This new mono headset from Jugeman is designed primarily for business use, in the office or on the road. Priced at £24.99 it is not the most expensive in what is now something of a specialised market, but has been built to premium quality and aimed at higher end users.
In the attractively designed box can be found the headset, magnetic charging case, charging cable, three earbuds of varying sizes (one fitted) and a well written, nicely printed and easy to read User Guide. Build quality throughout has a distinctly upmarket and high end feel to it with nothing looking likely to fail anytime soon.
The 180° rotating ear hook is a comfortable fit, looping over the ear with a 270° adjustable microphone stalk pointing to the mouth. The headset has three buttons, Multi-Function and Volume Rocker on the outer face with a Switch button on the rear with below it the status LED. The case has an LCD battery status display on the inside with a USB-C charging port on the outside.
Using the headset could not be easier. Use the MF button to turn on and off, Bluetooth pairing, call switching and to turn the microphone on/off. The Switch button for play/pause, take/end calls and engage with Siri or other personal assistants. The Volume Rocker controls audio volume and music track navigation.
As with all Bluetooth 5 devices, pairing was quick and easy and with seamless reconnection later on. Call quality was perfect with a clear distortion-free call with no dropouts or outages during my testing.
Headset charging is done by simply placing the headset onto the charging block with charging status confirmed by the LED. A full charge from flat takes about 90 minutes and gives about eight hours of talk time depending on the volume setting. The case is charged through a USB port on the outside of the case.
One feature of this device is the ability to connect to two Bluetooth devices at once. To do this connect to the first device in the normal way and then disconnect it. With the headset turned on and the first device turned off then simply pair the second device as before. Now turn on the first phone again and both phones will be connected. This is easier to do than it sounds and works well for me.
The headset is water-resistant although not fully waterproof, so do not swim with it on. There is no grommet protection for the charging port which means the case is not water-resistant.
Playing music through a single earpiece is never a good experience but the sound was clear sharp and about as good as you could expect from this form factor.
This is a quality piece of kit and would look great not just in your truck but also in your home office or workplace.
