Finding awesome stereo Bluetooth hardware is challenging. There are a few good reasons for that: one, you've got to somehow pack a battery inside the headset itself, two, you've got radio circuitry in there, and three, it's all got to last a bunch of hours between charges. We're not saying that Jabra's just-announced
HALO is for everyone, but it's an awfully interesting product -- probably one of the best A2DP sets we've seen -- and unlike most on-ear sets, it folds small enough to carry with you pretty much everywhere you go. The jury's out on audio quality and fit until we get our hands on an actual review unit (they're showing some pretty loose pre-production prototypes at
CTIA) but considering how the HALO looks and works, we're cautiously stoked that this is going to end up being one of the better multimedia accessories of the year.

What's your point? If you already know just keep on scrolling.
Ya, that's great and all, but announced and hands-on are two totally different concepts. Prototype or not, getting your hands on a soon-to-be-released product makes a world of difference.
yeah, i was holding them in barcelona, at jabra's stand
I def. want! but then again im a headphone junkie!
@momchil, while you were holding the headphones, did you happen to listen to this and get an impression of audio quality, and did you find out how long the battery will last?
