Jabra unveils the EXTREME2 Bluetooth mono headset

Jabra recently announced the launch and availability of their Jabra EXTREME2 Bluetooth mono headset that they claim will put an end to the notion that all headsets offering exceptional sound clarity and comfort come attached with a high price tag. As a successor to the Jabra EXTREME, which is renowned for its solid performance and quality features, Jabra EXTREME2 sports the same functionality besides additional, new and advanced features like next generation noise cancellation. Jabra claims that combined with its convenient and superior design, the Bluetooth mono headset makes managing calls easier than ever.

Equipped with advanced noise cancellation in mobile technology to-date, Jabra EXTREME2 is eminently suited for users who regularly travel or operate in busy, noisy places. Noise Blackout 3.0 works to block out unwanted background noise, such as traffic, machinery and even wind, so your caller hears you clearly with minimal effort and the least frustration. Combined with HD Voice, EXTREME2 is capable of delivering dramatically enhanced sound quality and crisp clarity.
