CONCLUSION

 

 

 

 

 

jabra move style edition b

   The REVO Wireless by Jabra was one of the best compact wired/wireless headsets when it was released back in 2013 (perhaps the best) so I only have good things to say about it (still have one of the very first samples send out by Jabra but after so many years its battery has died). Unfortunately, I never had a chance to test the MOVE model (to be honest that release somehow fell beneath our radar) so testing the brand new MOVE Style Edition brought back some of those memories. The stainless steel frame seems to be just as durable as the one used in the REVO Wireless whereas in terms of audio quality things seem equally good. No doubt thanks to Jabra's DSP (digital sound processing) chip but still the MOVE Style Edition produces clear and accurate mids and highs (although the lack of support for any HD/HQ bluetooth codec is somewhat evident with some tracks) and although bass levels are not what we had hoped still it does rather well in that area as well (for a model of its size that is). The earcup controls may not be the easiest to use at times (I do prefer the touch ones of the REVO Wireless) but they are certainly better compared to some in-line ones we’ve seen to date. As for battery life we weren’t able to reach the 14 hours advertised by Jabra but we did almost hit 12 and that’s not a bad number at all considering that the original MOVE had an advertised battery life of 8 hours.


   According to Jabra the brand-new MOVE Style Edition retails with the same price tag as its predecessor. To be precise at the moment of this review the MOVE Style Edition retails for USD99.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 104Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) so it’s priced almost the same as the original MOVE (the original MOVE is also still being sold and retails roughly 35% less compared to the Style Edition). With that out of the way although the MOVE Style Edition is nowhere close to being as “impressive” as the REVO Wireless (not just when it got released but even now – its dual microphones, foldable design and touch controls still pack a punch - hopefully Jabra will also release an upgraded version of that model too) it does offer good audio performance at a very compact size and that along with its high build quality are enough for us to give it our Golden Award.
