Jabra ROX Wireless- Bluetooth in-ear Stereo Earbuds
Yes, my boys love music, videos, games, anything that makes noise. My little boy- well, he’s 11, can watch you tube videos all day. My big boy, aka my husband, loves to listen to music while he works or plays. The only difference between my boys, besides their age, is that only one of them appreciates good sound quality. My husband can pick up on the smallest change in bass sound- he can tell when I have been playing with his equalizer in his Hummer. My son only cares about whether or not he can hear his Minecraft You Tube Videos. But, they both LOVE headphones and frequently have trouble sharing their favorite pairs. Since it was just Father’s Day and my hubby’s birthday, we all decided Daddy got to try out Jabra ROX Wireless Earbuds first. Needless to say, my son hasn’t been able to get his hands on them since. I even had to sneak them away just to get some pictures while he was in the shower. Thanks goodness they aren’t shower-proof!
Let me tell you a little about Jabra ROX and where you can get your OWN pair:
Based on the same in-ear monitors used by professional musicians, Jabra Rox Wireless stereo earbuds give you all the freedom of wireless—while delivering clear phone calls and the harmonic highs and lows of the music on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
Rugged solid steel product protects against dust and water and whatever else comes with your active life. When you’re not using the earbuds, simply clip them together around your neck and magnets will activate power saving mode.
Listen to music and talk longer in total comfort with the perfect fit and full sound provided by ColorCore EarGels and Rox’s overall lightweight design. Optional Ear-Wings also let you can lock the headset in place when you’re ultra-active.
Jabra ROX are currently available at Apple.com. arv $129.99
What I love about Jabra ROX:
These wireless earbuds are kid and husband-proof. My hubby has worn them out on his tractor while moving dirt from one spot to another. He has worn them in the rain. He has worn them while spray painting the shed. Their Kevlar reinforced cables have provided impressive protection against cracking, wire breakage and more.
The power-saving magnets are a great feature. To put Jabra ROX in stand-by mode, just let the flat sides of the earbuds link together. My husband usually takes them off, links them together and puts them into his pocket. He gets jostled around too much on his tractor and doesn’t want them flying off.
The earbuds are extremely comfortable and come in different size ColorCore Ear Gels. I usually dislike any earbuds because they bother my ears. I was happily surprised that Jabra ROX felt so natural in my ears. My husband also found them very comfortable. They do come with ear wings to help secure them to your ears, but we both found that we didn’t need them.
The sound quality is AMAZING! My husband said he had a concert in his ears all day. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was amazed that that kind of sound could come out of earbuds! I know if my husband hadn’t taken them back from me, I wouldn’t be getting much work done.
Just a few other things we liked: The volume adjustment is easy to find. The charging port is well designed and hidden. Charging time is short- only about 2 hours. That’s a big plus in our world! No one wants to wait for anything these days! And, my son did eventually get to try them. His comment: “they rock!”
Things I would improve in Jabra ROX:
The cord is a little bit too short. My husband wasn’t able to keep them around his neck when not in use. The cord between the earbuds needs to be about 2 inches longer. I personally had no trouble with the length, but I can see where men would not be able to use the magnet feature to keep them around their necks.
Once I paired the Jabra ROX to my iPhone, it was very difficult to pair them with a different bluetooth device. I was able to figure it out, but I’m sure that Jabra could some up with an easier solution.
Overall, I highly recommend Jabra ROX wireless for anyone who needs high quality sound hands-free! You won’t be disappointed!!
