When fitted correctly, the sound transfers directly into your ear without residual noise leaking to people around you, keeping with the minimalist concept.

Advanced Features
The Jabra Halo Free is a standard Bluetooth technology, wireless earphone/microphone combination. They are made by Jabra which is part of the Gn group who is a pioneer of sound, from wireless headphones to hearing aids. With their focus on strictly sound, they have created a solid earbud for music, podcasts, and phone calls. When seated properly, the sound is centralized to your ear and no external music or speaking can be heard. Each earbud has separate audio channels, giving a strong sound to each individual ear. Weighing only.64 ounces, these earbuds are lightweight and won’t hurt your ear canal, resting exactly where it’s supposed to.
Connectivity
The Jabra Halo Free features Bluetooth connectivity and a USB charger. With a battery charge that lasts 5 hours, you won’t need to plug it in too soon, but you can count on only about 2 hours for a full charge, once it’s low. These earbuds will connect to any iOS or Android compatible device. It is recommended that you also download the Jabra Assist App for iOS or Android to enable certain features and a more detailed manual.
Ease of Use
Bluetooth connectivity is as simple as pushing a button on both the Jabra Halo Free and the device you are trying to pair it with. Once they’re connected, you can adjust volume, directly from the control panel accessible just below the earbud. Jabra issues additional wearing styles and ear tips to ensure a perfect fit and ultimate satisfaction. The USB charger fits with standard wall plugs, enabling a good charge whether you’re at work, home or the gym.
Power Source
The Jabra Halo Free is a rechargeable wireless headset. It has a USB cable that can be plugged into the wall or the computer to charge. The battery holds up to a 5-hour charge without plugging in, so you can run a medium to a long run or a day of errands while chatting on the phone or listening to music. The USB cable is standard so you can charge the earbuds wherever you can access a wall plug, whether at work, home or the gym.
Sound Quality
With over 150 years of experience in the electronics and sound business, Jabra has produced a solid, dependable earbud for your most basic needs. Each individual product consists of hundreds of hours of research and engineering to provide all of the features you desire in your purchase. This set features separate channels for each ear, giving a localized sound exclusive to that ear. Reviewers say that this product is best for podcasts and music that is more vocal-heavy. There is still a good amount of bass but not so much as to distract from your run.
Durability
The Jabra Halo Free are steady and reliable earbuds. Their construction is solid with no loose pieces. The additional pieces included for a proper fit ensure they sit securely and comfortably, reducing any possibility of failure due to damage or malfunction. The earbuds, control panel, and connecting wire are all treated and water resistant, making them more durable if caught in the rain. The microphone is protected in the casing of the control panel so there is minimal concern over failure.
Price
With 150 years electronics and sound experience behind them, Jabra has committed itself to engineering products to be the best with every new product. Given that not all earphone and headset companies can claim that they produce both hearing aids and headsets in their facilities, the experience associated with simple sound production gives Jabra a foot up against their competitors. And one would expect them to price their products accordingly. Not so with the Jabra Halo Free. These earbuds are reasonably priced and provide a quality sound, so they won’t break your budget while you’re listening to your daily playlist at the gym.
Bottom Line
The Jabra Halo Free is a sleek, minimalist design that meets exactly your needs without all the extra additions and training. Added Bluetooth connectivity makes these earbuds wireless with no wire to fight with while running, catching on passing foliage or your arms. With over 5 hours of talk or music time, you can have a full phone conversation or jam out completely on all of your runs, even your longer runs, without equipment failure. The volume controls are right on the control panel located near your ear so you can make the adjustment without pulling your phone from its safe place.;For over 150 years, Jabra has been producing sound equipment, including consumer headphones, professional headsets and even hearing aids, all in the same facility. This kind of experience should inspire your belief that this company knows exactly what they’re doing when they’re building a new set of earbuds. But beyond just experience, they invest hundreds of hours of research and engineering into every new product. They don’t just start with a previous model and make adjustments. They start from the very beginning and double check every connection and feature to ensure they’re meeting your needs.;That focus and concern over their products have carried over into the Jabra Halo Free. The water-resistant durability and ease of use of these earbuds are remarkable while the price is incredibly reasonable. They’re a great minimalist earbud that does exactly what you need them to do. Enjoy!
