Reviewer: A. Daye,

Great product and great price. I went to [...] to see what would be the best bluetooth and they highly recommended this product. I was using a Jawbone II and have put it away, because this product gives me better service.

I have recommended this product to others and they have purchased one from this vendor.

paired great with my BB Curve

At first I couldn't get it to pair using the enclosed users manual, so it referred you to their website. Once I followed the steps on the website for my specific phone, it only took less than a minute and works just great! It's a deal, I can't afford those fancy Jawbone headsets. You can pair it with multiple devices very easily as well. Just toggle and go.

Does a lot in a very small package

This is the only in-the-ear I've ever come across that stays put for me. It's strikingly tiny and lightweight. I have to echo what I've heard regarding the fact that it doesn't quite feel like it will stay in but somehow it just does. That minimal footprint translates into a fair amount of comfort as well. The battery life and sound quality for calls is good but not great. More than adequate for me and I should add that the range is outstanding. The ability to play music is nice and I find myself actually using it more than I thought I would. Music sound quality was a pleasant surprise. The buttons have received some criticism, but on a headset of this size I can't see any place to put them that would be better. It's so small and light that you're not going to be pushing a button anywhere that isn't going to move it. The fact that you have to push in towards your ear a little doesn't bother me and other than that the action is light and positive. This is not a Voyager 510, nor does it try to be. If you are looking for a tiny headset that works very well I don't think you're going to beat this one - especially at the price.

Excellent Bluetooth Headset for iPhone

I bought this used refurbished bluetooth headset after hearing it from a friend. Turns out everything he said about its features was true. Easy to use, long standby time and just perfect clarity. My biggest concern with other bluetooth headset in the past was simply what other parties said about the sound quality. After using the BT8040, my callers was simply surprised I was using a wireless headset when I told them about it. I am currently using it with my iPhone 3G. You can even use it to listen to your ipod music.

Good headset

Got the Jabra BT8040 with the EarGel adapter suggested under the "Frequently Bought Together ". Some bulk package versions of the headset come with one one ear adapter. So I thought I'd buy the suggested EarGel (3-pairs set) http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-1202-EarGels-Clear/dp/B00004WINT/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b . Turns out my headset comes with about 6 custom silicon adapters of different sizes. Some sellers say only the retail box version of the headset comes with extra silicon adapters.
Now the EarGels I bought extra are really Jabra's brand universal adapters for Jabra's own headsets and they are good for a few headset models. They are bulky so I prefer the ones that come with the headset itself. So I turned out buying the extra EarGels that I did not need. You would want to somehow confirm with the seller what exactly comes with the headset itself.
Functions: The noise canceling works well. Headset easy to pair. Once pair, it connects to the phone automatically in the future. Does not matter if both the phone and the headset have been turn off and then on again. As long as the headset is on and the phone bluetooth is hot, they connect again. Work quite well with voice dial (only if you phone allows voice dial). The 4-color light on it is informative once you get the user manual from Jabra's website to read about their meaning first. This is the second headset I have that does not require an ear hook. The last one was Bluespoon AX2. Both are snug. This one is a better one though. The bluetooth music works fine but is mono. So getting two of these will not get you stereo. The volume control has no clear marking which one is up and which is down. The manual is not clear wither. Just try them out to find out.
