The covers feature a variety of exciting patterns like the Leopard, Love Red, Passion Flower, Summer Cream, a transparent top cover is easily removed for inserting the different designs.

“The concept behind the Jabra BT160 was to create a headset that is functional, fashionable and above all fun, in line with the needs of Middle Eastern professionals who are constantly on the go. With 33 different designs already included in the package and the ability to create designs, users should never get bored with the look of their Bluetooth headset,” said Ahmed Elkalliny, Sales & Marketing Manager, Jabra MEA. “Design is an important factor for purchasing a Bluetooth headset and consumers in the Middle East are increasingly looking for new ways to stand out from the crowd. The Jabra BT160 provides an easy and affordable way to customise the look of your headset like never before.”
