The Jabra BT8040 does not use any ear-hooks as it now features a ‘Generation III' ear gel that ‘provides perfect comfort for in-ear wearing.' GN claims that the Jabra BT8040 ‘packs a punch' when it comes to high grade audio because of its Digital Sound Processing (DSP) technology and intelligent volume controls. This Bluetooth headset also has an e-SCO technology that claims to provide clear voice transfer between headset and phone, as well as an acoustic shock protection that will safeguard the ear from sudden increases in noise.

The Jabra BT8040 is also A2DP enabled, which means that it can stream music wirelessly from media MP3 players, the internet, a mobile phone, or even a PC. Users can also connect to two devices at the same time with its MultiPoint software.

Key Specifications:

  • Digital sound enhancement via DSP technology 
  • Active noise reduction on transmitted and received audio 
  • Intelligent volume settings to equalize incoming audio volume
  • Acoustic shock protection safeguards the ear from loud, sudden noises
  • e-SCO improves voice transfer from headset to phone
  • Auto pairing 
  • Multi-coloured light for status and battery indicator
  • Quiet mode – turns light off after 1 minute
  • Jabra ear gel – 2x small, 2x medium & 2x large
  • Up-to 6 hours talk time
  • 200 hours standby time
  • Size: L 39 mm x W 18mm x D 12 mm
  • Less than 10 grams

RRP: $109
