Jawbone bluetooth headset

I read the reviews, mostly positive and bought one. I was using a motorola E815 verizon cdma phone. The first one I got the microphone was defective. The outgoing audio was nothing but static. The incoming audio was scratchy. Thanks to Amazon's return policy is was very easy to exchange. The next one I got worked fair but not great. There was lots of static and a seemingly weak signal even though the phone was in my pocket.

I recently switched to an i-phone (new 3G). The pairing with the jaw bone was easy. The performance with the i-phone was better. So I think the performance may vary depending on the phone.

Now for the earpiece. It comes with 4 detachable ear loops and several in the ear inserts to customize your own fit for the left or right ear. If you keep the headset in your pocket or purse, there is a good chance the metal ear loop will get bent. The metal is very brittle, if you try to bend it back to the proper position it will break at the point where it inserts into the headset. The ear insert can also come off and get lost.

So while the performance was better, even acceptable with the i-phone. The custom fitting parts which must be used are fragile. An ear loop made with a more durable product would be acceptable. When you figure out which ear insert you like maybe a little glue to fix it place would be good.

For those of you thinking green... The packaging was excessive. A large hard plastic box with plastic inserts and small cardboard boxes inside.

With a better earpiece and ear insert and a compatible phone I would give it 4 stars. I bought a red one to find it easier when put in a bag or backpack.

Very easy to use, noise shields works wonders, I'm very glad I purchase the Aliph Jawbone

I bought the Jawbone thinking this is going to be so cool, cool it wasn't. First, the ear pieces that came with it don't help at all and appears to me they are almost the same. They fell off my ear so many times. It looks cool to wear I will say that much and the noise shield does work with the radio on NOT with wind though. Also, the stactic is bad don't walk anywhere without your cell cause the jawbone will lose the contact or make so much static you will want to throw it away, just return as I did. I did give it a one star only because I like the looks of it. I do wonder if the new one out is any better, but not worth my time to buy and find out.

The packaging is absolutely top class - the initial experience with this product when you open the box is awesome. I was somewhat disappointed in teh performance though. The noise cancellation feature seems to reduce the quality/volume of the audio - turn it off if the person on the other end has trouble hearing you.

I love this bluetooth. I have incredibly small ears and I could never find a bluetooth that would fit me. I have tried almost every brand they make. When this one arrived with two sizes of "hooks" and different ear bud sizes I was estatic. It fits great on my tiny ear and works very well. My only complaint is the noise shield doesn't seem to work very well cause the person you are talking to can still hear the wind in your phone when you are driving or in windy conditions. Other then that it is perfect!

The Jawbone rocks when it comes to clarity, functionality and weight. The only issue I have is the ear piece doesn't fit exceptionally well and I've broke (by bending) the wire piece that goes over the ear. Even with these little problems, I still love this headset.

I give the Jawbone 5 Stars. The noise reduction is very good, I can hear perfectly, and everyone can hear me (unless, of course, they don't have the jawbone). I never have a problem, yet when I'm talking to someone on an inferior headset, they have nothing but problems. The Jawbone is easy to connect and disconnect and I especially love the voice activation. I can tell it to dial a number, even if the number isn't stored in my phone. It's great. I highly recommend the Jawborn, and the price on Amazon.com is the best.

This product is absolutely wonderful. The sound quality is great. especially with the noise reduction. It looks much better than most of the earphones available and I actually prefer it more than the newer versions which only come in gold, silver and black. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the design of the rubber cap. Everyone I know who owns this lost the rubber cap within 2 days. I haven't lost mine, but that's because I have it in a small compartment in my purse. I don't even bother putting it on because it won't stay on with regular use. Besides that, everything is wonderful about this jawbone.

This is a good product. I have been used to over the head sets so this is something to get used to. I had to get the jabra ear gels to get it to fit right for me but that is not the fault of the jawbone.

Overall I like the color, the look, and the sound quality of the Jawbone. It does get a little fuzzy if I stray too far from the phone into another room nearby but my biggest problem is the fit. My father and I both have Jawbones, his black, mine red, but we both have a problem with it fitting and staying on our ears. He is a much larger man than I am and we both had trouble keeping the set on. I prefer to use my old cord set which fits in like a regular music headphone to my Samsung SYNC to the Jawbone which continuously slips off my ear and outside of my ear canal far too easily.

