Jabra Introduces Two New Bluetooth Headset
Bluetooth headset maker Jabra recently announced the launch of a pair of multi-use headsets with the M5390 USB and BT530 USB. Either can pair up with up to eight devices including cell phones and Internet-connected PCs for VoIP or soft-phone use. Additionally, both can pair up to two devices simultaneously, allowing users to answer the device that is ringing. Users can answer either their cell phone or a PC-based VoIP call.
The devices offer a variety of wearing options, with the M5390 USB capable of either ear hook or headband attachment, while the BT530 USB can be worn with or without the included ear hook.
The Jabra BT530 USB features the company's Noise Blackout feature that reportedly minimizes noise without distorting voice quality. It includes a Bluetooth adapter for plug-and-play compatibility with PC applications and soft-phones, and includes the same software as the M5390. The battery is good for 5.5 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby time, with a range of 33 feet.
The M5390 USB will ship in January, priced at $191, while the BT530 USB is available now, priced at $129.
