Acclaimed design house, Jacob Jensen is behind GN Netcom’s latest innovative Bluetooth headset design. Retailing at £99 ($195 approx), this class headset focuses on authentic materials, intuitive technology, outstanding comfort and excellence in audio. It allows up-to six hours of continuous talk-time and can be charged simply using a PC via a USB cable or in the car.

image

The Jabra JX20 Pura weighs less than 13 grams and the ear-piece maximises comfort and conveniently rotates to switch the device on and off, preserving the integrity of the design. Recognising that one size does not fit all, the ear-hook is offered in two sizes along with two variants of ear-gel, empowering each user to select the most comfortable fit.

Every detail of the premium headset has been considered to ensure consistent design and style. A discreet white-light LED tells users about the status of their headset and uses soft light and minimal colour to ensure purity of the design.  Even the packaging and desk-stand are exclusively designed by Jacob Jensen to match the headset and create an experience that demonstrates the power of elegance.

The Jabra JX20 Pura is available exclusively with Carphone Warehouse throughout June and July and across the UK in additional selected retailers from August.
