"The gilded touch hasn't evaded the mobile realm entirely, but it has been a tick since we've seen anything (well, anything worthwhile) come through that was Midas-approved. Bucking that trend is none other than Jabra, who is apparently readying a Cara Gold JX10 headset designed by Jacob Jensen. Reportedly, the device will be limited in production, will weigh less than ten grams, and will tout DSP technology to reduce background noise whilst chatting. Additionally, it should last through about six hours of talking before needing a recharge, and while we aren't much on wearing a BT earpiece around in public anyway, we'd be extra cautious with a $300 iteration."



I had one of these once (not the gold version) and I liked it while it lasted. If you go to the article you will notice the USB connector on the device is very tiny. The male end of the wire plug (without the stand) fit in both directions. Of course it should only fit one way. Eventually the connector broke on the device rendering it useless. A poor design if you ask me.

I still have and use a "normal" version of this and while it's fine and has a really good battery life, the earhook is really flimsy.
I had to glue it several times allready, and it just keeps breaking.

Come on! do we really need a gold headset? That's just silly.

I'm still thinking I'm going to pick up a JawBone - it's the same price and the non-gold version of this headset and looks like it's better quality audio.

Considering how fragile the thing appears to be, I say NO.

Who knows maybe there is a mobile user out there with a gold tooth to match?
