I have been using the Jabra BT530 ever since my review and have been meaning to post an updated article cause this little headset rocks. I initially labeled as just another headset, but the more I use it, the more I find that it’s a superior device. I love the headset even more after my wife found it survived a trip through the washing machine.
The story begins this morning when I searched all over trying to find the headset but I couldn’t find it anyway. So I pulled out another Jabra and was using that to listen to all the CES PR calls get. I was easily able to tune out the pitches as all I could think about was my lost headset. Then the wifey found it in the bottom of the washing machine. I probably left the tiny headset in my jeans and sometime during the wash, it worked itself out of the pocket.
But it survived. The headset is fine and I’m chalking this up to a holiday miracle.
The thumbnail-size picture on the home page looked a little bit like a turd was sitting on your washing machine.
Dude, thats very rare… :)
Or is this some kind of ad for jabra technology :))
They seem very strong but don’t bet on it
Well… That’s more than what I can say about the Motorola V3 … One lousy laundry and then drying cycles killed it for good :D
It smelled really nice though
My Jawbone II has had two round trips in the washing machine (not dryer fortunately) – and after popping the cover off and letting it sit for a few days – it’s still making me look like the dweeb that I am.
Huh? Not supposed to wash ‘em? How else are you gonna get the ear wax out of it? Just so you will know (well, share with your wife) you must disinfect thru the washer every 3 months or risk getting a nasty virus! Come on man…would you want a trojan in your ear?
She will understand :)
