Jabra Stone3 Bluetooth Headset

Exceptional Design. Superior Sound.

While reviewing the Jabra Motion, I mentioned being a big bluetooth fanatic, as you might have read in that article, and I was ecstatic when the great team at Jabra provided us with the Jabra Stone 3 to test and review. After using the business class Jabra Motion for a few weeks, I had a bit of change in store for myself when switching to Jabra’s Stone 3.

First of all, the Motion had the flip down boom mic and the Stone 3 does not. It simply wraps behind the ear in one smooth motion. The Jabra Stone 3 is smaller and lighter then most bluetooth headsets I’ve reviewed.
It comes with a carrying case that looks like a stone, hence the name. The case doubles as a portable charger – when taken away from it’s USB cable, the case can charge the Stone 3 while on the go.

I’ve been testing the Jabra Stone 3 a bit longer then most review units because I wanted to be able to test it with an iPhone 5S as well as the iPhone 5. I have now used the Stone 3 with iOS 7 on both the iPhone models and found it works flawlessly.

With the Jabra Stone 3, you can answer or reject calls by using your voice. There are spoken set-up instructions, caller ID and battery level warnings. The Jabra Stone 3 also features NFC technology, which is unfortunately not available on the iPhone. The Stone 3 allows users to stream music, podcasts or GPS directions. It has up to 2 hours of talk time with 120 hours of standby time and you can get up to four complete battery recharges inside the carrying case. Plus, it only take 20 minutes for the headset to recharge from the case.

One of the features the Jabra Stone 3 does not include is AVRCP, which means you cannot control music directly from the headset. It does, however, support Bluetooth 3.0 and will auto pair with devices.

The microphone is a dual microphone with Noise Blackout and the speakers have Digital Signal Processing (DSP) that optimizes your voice and suppresses echoes. This is another feature I really appreciate with the Stone 3 because so many headsets I’ve used have disappointed me time and time again with annoying echoes. With the Stone 3, I’ve not experienced echoes of any kind.

My favorite feature from the Stone 3 is that you can pack it away in a pocket very quickly using its charging case. It’s so light if you keep it on you all day it won’t feel like a pocket full of heavy change.

I enjoy using multiple bluetooth devices so while I use the Jabra Motion at my desk while talking to clients, I take the Jabra Stone 3 everywhere I go. With its hard rubber design and beautiful smooth stone charging case, it’s the best way to have a great headset while on the go.

    Cal – great review. Very detailed. I have a question. I too am a fanatic blue tooth user. Mainly as a result of loosing several models several times. I’m hoping the easy case helps me to keep tract of the device. My question is this. I just purchased the device and the charging lights don’t seem to work. Are these lights to indicate that the device is charging or that the case is charged? I was told at the store the case is not a charger. Also the instruction manual is not very helpful. Being one who simply pulls things from the package and connects I didn’t find the manual helpful the one time I have a question. But what is NFL Zone?

      Mike – Thanks for the compliment on the article. Let me see if I can answer your questions. First of all, the case does act as a battery pack for the headset. When the headset is inserted into the case, it will recharge even without the cable. As for the lights, there are a couple of different lights on the case itself. There are three LED dots that light up right when you connect the headset to the case. These indicate how much of a charge the case has. They will light up briefly and then go dark. The other light is a red light that lights up when the case is plugged into the wall and charging. When it’s fully charged, it will turn green. I’m not sure what you mean by NFL Zone, but if you’re referring to the NFC zone, a NFC compatible device can be touched to the Jabra Stone 3 to connect to it. NFC stands for Near Field Communication and is available on many Bluetooth mobile devices, but not with the iPhone. I hope this helps with your problem. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

      Yasaman,

      Both are great headsets. The best way to decide is to determine what you will be using it for the most. I personally like the Jabra Stone 3 better because the stone acts as a battery and protects the headset while on the go.

    I just got one of this Jabra stone 3, and it so happens that when I charge the stone base to full and put in the head set to charge it doesn’t charge. I have kept it on the dock for 2 days now and when I remove it from the dock it still says you have zero talk time with the battery status blinking red. I have cleaned the terminals and yet no solution. do you have any advice as to what can be done?

    Im using My Jabra stone 3 for 2 weeks. From the first day it sometimes read the caller name and mostly it just read the caller’s number (from people I have in my contact list).
    The caller name appears everytime on my phone display, but jabra mostly read only the number. My phone is HTC One M9

    It might have something to do with the phone. It works with the iPhone without any problems. Wish I would be more help.
