Jabra BT2050 Bluetooth Headset Hands-on: Sony PS3 and Phones

I have had the pleasure of reviewing this Jabra BT2050 Bluetooth headset over the last two weeks, which I found has some good and some bad points as I will explain.

When the Jabra BT2050 arrived I was impressed with the slick and well presented packaging, so it shows that Jabra care about their products from the start before I even had a chance to use the headset.

Being a bit of a gadget fan I normally have no need to read the instructions, so I opened the Bluetooth headset and put it on charge, while it was charging it would be the perfect time to read the instructions, which is what I didn’t do (learn people, always read the details first).

I first used the BT2050 with the PS3 on a game called bad company, but could not get it to work which I thought was the headset, but then realised there was a problem with the game, so I then changed to COD4 where I was able to experience the BT2050. The sound quality of this Bluetooth headset is very clear and the BT2050 is very light on the ear unlike my previous headset, which felt like a brick in comparison.

The BT2050 feels great, has a quality finish and is very comfortable. The volume controls could have been on the side of the headset to make operating them easier, other than that, we fully recommend the BT2050 especially for the low price of around £19. In the box you get a Quick start manual, 2 earhooks in (S/M, L), an AC charger, and the Jabra BT2050 headset.

    Anyluck pairing this 2050 with the Xbox by any chance?

  2. SamiSam says:

    I mean the xbox360 that is ofcourse

    the xbox 360 doesn’t support standard bluetooth headsets. unfortunately, you have to use the proprietary wireless headset that Micro$oft sells.

    just got this. Im trying to pair this with the ps3 but its taking forever to scan. the bt2050 keeps flashing during the scan. It said to hold it for only 2-5 seconds for it to be in pairing mode.

    Booklet instructions for how to pair it with a new device are wrong. It tells you holding the power button will put it into pairing mode but it does not.

    Pairing mode is done by turning off the ear piece, then holding both power and answer/hangup at the same time. The LED should flash fast 3 or 4 times and then stay on solid. You might need to hold just power till the very first flash THEN begin holding answer/hangup as well as power till the LED goes constant. I’ve also had luck when frustrated by just holding all 4 buttons at once.
