I read every comment on here to make sure this product would meet my expectations. I have gone through dozens of headphones and let me tell you price means nothing when it comes to quality. These are the best looking headphones out there but they are a piece of shit. The first time i tried them they were already broken. This was a complete waste of $100 and the tax alone was $30. I honestly would not recommend these to anyone.
This is a very thorough review and very well presentation. Thanks! How about you get your hands on some Nokia BH-505 or the Mototrola S-10HD and do some more awesome reviews? Thnaks again
I obtained a pair and was highly disappointed. I experienced a host of issues including extremely short battery life, in-consistent control functions, uncomfortable ear piece, etc. I would highly discourage folks from purchasing these head phones or from dealing with the company as their customer service was terrible.

If you're not entirely happy with the JB-200's fit, isolation, or stay-in-earness, try Acoustibuds! They solved all three of those problems for me; for $15, they really take the headsets from good to great.
nevermind....i bought the jb-200 anyway...and the quality is nice.....!....so far so good. Didn't like that it doesnt come with an acual power cord tho...but lucky for me my old s9 powercord(or any mini-usb for that nature will fit in the dock) I need another dock tho to charge in my vehicle. 15 bucks on their website
is the charger for the jb200 a mini usb port? Also is the quality of sound (in your opinion) better than the quality of the motorola s9 hd, or is it fairly similar? I'm trying to decide whether to buy the Jb200, or the motorola s9 hd.
I currently have the Motorola S9 (non HD) and 1 of the speakers stopped working, so I'm looking to upgrade....get back to me please.....thx in advance
I have but one question; I am using my newly purchased phone (HTC Touch Pro2) which has Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate and A2DP for wireless stereo headsets.... This thing will work, but do I need to plug in that bulky adapter into my mini-usb or does it pair by finding it on the bluetooth network? Thank you in advance,

somebody must be paying this guy off for a good review... the jay birds are horrible... watch my review of these compared with 3 others in the market...
yeah, he`s rude, but I heard those headphones works crappy outside, that they constantly "speed up" and "slow down" music. Is it true? Anyway, isn't it useless to test BT headphones inside? Whats the point talking about rich bass... the most thing that matters is BT transmitter, its weak spot of all BT devices. is JayBird JB-200 catching signal good enough outside? While you running with them, leaving the phone in your bag and such. All BT headphones works great at home...
There is far more interference in the 2.4Ghz spectrum INSIDE the home than out. Cordless phones, WiFi APs, microwaves, baby monitors and the like put our dBs of noise which the channel-hopping BT must negotiate.
As for leaving the phone in a bag on your back., you really can't do that with BT. The rf spec isn't high enough. If the device is on your back and it has to go through your body to make it to the headset, you're going to get degradation.
"There is far more interference in the 2.4Ghz spectrum INSIDE" yeah, but BT signal is protected from interference, like every other signal. I mean, not to interfere between each other. We have tons of signals. In any moment you can turn on radio and listen to the music, this radio signal getting through walls easily. It getting through everyone of us every day. Can you feel degradation? (And this is just example of 1 of many signals)
BT isn't protected from interference, it just has a method of dealing with it: by hopping frequencies within the 2.4Ghz band.
If you have enough 2.4Ghz devices in an area, or a single device that outputs massive amounts of RF energy across the entire 2.4Ghz spectrum (like an older microwave) BT will not be able to hop to any clear channels and your throughput will suffer.
BT is low on Ghz -2.4, and its so weak that getting lost. But indoors you have walls and BT is bouncing of the wall, so its not getting lost so easily.
"Cordless phones, WiFi APs, microwaves, baby monitors and the like... " - they all have different frequency. They have nothing to do with BT. Even several BT devices can work simultaneously near each other well. Like BT mouse and keyboard, on same PC near each other. One of examples.
We've actually got a review of the MetaGeek WiSpy DBX coming up soon. It's a great little USB device that turns your computer into a spectrum analyzer on the 2.5 and 5Ghz bands. -- It's amazing how much RF garbage there is inside of a typical home or office.
wow this guy sucks....I ve never seen someone who takes a you tube video so seriously..he takes foreverrrr to get to the point....10 minutes to say this thing sucks..i like the jawbone!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to both of you for chiming in on the bass problem. -- I personally didn't find the bass deficient, but my music tastes probably didn't really push the low range.
Are these headphones comfortable for prolonged use? I need them for exercising. I've already ruined my Shure SE-310, Panasonic RP-BT10, Logitech Freepulse, and Sony HBH-DS90 all from sweat from exercising. I need something sweat-proof and the Jaybirds might be what I am looking for. But it's a new product, an unproven company, and an expensive price tag, so I might wait to see other reviews or until competing products come out.
What do u think are better, motorola S9-HD or JayBird JB-200?
The Jaybird sound better because the S9-HD still have many issues with sweat/water, controls stop working and then uncomfortable laying down, toque, hats, etc.
Umm, at 2:48, he mentions A2DP. A2DP is Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, which does NOT control multimedia functions. He meant to say AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), which makes more sense.
Wow great review Robert! This gadget seems like something more realistic to things I would buy. I like how the recent shows have progressed to a more general audience. This is something I'd definitely consider buying!
;-) that docking station problem crossed my mind,too. (especially when looking at all the docking stations for BT mice, RF Gamepad, cell phone, laptop, headphones, etc.) Are "wireless times" really supposed to be "docking station times"? Btw: Have I ever experienced only one day when NONE of my neaty wireless devices gasped for a power charge? Is Li-Ion really an improvement? Just think of times when you left the house and you were gone!No signal!Phone booth calling.So many q's so little time...
wow!!!!!! damn this show is the best!!!! u guys always show me whats new in technology !!!! and the only reason i got the jawbone bluetooth was because of ur review!!! n now i am going to get this as well :) thank dude!!!

the absense of usb port on the headphone is intentional. It is to make to device more sweat proof.
