With the Jabra JX10, Jabra once again proves itself to be a household name in Bluetooth headsets. It's one of the smallest headsets we've seen, measuring only 1.5 by 0.75 by 0.75 inches and weighing an incredibly light 0.3 ounce. Because of its size, it's barely noticeable when worn, a nice departure from most of the Bluetooth headsets out there. The price is a hefty $179, but you do get a lightweight and stylish headset out of it.

Aside from its size, the Jabra JX10 sports an attractive design. Its sexy angular shape is complemented by a silver body with black accents. The earpiece rests comfortably in the ear, and even though the JX10 comes with a detachable ear hook, we found that we didn't need it most of the time. Because of its symmetrical shape, it can be worn on either the right or the left ear.

On top of the Jabra JX10 are the volume buttons, along with the charger port and the light indicator, and on the left side is the Answer/End button. These buttons are easy to press, even when worn on the ear. The pairing button, however, is a tiny recessed control on the back of the headset that requires a bit of fingernail to push. That said, once you can find the button, pairing is relatively easy--just hold the control down until the light indicator turns a solid blue, then release. To finish, have the phone discover the headset, then confirm the pairing.

Summary: If you want a Bluetooth gateway between iPod and phone, the Jabra is tough to beat. It works with any iPod (or other MP3 player), has great voice quality, and is simple to use.
