Jabra’s new Halo Smart headsets look the business

If you find wired headphones a chore to tangle and untangle and on-ear cans a bother to tote around, you’ll appreciate the charms that Jabra’s wireless necklace-style Halo Smart wireless headset has to offer.

The Halo Smart let’s you make and take calls once it’s paired to your smartphone and earns it’s moniker on account of the fact that it’s able to give voice readouts of emails, texts and social media along with access to Google Now at the push of a button. It works just fine with Siri for iOS kit too. Incoming alerts are handled via a discreet vibration from the neck piece of the headset. It’s not just there to act as a glorified means to natter away, integrated 10mm drivers make it a dab hand at handling music too.

Precision Danish engineering has ruthlessly hewn every bit of dead weight off these headsets to make them a feather light 38g, making them ideal for all-day wear. Not only that, they’ve managed through some manner of sorcery to cram in an impressive 17 hours of talk time and about 15 hours if you’re listening to tunes alone on the 230mAh battery.

The Jabra Halo Smart costs RM399 comes in three hues: Impact Red, Electric Blue and Classic Black and can be acquired at ALL IT Hypermarket Sdn Bhd, Harvey Norman, Machines, Viewnet Computer Systems, and Switch stores nationwide near the end of July. For more details on the Halo Smart swing by here.
