Summary
Like many people out there, I too thought I would never become one of those headset people. I never wanted to be the guy walking around with a silly blinking piece of plastic in my ear pretending that I was someone important. But about six...
Strength
Excellent sound quality, appearance
Weakness
Pinches the ear
Bottom Line
This phone looks great and works very well and I was hard pressed to come up with even one complaint about it!
Let's face it, you're going to buy a bluetooth headset. Oh, you can certainly fight it as long as you can, but you will buy one and soon. Why? Because it is becoming law to have a hands free set up with your cell phone in the car. It already is in...
Strength
Voice quality second to none, great battery life, sleek design
Weakness
Somewhat uncomfortable, a little on the pricy side
Bottom Line
If you ever wanted to make the quality of your calls honestly better, you want the Jawbone
The Jawbone is one of the few headsets available that incorporates a real noise reduction system. Most headsets generically labeled as "noise cancelling" or "DSP processor" just don't deliver. I'm comparing this product with the only one other really...
Strength
Noise reduction works as advertised. Cool look, in the package and in use.
Weakness
Poor fit, included accessories don't help. So-So battery life. Poor usability
Bottom Line
Usability and fit are concerns for this high tech headset.
...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...
Strength
Noise Shield technology really works, interchangeable earbuds and ear loops for a customized fit.
Weakness
Expensive, a little heavy, may not be able to get the perfect fit for you.
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.

Summary
Purchased my black Jawbone last month to augment my collection of Bluetooth headsets. I, like many others have been in search of the perfect BT headset. Headsets I've tried I started with the Motorola BT headsets, the HS810 & the H700, they...
Strength
Good noise cancellation, long battery life, the fit is perfect with a custom molded earpiece.
Weakness
Function buttons kinda hard to use, non-standard battery charger (should have been a mini USB)
Bottom Line
The fit was really awful but I liked the functionality of this headset, now with the custom molded earpiece it's a pleasure to wear & use.
I love gadgets and am constantly on the lookout for the next great item. When it comes to bluetooth headsets, I've continued to be disappointed, no matter what I try-that is, until the Jawbone came along. My aging Blackberry 8700 was beginning to...
Strength
Excellent sound (why else would you have it?), virtually eliminates background noises. Great product!
Weakness
Challenging to figure out how to set. Just read the manual, you won't have problems.
Bottom Line
Great item, and now a better price. New and advanced technology that will be the new standard for earpieces!
We had tried a few different bluetooths with 'noise reduction' (or Audio IQ) and they were awful. Oh, not for the one using it, but for everyone else who had to hear them! EVERYTIME my husband used another bluetooth it sounded like he was in a laundry...
Strength
Clear Sound, the Noise Reduction really works, light and comfortable.
Weakness
Little costly, but worth it. Other than that, none.
I had used an older bluetooth headset for while but the sound quality was always spotty and I didn't find it very practical after a while. Recently I was in the market for another headset for work. I'm not a fan of people who are constantly wearing the...
Strength
Superior sound quality and performance. Best of the best.
Weakness
Awkward size, somewhat fragile.
Bottom Line
If you're frequently using a headset and always have it on, this is the best one, hands down.
Great product, great sound quality in noisy environments

Summary
Having been somewhat passively searching for a Bluetooth headset for the past few months, I purchased the Jawbone about a week ago. I have been amazed with the sound quality and clarity, even in noisy environments. For anyone not familiar with...
Strength
Sound Quality, comfort, ease of connection with mobile phone.
Weakness
Looks a little funny :)
Bottom Line
I would definitely recommend the Jawbone to anyone who is interested in purchasing a Bluetooth headset. The sound quality, comfort and ease of use make it a definite winner.
I really wanted to like this headset but my experience has been horrible. I'm very experienced with cell phones and bluetooth ear pieces, and this is by far the worst of the bunch. The worst feature is supposed to be the coolest - No visible buttons!...
Strength
When it works, it works very well, but it hard to keep working without interruption.
Weakness
Way overpriced, too hard to fit properly, unreliable performance, difficult to use while wearing.
Bottom Line
Unless you are a masochist, run away from this unit as fast as you can! Too Expensive for what you get. Who needs to pay over $100 to be frustrated?
