-years of use?).

Cons:
Foam microphone cover makes it a bit harder to find/push the answer/end button, but I'll get use to it.
Very light - if you are not careful, you'll knock it off or NOT be wearing it when you think you are! I've already "pushed thin air" to try to make a call more than once!
NO VIBRATE FEATURE - I know if it had vibrate, it would be heavier and larger, but hey, in very noisy situations, you can't hear the ring-tone. The vibrate feature of the BT250/500V was what made the units "special" (and worth the extra ounce of weight).

Overall, I am very pleased with the fit and function of the Wave Headset. I've tried other brands and styles, but Jabra has everyone else beat on comfort, function, sound, quality, and durability of their headsets. If you're on-the-fence regarding Jabra products, try one... buy one... you'll never go back to Plantronics or Motorola!

truck driver review
By dan the man
I didnt wanna give my Jabra wave bluetooth a review until ive used it for a few months.Well its been 5 months and this bluetooth is perfect for me!!!!Im a local truck driver so the trucks i drive are very loud on the inside.So i needed a bluetooth that could drown out background noise very well but also allow me to be able to here what the person is saying who im talking to.Also i wanted a bluetooth that was stylish enough to wear when im not at work.Well this bluetooth does it all with style.Ive never had one problem with a caller telling me that they here any background noise.Actually ive recieved nothing but compliments about the sound quality of my earpiece.Also I can here what the other person is saying very well.It also fits nice in my ear which was an added bonus for me..Ive read the reviews before i bought it and some liked it and some didnt.I tried it out because almost everyone said the sound quality was very well with very little to no background noise.Yes they was right and i hope my bluetooth never stops working lol.

Large and okay fit, but great sound!
By Morley Dotes
Rigt off the bat let me explain why I gave it four stars instead of 3. Sounds quality. It's that simple, and it's good enough to bump this up a full star. While I love my current headset, I can tell you that the sound quality for the Jabra WAVE is EXCELLENT and as much as I hate to say it, better than my Oasis. Overall, the Oasis is the better of the two, as it is more compact, more comfortable, and better designed.....with that said, I keep comming back to the sound quality....both from my end, as well as the the person who is listening. When my wife called me with the headset, the sound quality sounded very close to that of a landline phone! That, for me is impressive. Unfortunately, a few things make this a little touchy, and keep it away from a 5 star product. First, the mic/boom is pretty long, which is not such a big deal, but when it rubs on my scruff when I am walking nobody will hear a word you are saying because of the noise from the scruff. With the sock over the mic, things get better, but that just adds a lot of bulk. It does make a difference over noise, but one can easily hear a television or radio in the background, even when it is not that loud. None of this is a deal breaker for me, except the following: I felt like I had to keep adjusting it as it did not really form into my ear and kept slipping just enough to make it hard to hear. I tried both ear pieces, and no help. Making calls is easy, and the sock over the mic did not affect the voice recognition at all. So, this really should be a 3 star product, and I do not easily give 4 or 5 stars, and I cannot remember bumping up a full star like this....but, hoenstly, the sound quality really is the best I have ever heard.....I quick note regarding Jabra customer service which I think is worth mentioning. A while back I had a Jabra Voyager and it died after several months of sparse use. I emailed the company and they asked for my home address. Thinking they would send me some paperwork, I waited, and about 4 days later I received a replacement (refurb, but worked perfectly)! I did not factor that into my review rating, but certainly that kind of service deserves to mentioned. Oh, one more thing, my wife and I both have Samsung Reality phones, and the adaptars that came with the WAVE can be used to charge the phone. So, if you have a similar port and are in need to a car or home charger (it comes with both), you have another reason to consider this product. Pairing was also a piece of cake, and the directions were short and sweet!
