Product Description
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 TechnologyDeveloped 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. 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.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. 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.

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.

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.

3 out of 5 stars It's okay, but not great   November 18, 2008
The earpiece is basically for looks. It's lightweight and falls out of the ear constantly, and everytime I go to adjust or put it back it hangs up on the person I'm talking too. The range with my 3g IPhone isn't great either and the battery life lasts for about two phone calls and if it goes to stanby the next time you try it's dying on you. The background noise is cut out while walking and talking. Basically it's only good for the looks, and when using don't drop it.


4 out of 5 stars Jawbone works great - don't fit so good   November 11, 2008
Works great, but does not fit my ear too good and sharp edge hurts my ear.


2 out of 5 stars All HYPE   November 2, 2008
I waited for this product (GOLD version) and bought it online as soon as it was available. Not smart. The fit is horrible: it falls out constantly! In addition, there is no case so it will turn on when it is touched by other items in my purse. Also,the battery life is NANO seconds. This was a bad purchase decision and it cost too much $$$, whhich makes o sense given the poor fit. I bought it for the color and style instead of the quality. My dad was right: the best lessons are the ones we pay for....


5 out of 5 stars The best bluetooth I've owned besides the jabra   October 9, 2008
I have had this jawbone for only about 2 months. It works like a charm. Great investment. I have owned other bluetooth earpieces b4 (motorola- basically all models, the jabra) and I feel like there is nothing that can compare to this niose assasin invention. Shop On! Shop On!


5 out of 5 stars Awesome Product   October 6, 2008
This headset performs much better than expected. I have bought many bluetooth headsets with the goals of finding one that stayed paired to phone; had clear sound; had excellent range between phone and headset; was comfortable on ear; and provided noice cancelling features. This tops out all categories. Pairing with the Iphone 3G was a breeze. I can even talk with the windows down while driving on the freeway.
