I bought the things in the local media market, because the Rox are available here on Amazon or only over other traders, but then to outrageous prices. I paid 129, -.
First I have to say, I hear for 20 years on the road with mostly mid-priced music headphones in ears, I use since 2000, here so far really only Sony, as already mentioned.
The sound of the Jabra Rox is not bad, as you can the testimonials on Youtube and elsewhere on the net (unfortunately are not too many tests) only agree, the sound is very balanced, but for people who are on more bass-heavy sound, are the Rox MMN not quite the truth.
The build quality is good, but can other manufacturers also. As a big plus here is very often the Verwwendung of steel, more specifically cited stainless steel, both the Jabra page as well as in various YT videos. Somehow suggests that a massive value or something like that, so according to the motto ,, manufactured from solid metal "! But that is not so, it's just that normal thin stainless steel has been incorporated to the housings. The make other manufacturers as well, and I do not know if that's even with an in-ear headphones need a high-quality plastic can also be very well made and reduces the weight one more time by a few tenths of a gram. Not much, but still, I'll be more so if it comes to wearing.
Charging going quite well and the battery seems to be persistent. I would have still required a charger for the price, the USB cable is yes, but you're going at the Jabra believes that one always has a ready laptop or you simply use the chargers its phones for the Rox? As a rule, I invite my Hnady overnight and I'm traveling a lot, what I bought the Rox also, I invite them also overnight. As a separate USB charger would not have been bad. But I chalk. Not as a lack of proper, because I knew beforehand that only the cable supplied is
Those are the good aspects of the Jabra Rox.
And now we come straight to the bad points:
The seat ... I've found in the included ear adapters made of silicone none that fit right to me. Luckily, you can also find other models, in my case, just try out Sony as well as from a Samsung headset. These fit me very well so far, but on the Rox will not get these. I get the Passtsücke not pushed far enough into the ear canal, because that case just then been applied. The plugs should be considerably lower insert, which simply is not the case. The middle pair, which is already on it even at delivery, although fits so-so, but also allow the listener to slip out again and again, so that the good sound breaks off and one is constantly on readjustment. The Earrings will not help in my case this had little to no benefit. You are too soft and do not last as I thought so. Incidentally, I have carefully followed the manufacturer videos Customize.
Since we are already talking about the weight, as mentioned above: The table gives the listener with a total of 19 grams ... that does not seem much, it is not when you consider what's it all comes together on technology in the smallest space. However, the weight seems you are already in the comfort of, because I had the feeling that too short insertion path ear simply contributes the weight in connection with the constant for dissolution in the shell with.
Normal wired In Ears weigh 3-9 grams, so that you have to remember just when you want Bluetooth In Ears have as normal In Ears an entire track are comfortable, wei I find!
Another annoyance is that the rather large housing but very disturbing to the ear, do me they even quite painful on the ear cartilage. That may just well be related to that the eartips not be introduced far enough and you're constantly on Rumdrücken the handset.
All clouded my impression very much, but we come to the most serious problem, namely, the Bluetooth connection:
You can connect the Rox very quickly via NFC goes quite well, however, until you hit the site at various NFC mobile phones exactly the connection you can also set up manually in the device menu. The connection itself is also so very good, no trace of noise or other problems. However, it is with me so that the connection about every 10 - starts 15 minutes to demolish. When the way listening is it so that suddenly begins to hack the music, first a little, then always Doller. Hearing is then no longer possible. Only after a connection disconnect and re-connect it goes smoothly again.
The whole thing is the way also with the ingenious se feature the magnetic receiver that. You can merge both handset magnetically, so that they have been around the neck and does not lose and the listener rumpendeln not wild. At the same time the receiver switch to standby mode and the call is disconnected. Solving the handset and wants to hear this switch on again and make the connection to the Windows Media Device Restores ... well, they should in any case. In two of three experiments, it does not work, either hacked the music or the connection can not even produce properly so that you hear nothing. Since helps only manual uncoupling and re-coupling again, which is quite annoying.
Why everything is so, I could not figure out, I have the Rox on three different phones tested (2 x SGS 3, 1 x Huawei Y300) as well as on a laptop with Windows, on all devices came this connection disruptions, the normal music listening or film-look for a long time is not possible. In addition I must mention that I was never more than one meter from the device away with the Rox. On the way is my phone in a backpack or in the left pocket, that are so max. 80 cm, the device and Rox are apart.
For me, the most annoying defect that goes not so.
As for other tests, in particular, on Youtube, because you realize that it is not right to practice and long-term experience, but rather unboxing videos. For only the size of Rox-housing and their poor fit would still stand out others when they are tested for correct or has a clue of In Ears. From long experience one can with me even not speak, but two intensive days of testing a weekend brought up but the clarity that is here now.
I summarize times together:
+ Sound, very good, very balanced, no noise of the radio link o. Ä.
+ Processing good
0 delivery OK, charger instead of only USB cable would be better.
0 the supplied bag actually worthless, Hard Case would be better
- Poor fit, ear plugs can not be inserted deep enough
Earrings too soft for me useless for proper maintenance and -
- By the housing do the ear cartilage hurt on which rest these
- Bluetooth connection unstable, breaks off constantly,
- Microphone for telephony in the left earpiece too bad, acceptable understanding only in quiet rooms
For the processing and the very good sound but I give two stars, but more is just not there, I even thought of only one star, which also would actually OK, because you may not use the handset.
I'll have to give the Jabra Rox back and look around for good cabled In Ears. Wahrscheinlkich there are now again the Sony XBA series.
