 Best headset, period! August 28, 2007

I talk while driving and California law just imposed a hefty fine if not talking hands free. I'm frugal about gadgets and the jawbone is expensive, but the jawbone is hardly a gadget. It's remarkably easy to set up and equally easy to use. But the noise filters are something truly space age. Just push a a button, hidden below the noise shield and viola' your caller hears only your voice. How'd they do that? I don't know, but I do know several people that have been using hands free headsets and they've all switched to the jawbone. Another great feature is the tiny, super directional microphone which rests against your jaw. It enables you to talk in whispers and still be heard clearly by the person you're on the phone with. I don't know what the guy who says it's cheap is complaining about, it's light, rugged, compact, crystal clear send and reception, the ear pieces switch in a flash. This is a great tool, one that speaks of your courtesy for others when talking on your phone in public places, and the safety of yourself and those around you while driving.
 Muffled and scratchy - Unsatisfactory October 7, 2007

Because this item depends on the contact microphone for sound pickup, it is not suitable for guys with beards! I made only two calls with this headset and both parties complained about the voice quality and high noise levels. I'm going shopping for a boom-style headset...
Best Bluetooth headset ever January 3, 2008

I'm sure I'm not going to be adding a lot of info to what is already being said about the Jawbone. I'm just writing to weigh in. I've tried several Bluetooth headsets, all Motorolas, and although they work fine, they don't even come close to the noise cancellation abilities of the Jawbone.
Sometimes I try a test while I'm driving: I turn on some music at about conversation level, meaning that if somebody else were in the car with me, we may have to raise our voices just slightly to be clearly heard over the music playing in the car. Then, I call somebody while using the Jawbone. I ask them "How do I sound?" The answer is always positive. I then ask "What do you hear in the background?" Usually, the answer is "Nothing", or sometimes they'll say they can hear something but can't tell what it is. I then raise the volume until it's a little tough for me to hear the callee while the music is playing, and I ask again "What do you hear in the background?" Finally, the person will usually say that they hear some kind of music, but it has to get pretty loud before they can tell what music it is.
Everybody I know who has a Jawbone has similar experiences with the noise-cancellation feature. It's just a great product, and well worth the price.
Noise shield that works September 19, 2007

My wife and I both use a Jawbone. The auto volume and noise shield features are the best that I have ever used. Just turn it on and use it. The earloops break so have a couple of extras. Be careful when removing the charger. Do not pull off. Bend like breaking a pencil in half and the charger comes off easily. Even though I wish the Jawbone was a little more heavy duty, IT IS THE BEST SOUNDING BLUE TOOTH AROUND
 Bad design and overpriced October 16, 2007

I have owned a jawbone for about a year. The earloops are uncomfortable and break with regularity. Replacement earloops cost about $20 and I have gone through 4 in less that the year I have had the headset. This is a basic design flaw and the earloop is necessary for the unit to work properly. Expect to pay about $20/year to maintain this device or buy Plantronic or another brand.
