Amazon.com Product Description Setting new standards for mobile voice clarity and personal style, the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset by Aliph represents a complete departure from the gadgetry of the mobile headset industry. Originally developed for military use in extreme environments, Jawbone features NoiseAssassin--a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguish your voice from background noise. 
The new Jawbone in black. |  |  | Widely recognized as the best Bluetooth headset on the market, the new Jawbone is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone, offer over 4 hours of talk time, and comes with three earbuds and four earloops for a comfortable and personalized fit. Military-Grade NoiseAssassin Technology Developed over years of research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Jawbone's NoiseAssassin eliminates real world noise better than competing headset because it's the only hands free device that accurately separates human speech from ambient noise. Unmatched in its ability to remove noise from loud environments like busy streets, cars, crowded cafes, and airports, NoiseAssassin is comprised of two features unique to Jawbone: a patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) and proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a VAS that feels the speech vibrations from your jaw. This enables Jawbone to capture the distinct frequencies of your voice. Proprietary DSP algorithms work in concert with two powerful microphones and the VAS to accurately model surrounding noise and aggressively eliminate it from the conversation. Conventional "noise suppression" headsets do not have a Voice Activity Sensor and can only estimate when speech is occurring. This causes performance issues like voice distortion, especially in the presence background noise. Not Just a Headset, It's Earwear Made with premium materials like medical-grade plastic and fine leather, the new Jawbone with NoiseAssassin combines science and beauty in the most unassuming, yet richly detailed product. Every effort has been made to contain best in class noise suppression technology in a miniature form that is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone. The new Jawbone accomplishes a clean and sophisticated look thanks to invisible buttons. Touch-surface technology allows the user to operate switches by lightly pressing the outer shield. Curved and rectilinear to follow the face, the outer shield is lightly textured and inspired by three-dimensional noise abatement surfaces. The infer surface, the one touching your face and creating contact with the Voice Activity Sensor, is gently curved to be ergonomic and comfortable on your skin. Offering a comfortable and personalized fit, the new Jawbone comes with three sizes of earbuds and four earloops--two sizes of leather and two of slim, which are ideal for use with eyeglasses. Jawbone can also be worn on either ear and with or without an earloop. Specifications - Talk time: Over 4 hours
- Standby time: Over 8 days
- Range: Up to 33 feet (10 meters)
- Weight: 10 grams (0.35 ounces)
- Supports Bluetooth 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
- 80 percent charge in 35 minutes (full charge in less than 1 hour)

TERRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY July 22, 2008 RioRealtor 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I wasted an entire evening trying to get this stupid thing to stay on/in. NONE of the 3 earbuds and several ear loops did anything close to keeping the device on, and you can FORGET hoping that it will stay on your ear and touching your face like the instructions say it must do for you to be heard. Not only does it move away from your face with any talking or movement, however slight, but it falls out/off if you dare turn your head or make any sort of movement, even slow, careful movement. It's good looking, but utterly USELESS.
Soo pretty, but terrible fit July 25, 2008 R. Rivera (New York, NY) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was really, really excited about this product. My friends have had great success with the original Jawbone, and the technology is the top of the line. It arrived and was BEAUTIFUL, really like jewelery. But it just doesn't fit. I'm fairly petite and have small ears. It almost falls out of my ear, and doesn't stay close to my head. If its not in contact with your cheek the other person can't hear you. Which is a shame because the sound I hear is crystal clear. A big dissapointment.
The Pros & Cons August 30, 2008 Janta Ki Seva Inc. (Chico, CA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have the older style, and this was my attempt to try the new style. Pros: 1. Smaller 2. Better fitting than original 3. SUPER SEXY! 4. fits in the pocket easier 5. Charges SUPER FAST 6. Light as air Cons: 1. Loop broke within 1 week (no shocker, old style broke fast too) 2. Battery goes dead insanely fast, cant make it half the day! 3. Range is HORRIBLE (less than half the old version "about 5 feet clear 10ft scratchy with my Iphone 3G" 4. I think you have to turn on noise cancel every time,, or I'm doing something wrong. 5. Its almost too light! You forget you have it in your ear. SUMMARY: This is an improvement over the old Jawbone which killed my ear, broke ear loops constantly,,, However, the decrease in range and battery life is a real killer. Be prepared to buy more earloops, complain to the company, and maybe even turn on the noise cancelling. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE NOISE CANCEL AND SEXY FACTOR, I WOULD GIVE IT A 1 STAR, but apple has shown us, you CAN take your customers for a ride if you just make it look good enough (i own 4 macs, no pc's) Hope this helps :)
It's so great! September 10, 2008 ivytwines (Columbus, OH) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I really like this product. I drove on the highway at 70mph alternately raising and lowering my window, and my friend couldn't tell the difference. I sounded completely clear to him in both cases -- clearer than when I was just using my phone inside my apartment! Just to be clear, the jawbone doesn't claim to make the other person sound clear to you, rather it makes you sound clear to the other person. so if you couldn't hear the other person on your phone before, the jawbone isn't going to help you much. it does let you choose from several volume options, some which get quite loud and actually hurts my ears. Because you have to scroll through the volume settings (you can't just choose the one you want, and you can't go backwards on the list) I've found the best solution is to leave it on its quietest setting and set the bluetooth volume through my KRZR's bluetooth volume settings. Sometimes I get static and lose signal if the phone is out of line of sight of the earpiece, including if it's in my pants pocket on the other side of my body. but i think this is because the krzr's bluetooth signal is not that strong. My friend with an HTC touch phone has no problems with his jawbone losing connection with his phone. I can walk pretty far away from my phone without static occuring if the jawbone maintains a line of sight connection with it. the combination of beautiful form and above average noise cancellation makes for a great bluetooth headset!
Finally a great bluetooth tool July 11, 2008 Todd Coffindaffer (Seattle, WA USA) 4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have tried and own many bluetooth products over the past two years. Only one did I truly like and it stopped working not a month after I purchased it. This beautiful works as advertised, it fits and feels well on and in the ear. You do truly get what you pay for.
