    5 Months
Strengths: Excellent noise reduction, very good sound reproduction with good efficiency, outstanding battery life, value pricing (~$70) and comfortable fit.
Weaknesses: None noted
Summary: I have used this headset for 5 months and love it! I usually make 4 long airplane trips a month, so I only use these while flying. In addition to the listed strengths, the design is such that you can sleep with these on, they will still work even if your battery is dead(sans noise reduction), and it comes with all necessary accessories.

I had a chance to do an even comparison with a pair of Bose QC2s recently. This headset performed surprisingly well against the $300+ Bose pair. Sound was not quite as rich, however the noise reduction was actually slightly better. Even though the designs are strikingly similar, under close scrutiny the overall quality of construction appears a bit lower.

In summary, I would highly recommend this headset. Its performance was stellar in all areas, especially considering the low price. A great piece of equipment and a great value.

Strengths: Excellent sound, really noise canceling!!
Weaknesses: None
Summary: 2008-05-01 00:35:19 This is another pair I've and simply like this, it should battery to have rich sound and it rocks!!! What happenss if your battery goes down no worries it will still work but the sound quality will be low. Its worth carrying extra NIMH AAA batteries if you have long travel, The sound almost represents to Bose what I have. I will continue uses this one also and like it.

Strengths: First impression is "noise canceling function works great!"
Weaknesses: 1)Bass is muddy/blurred with low-mid range in Jabra. 2)Jabra carry-case is thiner and softer.
Summary: 3) With noise canceling function on, Jabra C820s creates a little noticeble white noise sound(/hiss sound but not in high pitch)

4) Noise canceling switch in Jabra is not solid, it could partially STAY in the middle of on/off, which will make left earphone no sound.

5) Jabra overall built-in quality is just so so. it contains more cheaper plastic and pleather. full of plastic smell. well, good thing is its light-weight.

6) it's very comfy to wear for loong time 6-8 hours.

7) long battery life. Notice: Recharge battery can NOT be used in this headphone.

8) with cost of $60, it's comparable to Boss $300 headphone, if it's not better.

Strengths: price, compact size. construction quality, looks, ability to fold for storage, good sound quality (but not great-- much better when using "noise cancellation" feature than without it)
Weaknesses: "noise cancellation" feature doesn't work quite as well as I had hoped, although impact is noticed; fit a bit too tightly for my comfort when using for extended periods of time
Summary: I really like these headphones, especially for the price when compared to Bose. I bought them to use during air travel, however I find myself using them more than expected for home use, especially with my iPod. Overall, I'm quite pleased and would recommend this product for consideration.