The Jawbone is simply the best bluetooth device I've ever used. Now that I've said that, it does come with a caveat: Bluetooth technology still has a ways to go before it becomes seamless in application. However, I do not get many complaints from callers while using the Jawbone - unlike when I used my Motorola headsets! Given that it California it is now illegal to drive and talk w/o a handsfree device, I did my research and spent the extra money. Glad I did. Buy with confidence.

WOW, this jaw bone is great no noise when talking at all the only thing I would change is the volume in the ear peace not loud enough when driving my 18 wheeler

I had high hopes for the Jawbone. I love the aesthetics and I completely bought into the noise reduction technology claims. While it is an improvement in terms of hearing conversations and having folks here me (while walking on busy Manhattan streets), it is extremely uncomfortable. I've tried all of the different ear piece configurations and wearing this device for more than 15 minutes is out of the question. Given that most of my conference calls last an hour, I'll be looking for another solution.

i've been trying to get this to fit comfortably in my ear for over a week now. it still hurts no matter what i do. radio shack has discontinued the gel pads that previous reviewers had mentioned, so i don't know what to do now.

the sound quality and noise shield works very, very well though!

update 12/2/08:
after ordering the jabra gel earpads online, i was able to get a better fit. however, the earloop just never fit securely over my ear. the last month or so, it continually falls off and drops to the floor which is a bad thing when you are driving as you are unable to search for it.

this morning, the earloop snapped totally off and broke. into the trash with this jawbone. this morning, i ordered a new plantronics 510.

the sound quality and total absence of background noise were perfect on this jawbone, but the fit was impossible and frustrating.

The reception is the best of any bluetooth device I've used. Unfortunately, the earpiece hurts my ear, as it isn't as soft as it could be, and doesn't fit "my" ear as well as it might for more comfort.

This headset is the best out there. I hardly ever get a echo when I am using it and the volume is great. Highly recommend.

Quite simply, the Aliph Jawbone Noise Shield Bluetooth Headset totally rocks! Believe me, I've gone through quite a few Bluetooth headsets in the last couple of years, and so I have quite a few to compare this one to.

First off, the design of it looks a bit off-putting. It uses military-grade noise reduction technology and the look of the headset makes me believe that this particular headset may have been originally intended for such use. It's not exactly the most attractive headset out there - definitely not the most feminine.

But to be completely honest with you, after trying a number of `prettier' headsets that either break easily, lose their pairing with the phone frequently, or just plain don't work as well I am all for sacrificing form for function.

All that said, while it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing Bluetooth headset, it is not the ugliest either. It is interesting to note the design differences in the newer Jawbone model that Aliph just released, however. They've presented a much more attractive version with a sleeker, less obtrusive style, seemingly proving that the manufacturer recognizes the customer's desire, frivolous though we may be, for a headset that is pleasing to the eye.

Now for the important part: how it works. The Jawbone was simple to pair with my cell phone (HP iPaq 6945 Unlocked Cell Phone with Wi-fi, GPS, MP3/Video Player, SD--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver)), as most Bluetooth headsets are. More importantly, I've paired it once and it has maintained that pairing without issue ever since, unlike the previous headset I owned which lost its pairing at least once a week, usually while mid-conversation. This is annoying, certainly, but for a user that won't use their cell phone while driving without a hands-free device, this is very unsettling. If I wanted/needed to continue a call while on the road, I disconnected the call, pulled over to re-pair the two devices, and then started my call and my trip again. This is a major issue for me, so I am extremely appreciative of Jawbone's reliability.

Next feature: Noise Reduction. Aliph makes a big deal about their noise reduction technology, and having now used it with amazing results, I understand why. They DESERVE to tout their success in this arena. Yeah, it is that good. Watching the videos they have on their website demonstrating the quality made me curious, but I admit to having my doubts that it could really eliminate background noise to the extent that they promised.

I've purposely stress-tested it in some pretty noisy situations. First of all, my own vehicle. I have an older car, and it seems to pick up all of the outside noise there is, even with my windows up. If it is raining, my callers could hear the rain on the windshield when using other headsets. When a semi drove alongside my car, the noise of the big truck distracted my callers from our conversation.

