An increasing number of manufacturers are bridging the gap between fashion and technology. It's the latest industry trend. Jabra's jumped into the race with its new Jabra BT160 Bluetooth Headset that comes packaged with thirty-three interchangeable covers. If you want to look fashionable when wearing a Bluetooth headset then the BT160's the product for you. It's the first Bluetooth headset with such a feature.

The BT160 has a transparent removable cover that can be replaced with the various design covers. And, if the packaged thirty-three are not enough you can design your own on the Jabra website and even exchange ideas with friends.

The thirty-three patterns include: Tango, Target, Mosaic, Sunflower, Zebra, Sundown, Turquoise, Royal Blue, Summer Cream, Powder Pink, Lime Spirit, Houndstooth, Rainbow, Versailles, Leopard, Autumn, Salmon, Glam Squares, Ladybug, Butterfly, Music, Swirl, Pink Orchid, Kiwi, White Orchid, Scotch and Red Velvet, Skull, T-Rex, Passion Flower, Love Red, Wild Kids, and Pinstripe.

All the fancy stuff aside, the BT160 has all the functionality necessary for hands-free mobile communication. It provides up to 6 hours of talk-time and up to 110 hours on standby. It's ultra-portable weighing in at just 16 grams. All controls are conveniently located on the headset. Additionally, you can voice-activate calls on your mobile phone. Pairing is simple - just press the answer/end and volume controls on the headset simultaneously.
