Jabra Motion Pro Reviews

All in all, our testing of the Jabra Motion Bluetooth headset didn't go as smoothly as we expected. We did encounter a few annoyances here and there – the twitchy advanced features and the frustrating volume control, to name a few, and that shouldn't happen to a user who just spent over $100 on such a gizmo. But on the other hand, we're quite happy with its professional design, its audio performance and with its comfortable fit, and ultimately, these are the factors that either make or break a headset. Do we recommend it? Well, if comfort and call quality are your top priorities, then feel free to give it a try. But if you're also craving for all the bells and whistles a premium headset can provide, perhaps the Jabra Motion isn't the best option you can possibly find at this price point.

It's clear Jabra wanted to one-up its rival, the Plantronics Voyager Legend, and in most ways has succeeded. Priced at a steep $129, the Motion certainly costs more than the $99.99 Legend. For the higher sticker price, however, the Motion trumps the Voyager Legend on audio quality thanks to its tight ear seal. and it's more comfortable to wear. The Motion companion app is also more capable, with methods for switching sound profiles on the fly. The Motion's ability to link with compatible phones quickly is also pretty slick, and a trick the Voyager Legend can't tackle. I suggest opting for the Legend only if the headset's more stylish and slim design resonates with you better than the Motion's massive footprint. You can also go with the Jawbone Era which is a solid ultracompact option. That said, it's hard to forgive the Motion's quirky motion sensor abilities, which didn't perform as the company promised. Aside from that, the Jabra Motion's compelling combination of features, audio performance, and cushy fit put it in clear striking distance of the reigning Bluetooth headset king.
