Radical Design and True Audio Excellence Come Together in the Jabra BT8040 Headset

BT8040

Weighing less than half an ounce, the Jabra BT8040 still packs a punch with high-grade audio. Digital sound processing (DSP) technology and intelligent volume controls combine to reduce background noise, for crisp, sharp sound. With e-SCO technology, voice transfer between headset and phone is crystal clear. Acoustic shock protection automatically adapts and regulates the volume, safe-guarding the ear from sudden increases in noise.

In addition to high quality hands-free calls, the Jabra BT8040 is A2DP enabled, meaning it can stream music wirelessly from media MP3 players, the internet, a mobile phone or PC. With MultiPoint software, users can connect to two devices at the same time, so any audio being played (such as music) will automatically pause when a call comes in.

The Jabra BT8040 is uniquely styled with no ear-hook. Instead it features an advanced Jabra ‘Generation III’ ear gel; available in a choice of three sizes. This provides perfect comfort for in-ear wearing. The Jabra BT8040, measuring only 1.5 inches in length, is a sharp, stylish headset offering the best in design, with no compromise on sound quality.
