    So I have been testing the Jabra Extreme 2 for a month. Here is a break down of the pros and cons of this headset.

    Pros
    • Design
    • Comfort
    • Decent battery life
    • Does a decent job with wind
    Cons

    • Ear piece volume is too low for noisy environments
    • Noise cancellation is poor

    This is a decent headset but if you bought it for the claimed noise cancellation you will be disappointed. I tried everything I could think of to improve it. The way it handled the wind was good enough that I wanted it to work out. There was just too many calls where I had to ask people to repeat themselves because I couldn't hear them over the noise around me. I also had to repeat myself more then once in the noisy concrete truck.

    At about $80 it is too expensive in my opinion for not having good noise cancellation. I wonder if I had a bad unit because I did read some good reviews before buying it myself. At the end of the day, the low volume of the ear piece and the lack of good noise cancellation over shadowed the good wind performance. It just won't work for me.
