 Sins of omission and assumptionDec 23, 2008
By Rebecca Leyon Jankura
(N.B. This review has nothing to do with the functioning of the product, but with the poor description from Amazon.)
I agree with the other reviewer. I did see that this was advertised as "bulk packaged", but I assumed it was new and complete, just without the fancy oyster-type plastic package. "Great," I said to myself, "no horrible plastic box."
What I received was a small dingy ziploc bag containing the Jawbone 2, a smudged power cord & charger, and a wrinkled sheet of horribly photocopied instructions. It appeared to have been used before, and not cleaned up very well, as evidenced by sticky black smudges on the USB cable and lots of lint clinging to the rubber earpiece. Also, none of the accoutrements that come with a "new" Jawbone 2 were included: extra ear hooks, extra in-ear pieces, etc.
Nowhere in the product description does it say "Brand new" or similar wording, but it also doesn't say "used and crappily packaged" either. For the extra $10-15, get the retail box version. I did, after I returned this one.

Don't waste your money trying to save the environmentDec 28, 2008
By Just My Opinion
I am in complete agreement with the previous reviewers. My husband asked what I wanted for Christmas. I wanted a new Jawbone 2 (we both have the originals, but wanted the new style). My husband and I both disliked the unnecessary plastic and excess packaging that came with the original Jawbones, so when I saw that Amazon had the "bulk packaged" Jawbone 2 at a great price, I sent him the link to it and told him it was the one I wanted.
The Jawbone itself is fantastic. Amazon's product description, however, is not. In fact, it is blatantly misleading.
The Jawbone 2 is supposed to come with two sizes (medium and large) of leather ear loops and two sizes (medium and large) of the "slim" ear loops. It is also supposed to come with three sizes (small, medium, large) of earbuds. The medium earbud and medium leather ear loop should be prefitted onto the Jawbone 2.
What we received was a Jawbone 2 (God only knows if it's new or used) with ONE earbud (size unknown because there is nothing for comparison) and one leather ear loop (size LARGE - size is marked on it). The USB (charging) cable has black grease all over one side of it (as if someone dropped it on the floor of a very dirty garage), and the AC part of the charger has little itty bitty scratches all over it.
The large ear loop is too big for me, so the dang thing slips right out of my ear. So, now I'm going to order a retail packaged Jawbone 2. < sigh > Sorry, Mother Earth, I am forced to purchase some extra trash.

I got screwed too!Dec 30, 2008
By Thomas Wood
This item is not as advertised. As the other reviewers have stated, we expected a complete, new Jawbone 2 without all the fancy retail packaging. Instead I received only part of what I paid for. A jawbone, a single earloop, a single earbud, and a cosmetically damaged AC Adapter. Buy the full version! And I hope you are reading these reviews instead of getting screwed like me.

Disappointed like everyone elseDec 27, 2008
By P. Denton
I actually made it a point to call Amazon before I ordered. I asked "Is this item new?" and "Is this the same exact thing as the retail package without the plastic?" Amazon answered "Yes." to both questions. I can't confirm the "new" status of the product, but I can definitely tell you it is not the exact same thing.
Box contents:
1 - head set
1 - ear bud
1 - ear loop
1 - charger cable
1 - barely legible photocopy. (c'mon...are you kidding me?!)
I ordered (2) thinking that saving $20-$30 was worth ditching the plastic.
Wrong. Spend the extra money and get what you are expecting.
I'm pretty disappointed considering these are sold by Amazon directly and not Joe's Basement Refurbished Electronics. (Yes, that's a fake store name. If not...sorry Joe. No offense.)
Replacement of this product with what I thought I was getting would have been nice, but I guess that's expecting a little too much customer service for today's world. I had to return and re-purchase at the higher price. Booooo Amazon.
Improve your product description ASAP.

 Works good with one but not the otherMar 12, 2009
By G. Harvey
The jawbone 2 works great with my Palm Treo 750, but leaves much to be desired with the iphone. This is the second one that the good people at Amazon have sent me and neither worked well with my wife's iphone. Lost phrases and high pitched tinny-ness at times.
I can definitely recommend it for the Treo. It's a great headset. But don't get the "bulk-pkg." You only get 1 ear stopper and 1 ear loop. Pay the extra for ALL the options.
