Yes, the earbuds are terrible, and I mean truly terrible.
However, there is a solution.
Use the Jabra bluetooth unit, but plug in your own earbuds!
There now that is out of the way we can talk about a few of the features of the Jabra Clipper. I really like the idea of the product, since it gives you a means to use a bluetooth unit to switch between music and phone calls. This is perfect for people traveling (trains, subway, and in the airport) and for those who are very active (running, biking, the gym…).
Pros-
– The bluetooth unit works flawlessly (or as far as I can tell). It synced with both my iPod Touch and my iPhone 4.
– The earbuds plug into the bluetooth unit – this means you can use any earbuds or headphones of our choosing. It also means that you can plug other things (like portable speakers) into the headphone jack.
– Completely rechargeable, and it seems to have good battery life.
– The music quality (when using other earbuds) is quite good.
– Pretty decent value – The bluetooth unit alone is worth the selling price
Cons –
– Everything about the earbuds – They are shockingly bad. Why is one earbud cord about 12″ shorter than the other?
– The cord for charging the unit is only about 6″ – Again why?
– It is really difficult to *Clip* the CLIPPER to anything. The jaws are difficult to separate and clip.
Final verdict – Despite the horrible sound from the earbuds, I really like the Jabra clipper. I admit that if I was forced to use the earbuds that were included I would be very disappointed…. but I am not, so I am quite happy!
