They may be slim and gimmicky, but they sound reasonably good

  • For

    Slim; fold down neatly; good sound

  • Against

    Awkward fit; very strange design

These slim Jabra headphones fold out for action and power down – charging is via mains – when folded away.

The fit wasn’t quite right – flush against our heads rather than our ears.

It doesn’t seem possible that the touch controls could possibly work, so unassuming are they, but once mastered, the volume slider that doubles as skip track works fine.

Sonically they’re clear and detail is okay, while there’s a decent tonal balance compared to some rivals – but we’re left a little nonplussed. One for the Trekkies only, perhaps…
