The Jabra BT250V is still the good solid base that keeps it selling in volumes It supports both headset and hands free profiles for ease of connection to any Bluetooth enabled mobile or audio compatible device, the 7 hour talk time also equates to 200hrs on standby and yet it weighs in at just 23 grams.

Again this headset is supremely comfortable for long journeys or even use in the office the patented MiniGel system ensures that the earpiece sits snugly yet easily in your ear with the rest of the boom style set-up relying on a behind ear anchorage. The 10 meter Bluetooth range is plenty for most applications and some useful extras like last number redial and voice dialling are available with compatible phones.

Audio quality is very good with good strong volume levels and clear voice transmission, the microphone used on the BT250V is a unidirectional one that seems to good a good job of filtering out background noise especially traffic and road noise.

The big new feature for this model is vibrating alter, this means that the headset give a little shake when an incoming call triggers the headset, ideal if you don't want the BT250V ringing in your ear or if you might be in a noisy environment. From our tests this works well but is of limited use, after all if you can't hear a headset ring in your ear then a vibration is not likely to stir you either and we don't see many builder with Bluetooth headsets on.

Charging your BT250V headset takes about 2 hours from flat and the whole package comes with a little cradle to sit your headset on while it recuperates.

Priced at £59.99 it comes as a premium over the standard BT250 and while this model will out last the standard device for the moment we'd suggest you stick with the cheaper model and leave the Jabra BT250V and it's vibrating alert until the price start to drop.
