Jabra BT2040 Bluetooth headset £5 delivered

probably won't work with the PS3 but hey it's £5 and it'll save you getting 3 points if you stick it in your ear before you get in your car

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars DOES NOT WORK WITH PS3

Bought this after reading the first review. Connected to phone really easily, however, incompatible with the ps3 as it keeps disconnecting the controller. Very disappointed.

i bought this for PS3 but unfortunately it mixes signal with my controller causing it to freeze and the bluetooth headset keeps disconnecting,
although it is a bargain
 
Jabra was one of the first Bluetooth manufacturers and their products are fairly bullet proof ( I was part of the team that designed the Bluetooth testers thay use ;)) but Sony may not have been so rigorous in following the standard........

It doesn't help but I thought I'd point out that it's probably not Jabras fault :)
 
To be fair, it's advertised for use with mobile phones not video games.
 
As stated, bluetooth is bluetooth regardsless of platform. I dont think anyone is critising it for what it is and what it costs, just curious to how well it will work with PS3. Personally after looking on play.com, I'd spend the extra £10 and get the sony one.

This Jabra one does look amazing value for mobile phones ***

That should be true but in real life nothing is that simple. Even some phones handle BT differently, I have a really good sennheiser earpiece, on one work phone the earpiece runs out of battery power in about 4.5 hours, on another it lasts for days.
 
Seems it may not be such a bargain cos it uses AAAA batteries which I've never seen but believe are £2 a pop. I think I'd pay an extra £5 and get a rechargeable one. I got a Motorola for less than £10 incl p&p, but it only came with an in-car charger, however a mains charger was to be had for less tha £5 incl p&p http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/sameday-auctions & http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Mobile-Wireless. hope this is some use.
