Jawbone's perforated shield curves to match the outline of your face while the inside surface is made from medical grade plastic to provide a soft and smooth feel on the skin. Jawbone can be worn on either ear, and you can customize your fit by choosing an earloop and earbud from the several shapes and sizes provided. Jawbone's ergonomic design enhances the acoustic performance and keeps the device lightweight, stable and comfortable. How it works- Jawbone measures the ambient noise around you and automatically enhances the incoming audio and adjusts the volume to make every incoming call sound crystal clear. Using adaptive sound technology, the Jawbone uses two microphones and a voice activity sensor. When placed against the cheek, the sensor detects voice vibrations rather than picking up the sound from your mouth. Excellent sound quality, adaptive noise cancellation, catchy design and comfortable fit. | | | Features: | |

 Great headset. Awesome noise reductionJun 27, 2007
By Steven M. Godlewski
"PillFreeVitamins"
I have had this headset for about 3 months now. The noise reduction is remarkable. I can be in a airport and no one even knows I am out of my office.
Wind is a problem with this headset as with any other headset. The noise reduction does not reduce wind noise. If it's a windy day you are out of luck but I don't know of any headset that works that way.
Sound - The sound is a little tinny but you get used to it pretty quickly.
Comfort - I have owned at least a dozen Bluetooth headsets and this is by far the most comfortable. There are different clips and ear pieces that come with the headset. I have worn it for over 8 hours straight and don't even know it's there.
Charging - Propriety USB charger that plugs into the back of the phone. They also supply a plug for an outlet so you can charge it without your computer. I bought 2 chargers one for home and one for my laptop bag.
Battery - Very good battery life. I cannot remember exact times but I use it often every day and have not run out of charge yet.
Storage - This is the one thing that is a pain. It does not come in a case and putting it in your pocket is a real pain. I know this is trivial but I wish there was a case for it when I am not wearing it.
Overall I really like this headset and can honestly say this is the best one I have owned.

Decent Sound Quality, But ...Sep 17, 2007
By Christopher M. Adams
All the reviews and marketing I've heard for Jawbone, including the Demo on their website, tout how great the sound quality is. What they don't tell you is that it's only great for the person to whom the Jawbone user is speaking. But the sound is no different to the Jawbone user than any other Bluetooth headset.
The charger attachment is cumbersome, and although I've only owned my Jawbone for 4 months, is already coming loose.
Also, the Earloop is terrible. It's difficult to put it on, very uncomfortable, and breaks monthly. In the 4 months I've owned my Jawbone, I've had 4 Earloops break. And Jawbone doesn't allow you to buy just the replacement part that is right for you. Instead, you have to buy their full 4-pack, which has 2 different sizes for each ear. So to get the size that is right for you, you have to either buy a full 4-pack monthly (very expensive over time), or suffer as I have with Earloops that are not right, thus not confortable for you, for 3 of the 4 months, until you're forced to purchase yet another 4-pack. This may be great for their balance sheet, but it's unnecessarily expensive and very frustrating for the user.
This product is great if your main concern is how well the person to whom you're speaking can hear you. But for yourself, there are better products out there -- like the Jabra headset I used to have.

 Decent sound, horrible fitDec 03, 2007
By magicker71
After using the Jawbone for several months all I can say is I completely regret ever buying it. The sound quality is good, but nothing particularly special either despite all of their claims. The sound quality is a bit better than my previous $50 Motorola bluetooth headset.
The main problem with the Jawbone, as many others have said, is the terrible fit. I typically wear the Jawbone for both legs of a 30 minute commute to work and at least half the time the Jawbone begins falling out of my ear requiring constant adjustment. When talking I usually have to hold the Jawbone into my ear with one hand so it works properly. Kinda defeats the purpose of a wireless headset.I've tried various combinations of the included earpieces and ear loops with no luck in finding a good fit.
Not recommended.

 Bad quality control and customer service from Aliph JawboneAug 08, 2007
By Mediahound
The Jawbone bluetooth headset is not really made very well and is a lot worse than people seem to give it credit for. Parts fall off after a short time and it is very cheaply made. It looks metal but really is cheap bendy plastic material.
Further, once you set it up, you can only use it on one ear. Other headsets (like Plantronics ones for example) allow you to swivel the earloop to switch ears if you get tired of using it on one ear. The Jawbone doesn't do this.
While the Jawbone's noise cancellation does seem good that's about all it has going for it because your voice still sounds muffled, soft and digital-like. Further, the Jawbone is too big and bulky to comfortably put it into a pocket to take with you.
But my main complaint is with the Aliph Jawbone company customer service itself-they are absolutely horrible. They advertise on their website that the Jawbone has a 1 year manufacture warranty to the end consumer. But, my Jawbone broke and when I contacted them about getting warranty service on it, they rudely informed me that they only provide warranties on units bought directly from their own website. If I bought from some other retailer, it has ZERO warranty! I'm not sure whether or not this is even legal, but do believe it reflects very poorly on the company that they don't even stand behind their own products.
I would never recommend buying this headset or any other made by Aliph.

Great Sound Quality, But...Jul 13, 2007
By Neal Gibson
I read all the reviews here before I bought my Jawbone, so I was a bit worried that I might have some of the problems people described with the earbud not fitting or the charger not working properly. I'm happy to report that I experienced neither of these problems. The headset fits perfectly around my ear, it doesn't slip even when I'm moving, and I'm barely aware that it's there. Also, the charger fits snugly into the socket and I haven't had any trouble with loose connections.
Sound quality seems to be great, the people I talked to say they can hear me fine even in loud environments. As mentioned in other reviews, this headset does not cancel wind noise, probably because wind noise is highly variable. So, don't expect to use this on a gusty day or while riding in a convertible.
My BIGGEST COMPLAINT with this product is the clunky charger. Why does every electronics company insist on introducing their own charger socket standard when there is a perfectly fine standard (Mini USB) already out there? Motorola phones, BlackBerries, most PDAs and many other headsets all use this standard charging socket. This means I don't need to lug around an extra charger, as I can charge my phone and headset off the same charger. Unfortunately, the Jawbone charger is completely nonstandard... I can't even get an iGo power tip for it. Finally, the charger itself is poorly designed. It's another "huge brick" that takes up two power sockets. The rubber cover that covers the socket on the headset when you're not charging removes completely and I'm sure I will lose it within a month. You'd think that a company that could design such a cool headset would put a little more thought into the charger.
However, you buy a headset to talk clearly and on that point this one delivers.
