Jawbone

Pros: Noise cancellation is unsurpassed.<p>Fitting, once done is first rate.

Cons: Fitting process takes a long time.<p>Sound quality can be a little "tinny"

The Bottom Line: If you want to eliminate background noise and want to be heard, this is the headset.

Review: I purchased Aliph Jawbone in January of 2007 after having lackluster experiences with various models of bluetooth headsets out there. I wanted the freedom of the wireless headset but wanted the sound of a wired unit. Until the Jawbone came along, I ...

Pros: $50 price! clear sound, military noise cancelling, trendy, easy to hook up. voice dialing

Cons: none!! love it!!

Review: purchased the jawbone online after seeing the price go down to $50 from the original $125 now that the jawbone 2 is out. after reading reviews of jawbone 2, seems that the older model jawbone works much better that the latter.paired with my ...

Pros: Noise Shield technology really works, interchangeable earbuds and ear loops for a customized fit.

Cons: Expensive, a little heavy, may not be able to get the perfect fit for you.

The Bottom Line: It really does what it claims and is the closest thing to a perfect fit. Stylish and understated, I sometimes forget I'm wearing it.

Review: ...well, I do talk to myself sometimes, now I have an alibi...Jawbone! I decided I needed a bluetooth device for a couple of reasons... 1. I do a lot of freeway driving, and, although there is no law against talking on a cellphone while driving in ...

Pros: Electronics and controls are fair to good but not excellent.

Cons: Fit for acoustic coupling and security is a nightmare.

The Bottom Line: Use a car speakerphone or bluetooth head loops to force a tight fit in both ears.  Industry is not ready with single ear coupling that is secure and acoustically sound.

Review: I bought two of these, one for myself and one for my wife. Pairing with Samsung U550 and Samsung u700 was easy. Control of volume is poorly designed because the other party has to be talking before you can really know what you are doing. The tones ...

Pros: Fair audio quality

Cons: Poor battery life; expensive.

Review: My bluetooth Jawbone has horrible battery life.  I can fully charge it (which takes approximately 3 hours even when plugged into a/c current), talk on it for 10 minutes, turn it completely off, and the battery will be dead within 48 hours--with no ...

Pros: Of 3 brands I've tried, Jawbone is the best at removing background noise

Cons: Poor charger connection. Can't switch ears without switching ear loops.

The Bottom Line: If you must remove background noise, the Jawbone works. Just learn how to overcome the other weaknesses or wait for more mature packaging to hit the market.

Review: While driving, listeners used to comment that I sounded like I was in a washing machine. That all ended when I got the Jawbone. The noise cancelling technology is EXCELLENT!!! I've tried bluetooth headsets from Motorola, Plantronics, and Aliph. The ...

Pros: Not so many

Cons: Bad voice recognition, poor engineering, possibly poor materials.

Review:

Our employer purchased these because of the reputation that came with them.  They do have decent sound quality, but do not reduce background noise as well as they claim.  And the voice recognition leaves a lot to be desired.
