Jabra mini has several advantages: a good location in the ear, comfortable controls, long battery life, high-quality sound transmission, users highlight a few disadvantages, which are inherent only in certain instances of the headset. And the disadvantages may have appeared only because the earpiece is not anatomically suitable for the new owner.

Headset design
The headset comes in a cardboard box that, in addition to the earpiece, contains:
- a spare larger earhook;
- A silicone earpiece that is different in size from the one originally on the headset;
- Micro-USB cable for recharging;
- instructions.
Users consider the fact that the manual contains a block of explanatory information in Russian to be a huge plus.
The device weighs only 9 grams, it is almost weightless, it is not felt in the hands.
The outer panel is glossy black, it scratches over time. The sides are contrasting gray, the bottom block is also black, but already matte. The headset is not particularly striking, but it looks stylish. It fits both men and women well.
The earpiece is an anatomically shaped earpiece. From time to time there are complaints that it does not hold well in the right ear. And then there are recommendations to solve this problem: insert the headset into the left ear or replace the silicone earpiece with another, more suitable for the shape of the ears.
If you're lucky and manage to find the right shape earmold, you can comfortably listen to calls, enjoying excellent sound quality.
For some wearers, an earhook is more comfortable than an earmold. But sometimes you have to use both mounts to ensure a comfortable fit of the device. Rarely there are complaints that the earpiece rubs (!) on the ear.
But this happens only if you use the headset all day. Often users compare the device with the Jabra BT2045, noting that the Jabra mini does not press on the ear at all, unlike the cheaper model.
Features of use
Use the headset easy to operate, all the functional keys are intelligently placed on the panel:
- On the left side is the on/off lever of the device, which also turns on Bluetooth;
- On the right is the volume rocker, quite palpable under the fingers;
- the button to receive a call - the end panel, not the whole, but only the top area, which is closer to the logo.
With the main button you can answer the call, make a call to the last dialed number yourself, stop/start playback of a podcast or music. The panel is easy to press, no need to "stick" the earpiece in your ear with your finger. LED indicates battery status, pairing or charging features.
The headset can be paired with iPhones, regular smartphones and other devices that have Bluetooth version 4.0. The headset's battery level is displayed on smartphones. Every action or command with the device is accompanied by a pleasant female voice. Which speaks in Russian!
Even more opportunities are given to the user who downloaded to your phone program "Assistant". It allows you to listen in voice mode to all messages: ordinary, from Viber or WhatsApp. A little clumsy it turns out, as noted by less enthusiastic owners, but, nevertheless, quite understandable.
The headset connects to devices quickly, rarely loses connection if the distance from the transmitting device does not exceed 10 meters. Some difficulties arise with the microphone if the phone is too close to the earpiece - background may appear. Quacking, interruptions and humming occur if the user and the transmitting device are separated by a thick wall.
You can often read in the reviews that the headset loses connection to the transmitting device. In the earpiece appears a quacking, grunting, stuttering and complete disconnection. Or completely unexpectedly - silence. The problem is solved only by replacing the phone or buying a new headset, as some older models poorly support the Bluetooth signal.

Headphone performance
The main advantage of the Jabra mini is that the earpiece delivers quality sound. There are no excessive high frequencies, so voices are perceived pleasantly, naturally. In the ear does not appear extraneous background, the surrounding noise also does not interfere with the conversation.
The reviews of the owners include not only an evaluation of the sound:
- "The sound is good, you can normally make out what's being said to you, even on a noisy street. I tried to listen to music, but it's uncomfortable. But audiobooks are comfortable to play.
- "It's convenient to have your hands free when talking on the phone. You can drive and talk. You can hear the caller's voice well, and it's convenient that the buttons on the headset switch with one hand."
- "Great sound, doesn't freeze, no glitches. There is an A2DP profile for listening to audio. Works well."
- "Plays music okay, but no bass. But people's voices play well, no need to listen to speech, no grunting."
In some cases, the headset does not transmit the melody of the incoming call, but only plays its own. This is not always convenient, but it is immediately clear that it is not the player playing, but there is an incoming call. But the notifications of incoming SMS, MMS, system changes are duplicated by the software voice.
Microphone capabilities
The Active Noise Cancellation system makes the use of this headset as comfortable as possible. Extraneous noise is cut off, leaving only the voice of the headset owner. During the conversation, speech is not interrupted, the words are perceived clearly and understandably. The only disadvantage, which is rarely noted by users - the interlocutors complain that the caller's voice sounds too loud.
Autonomy
Many users claim that the headset works for a long time, the battery lasts for at least two days with frequent use. In fact, the battery life with constant calls - hours. This is not enough for operators who constantly use IP-telephony, but quite enough for the office worker.
The headset can stay on standby for more than a week. In this case you can periodically use it for short-term calls, the battery runs down insignificantly. When the charge level drops, the system voice tells you to recharge the battery.
Conclusion
Jabra mini headset is comfortable to use: good sound, comfortable earpiece, a chic microphone noise isolation are highly appreciated by the owners of the device. Pleases a good autonomy, and the price for such a device is not overpriced. The main thing is to try out the headset with your phone to avoid inconveniences in the form of signal interruption and constant disconnect.
