CONCLUSION

   Having used and tested numerous wireless earsets and headsets the first two things I noticed about the ROX Wireless was its design and build quality. You see it’s not every day that I decide to use a wireless headset even after a review but the ROX Wireless looks great and it also looks like it’s going to last forever. Of course you can’t expect the same level of quality from earbuds as you would from a regular headset but it also stands out in that area as well (for how long it will last however is something that only time can tell – out of simple curiosity when and if it fails on me I will update this review). As for audio quality things are very good there too and although I was left wanting more volume and bass levels mids and highs are actually quite detailed and accurate. It still can’t compete with a good full sized headset in that area either but unless you’re willing to spend a lot more you can’t expect miracles from a pair of 6mm dynamic drivers. The same applies to the built-in microphone but although it’s certainly not among the best ones we’ve ever used (people on the other end would complain often about background noises) it gets the job done. As for the battery I still don’t know the exact capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable pack used but we did manage to squeeze slightly over 4 hours from it while listening to music and answering calls so although it could do better we really have no complaints here. As for stability well if you were to compare the ROX Wireless to the PUMP HD earbuds by BlueAnt or the SPORT Wireless+ (again by Jabra) in really fast running conditions they’d fall behind (even with the earwings installed) but not by much.

   With a current price tag set to USD79.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 83Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) the ROX Wireless is priced just about right. Now the reason I even say this is because the ROX Wireless is almost 2 years in the market already so I’d expect Jabra to lower the price a bit more. Still I can’t deny that Jabra has once again released a great pair of earbuds in almost every conceivable way and that’s why we’re awarding the ROX Wireless with our Golden Award.
