Best so far

User: M West, Jul 9, 2008

Pros:	size, weight, sound quality
Cons:	Fit, unpairing sometimes

I have tried maybe 6 BT Sets, and this is the only one that I could hear and be heard while outside. I think the fit is the key.I choose to use the thin clip, with a little bending to get it right where the sensors was in contact with my face, and the Bud in my ear. Normaly would have not taken the time to play with the clips and bud, almost returned it.

After I did get the fit right driving with the window down, radio on, or at the mall... no problem. Been using a Treo since the 600 had given up on BT with the Treo because of could not find one to work. Now 700p and Jawbone are a good pair.

Works great but not with the Palm Treo 650...

User: Gary Elliott, Oct 22, 2008

Pros:	Great sound and great noise elimination.
Cons:	Bluetooth requirements might limit some phones.

Love the quality, sound and noise elimination. Unfortunately I have to return mine and either look at the original Jawbone or the BlueAnt competitor.

Why? The JB, instead of going into standby, turns off after 15 minutes of non-use. The JB support folks say it is an issue with the Treo 650 and they dont anticipate Palm putting out a patch. Have to agree with the latter but not so sure of the former.

I went round-and-round with resets and research trying to see what I was doing wrong, only to find this limitation. Bummer.

Had High Hopes, Not Much

User: mad max, Jun 19, 2008

Pros:	small, sleek design, stylish, light weight
Cons:	fit, poor sound quality, low volume, hard to hear, does not block wind

i have to say, i was excited to get the new jawbone ever since the first one came out a year or more ago. everything i had heard and reviews i had read, even friends who had them said they were amazing ... boy was i disappointed!

fit: the design is awesome, but the fit is horrible. i dont have weird ears or anything, it just didnt fit well at all, forget the loops, and the ear gels are all but worthless. it just hung really poorly on my ear, not snug at all.

noise assassin: i couldnt hear the other people on the other end of my phone unless the earpiece was literally jammed into my ear and the volume on the jawbone turned up to its loudest setting. even with the volume up all the way i was still struggling to hear the caller while walking around a busy downtown street. the people i called told me they still heard everything in the background even after spending tons of time attempting to adjust the voice sensor against my cheek.

the funny part of this is that even with me holding the sensor against my cheek, every sound in the background was still audible to the person on the other end -- i dunno, maybe it was defective?! For example, i thought walking around downtown with cars, buses, trucks, horns blarring, etc. would all be filtered out - WRONG! Even being underground where it is quieter while waiting for the subway train to arrive it was noisy. i thought this device should at least be able to filter out the sound of the train arriving - FORGET ABOUT IT! The wind was also a huge issue and was completely audible on every call.

Thinking this was a good buy i got one for my wife and i just this week - i am a power phone user, im always on it and im all over the place. ive tested it in and out of buildings, in the subway, on surface streets, in my office, at home, in my car, and just about every other place you would imagine all within 2 days. I will be returning both devices tomorrow without delay.

Grade: C-

Not worth the money

User: E Portzline, Sep 17, 2008

Pros:	Noise reduction (possibly), better charging cable connection
Cons:	Cost, sound quality, charging cable unwieldy

It would seem that Aliph has spent more on marketing than actual product improvement. From the packaging, to the branding (Noise Assasin(R)!!!), to the catchy slogans ("go change the world- we know you can do it!"), it is clear that Aliph spent more trying to get us to buy the headset than to make it worth more.

No matter what combination of ear hook and ear gel I tried, I could not get the thing to consistently fit. If it doesnt fit, it doesnt work. I compared it to the Plantronics 925 and 665/655 models. In every way, the Plantronics were superior. All three Plantronics models have more features (three charging options and carrying cases) that the Jawbone doesnt even offer. Whats more, each of these Plantronics models fit into the ear with no loop. They weigh at least half what the Jawbone weighs.

But none of the arguments sold me on the Plantronics more than this one: Every time I used the Jawbone, people asked either a) "Are you feeling well?" or b) "Where are you?" It seems that, even when fitted properly, my voice was so distorted to the party with whom I was speaking, that it annoyed them. Even though the Plantronics models dont have noise reduction, they do employ technology to ensure that I can hear the other party the best. In side-by-side testing, without letting others know that I was testing headsets, not a single person complained about the sound quality with the Plantronics headsets- no matter from where I called. Everyone complained (no exceptions) about the sound quality with the Aliph.

Save your money and buy a better headset. The Plantronics 925 looks better, too!
