Designed specifically for convenience and comfort, the FreeSpeak BT250v lets you talk hands-free and wirelessly on your cell phone via Bluetooth technology. The lightweight, contoured device fits securely on your head, works with either ear, looks great, and is simple to set up. Enhancements over the popular BT250 include a convenient vibrating alert and a handsome new black color. Weighing less and an ounce, the FreeSpeak BT250v is constructed from a soft, sound-absorbing elastomer material that reduces distortions, resulting in crisp sound quality. The earpiece also features the new Jabra MiniGel, a soft, ergonomic gel tip that channels sound directly into your ear for better reception, improving your ability to hear conversations clearly, even in noisy environments. The device works up to 30 feet away from your mobile phone, so you can talk and walk freely even if your phone is inside your briefcase, pocket, or across the room from you. With the BT250v, voice dialing, call answer/end, redial and call transfer are all just a touch of a button away. The headset also provides easy, intuitive volume controls, and features LED and audible status indicators. You'll get an average of up to 7 hours talk time and 200 hours standby on the BT250v's rechargeable batteries. What's in the Box
BT250v, charging cradle/headset holder, snap-on belt clip

BT200 vs BT250V

I am just purchasing a BT250V (I have not yet received it.) I've been using my BT200 for over a year and it's been GREAT! Good sound quality and features. Comfortable to wear all day and fits well. After a couple of days of use, you don't even notice it's there. More importantly, the 250 has almost twice the battery life of the 200 (7 vs 4). I don't know the the vibrating feature is a plus. I would think it adds mass and so, more weight. I'm not sure I need my ear vibrating.
From the mind and labs of sound genius, Woody Norris, The Jabra is a great unit.
(I only gave the BT250V three stars, since I have not yet received it. If it works as well as my BT200, it will rate five stars.)

I first bought a bluetooth headset when I had my T616 with ATT wireless and it was absolute trash.. (Sony HB65) I got a bad first taste of bluetooth but since then I got a HS820 from a coworker and it was decent but felt flimsy and unsecure against my head.. The BT250v is much more secure and the audio quality is great. Same model as the BT250 I just liked the all black style of the 250v (I turn off the vibrate mode). I have not had a problem at all with reception or the range on the device. I really like this headset... BTW works great with RIM 7290 if you are wondering!!!

Two things to note about this product

I fell in love with the bluetooth module when I got my first bluetooth enabled phone. The idea of being able to jus tleave your phone in your pocket, in your house on the counter, or elsewhere, and walk around up to 30 feet without holding the phone was just awesome. Two things about this phone, however, that made this appeal diminish over time:
1. The 30ft. radius degrades over time. Although you should still be able to get 30ft six months down the road, the reception will be extremely scratchy. The quality of this receptoin is based on your battery in the phone, which degrades over time as well.
2. The construction of the product is flimsy. If you are like me and put things in your pocket, beware that this will cause the plastic and rubber to disconnect from each other, making the wires inside visible. I also lost a button - it popped out when the parts disconnected. So if you buy this, take care of it. It will still work, but it will just be that much more annoying.
Hope this helps.

Lifetime of unreplacable battery: just beyond 1 yr warranty

I got a BT200 (appears to be nearly the same as the BT250v) 15 months ago. It worked well and I liked it a lot despite annoying background clicking and short battery life. Now, after just over a year, its battery often won't last a day of standby let alone conversations. Jabra support says they have no spare parts or service and offered me a 20% discount on a new one. In other words, beware that this is a disposable product! I also have a BT-110, which uses a AAA cell that has much longer life and can be removed for recharge and/or replacement.
