The Jabra Stone, reinventing the Bluetooth Headset?

Now, I’m sure everyone knows what i mean, or has had some experience looking at the guy walking down the road speaking to himself, wondering who on earth they’re talking to and whether or not they are quite all there, only to breathe a sigh of relief when they turn around and you see that actually your not in any danger, they’re just using a Bluetooth Headset. It’s easily done.

Normally, i detest these Star-Trek wannabe devices because frankly, excluding the rare few, they’re just isn’t any conceivable way that a piece of plastic hanging from your ear could be considered cool or fashionable, that was until now.

This is the Jabra Stone and it is said to break the mould of the traditional headset. I think we can all agree, when docked, it is an incredibly sleek and stylish looking thing isn’t it? The unit looks to be an almost seamless, polished and perfectly formed pebble; which in actual fact was what Jabra sent it’s customers as a marketing stunt.

As far as specs go, you can expect 8 hours of talk time, thanks to the re-charging on-the-go capabilities of the Dock, as well as up to 12 days on standby. It also has something built in known as Noise Blackout Extreme Technology which doesn’t just sound cool, it apparently completely eliminates background noise. Apparently there is also what Jabra describe as a “nearly invisible” touch-controlled volume pad.

Expect to pay around the £99 mark for this bit of kit, which may sound expensive, but is worth it in our opinion.
