Jabra's Bluetooth headset makes a beeline for the rich

Damian Koh | Jul 17, 2007

Designed by world-renown industrial designer Jacob Jensen, the 24-carat gold-plated JX10 Cara Bluetooth headset is the accessory to own for the extravagant lifestyle. And it doesn't come cheap.

The gold version will retail for S$468 (US$344.12) in early August. If that's too much bling, there's a similar stainless steel model going at a more affordable price of S$288 (US$211.76). Topping it off is the S$388 (US$285.29) Bluetooth Hub compatible with fixed-line deskphones that looks just as droolicious.

With all that glitter dazzling you, you probably won't care about the specifications as much as looking good wearing the headsets. But just so you know in case someone does ask, the JX10 Cara has a talktime of 6 hours and a maximum standby of 8.3 days.

The new Jabras have been available in Europe and the US since June and is expected to reach Asia-Pacific shores in early August. The company said it is in talks with a particular local telco operator in Singapore for exclusivity of the headsets. Several hundred units will be available in each country in the region including Hong Kong and Taiwan.
