Jabra, a GN Netcom brand, today announced the launch of a Bluetooth headband – HALO2. The HALO2 version features advanced Multiuse technology, enabling connection with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. It can be connected to non-Bluetooth music players as well via 3.5mm universal Audio Jack cable bundled along.
According to Ann Goh, regional sales manager, GN Netcom, responsible for mobile products business in South East Asia, “Jabra HALO2 includes new features like AM3D Virtual Surround Sound (mimics multiple-speaker-sound that seems to come from various directions) with Power Bass, best-in-class digital signal processing (DSP) and Proprietary Noise Blackout technology with dual microphones for crisp and clear music and call experience. What’s more, it has touch sensor on side that lets users adjust volume with the swipe of a finger besides a one-touch button to answer / end calls, skip tracks and play / pause songs. All of this can be done without touching or taking out the phone or the music player from the pocket or the bag.”
For comfort, the ear-pieces are cushioned with velvet and it comes in metallic colour as well. It has a discreet extension at both the ends to suit different head sizes. Not to forget the intelligent power management or the intuitive on-off capability that saves on battery charge.
Jabra HALO2 can be folded at both the ends and switches off when done so, and the moment the user unfolds it back into its regular shape, it switches itself on. Its battery lasts for 8 hours and has a Standby time of 13 days. On one side, it displays the battery as well as Bluetooth connectivity status clearly such that users get to know when to charge the headband or when the pairing is weak.
Additionally, users will be able to upgrade their HALO2 with updates from Jabra as and when they become available via the in-built Micro USB port. Apple-certified version of the product is also available for iPod, iPhone and iPad users.
It is priced at Rs 6499.
