We can think of a lot of different ways to spend $130 instead on some Bluetooth headset, but the new Jabra Stone just might be worth the price. The Jabra Stone, when docked, is a near-seamless pebble, broken only underneath, at the headset’s hollowed-out ejection point. It pairs in regular and A2DP modes for voice or music listening, respectively, has a minimalist status display, a noise-cancelling mic, volume controls—though here they’re managed with a touch-sensitive shell rather than buttons—and a charging dock. The device’s talk time is two hours per charge, and the dock is good for three extra charges with standby time 12 days. What makes the Jabra Stone impressive is its design and feel. Many don’t exactly like the way Bluethooth headsets look or feel on, which is what Jabra took into consideration when designing the Stone, which is better than a lot out there on the market right now. The Stone will be available at AT&T stores from November 8th, priced at $130.