Aliph's Jawbone headset changed all that. My friends and family no longer even suspect I'm in the car when I use it. If they call me while I'm in a grocery store or department store, they hear neither the hubbub of the store nor the announcements over the building intercom. Then I went to my favorite wing restaurant, which keeps the music pretty loud. I stood directly under one of their speakers and asked my friend if she could hear it. She thought she heard some people speaking faintly in the background. She had no idea I was standing under a speaker with music blaring at me.

As for the fit of the headset, it is very secure on my ear. Like most others, it hooks over the ear, which makes it fit a bit oddly with sunglasses or eyeglasses, but it isn't uncomfortable. When I get a new headset/earpiece, one of the first things I do is to put it on and shake my head around a bit to test how securely it fits my ear. This one didn't budge. For me, this is a very important factor. If I can't move my head naturally as needed while driving, then the headset impedes my ability to drive and I won't have that.

Some of you probably want to know about how it charges. I use mine quite a bit for both personal and business, and it isn't rare for me to wear out the charge before the day is out. I've only managed to drain my Jawbone twice, and it charges so quickly that I was able to use it again within an hour or so. It comes with a cable that can charge through an electrical outlet or a USB port on a PC. It does not have a car charger, but since I have a power inverter for my car, I can simply use it to charge it while driving should the need arise, so this isn't a deal breaker for me.

All in all, I highly recommend the Aliph Jawbone Noise Shield Bluetooth Headset. When I finally break or lose this one, I will look at replacing it with another Aliph model before any other manufacturer.

its a good product. i am glad i bought it. It has noise shield which is
convenient. There is even a way to call from it without using the cell phone at all by recording the names of the people I call and then saying the name into the Jawbone. It has useful ear fitting pieces that come with it and make it fit better. I like the color and the style. I would buy it again.

I'm so thoroughly disappointed by the results of this headset. After much time and research online, I decided that of all Bluetooth options, the Jawbone looked the best. The design was intriguing to me - and the sound is pretty good but certainly not flawless - but the fit is the biggest drawback. After trying it out for a few days, I realized that NONE of the ear hooks fit properly over my ear. I also switched out the little buds, which also did not fit - to the point that it almost fell out many times. In addition, it is abnormally time consuming to fit the awkward loops and earbuds over your ear while driving. If it doesn't fit properly in your ear or OVER your ear, you won't get the optimum sound, right? That's what I found. I'm sending it back and ordering another one.

I'd seen the Jawbone commercials - you know, the guy with all the loud yard equipment in the background, and wondered if the noise reduction you REALLY got was as dramatic as the commercial would have you believe.

NOISE REDUCTION:
Well, not quite, but it DOES reduce background noise for the person on the other end of the connection, NOT you. I tried switching from noise reduction enabled to disabled while standing within earshot of a busy expressway). My calls could all hear the background noise when noise reduction was enabled (the default state), but disabling it caused the noise they heard to be so great they couldn't understand me. I can't say that noise reduction was 100%, but it was pretty darned good.

FIT:
I was a little uncomfortable with the fit at first - it seemed too loose to me. The unit comes with several ear loops and ear buds, and I tried them all before settling on the loop and bud that came installed out of the box. As I've grown accustomed to the unit, though, the 'looseness' no longer bothers me, and I find I can wear it the entire day without discomfort. In noisy environments I find I have to press the earbud deeper into my ear to drown out ambient noise. This hasn't been a huge inconvenience, because I don't spend that much time in high-noise environments, but I could see it being a major annoyance if I did.

APPEARANCE:
I've seen plenty of grey and black Jawbones (even one that was painted with shimmery pink nail polish), but have never seen another red one like mine. I get a lot of positive comments on both color and appearance.

I really like the appearance of the unit. It's distinctive; clean lines, no visible buttons. It just LOOKS easy to use.

BLUETOOTH:
I've used several Bluetooth headsets, with varying degrees of ease in pairing the unit to my phone. This one was one of the easiest and quickest setups I've done. My phone is a Blackjack II, using Windows Mobile 6.

PRICE:
I've wanted a Jawbone for some time now, but wasn't willing to purchase one until the price fell under $80. Of course, that was only because Jawbone II was recently released. I don't know that I'd invest in a full-priced Jawbone or Jawbone II, but it was definately worth what I paid for mine.

I highly recommend this product.

I'm not one to give a negative review lightly - I research the product well before I choose to buy it, but I misjudged this Jawbone headset big-time! After over a month of use, I have to say this is the worst bluetooth headset I've ever had the misfortune to own.

The fit is terrible - none of the ear inserts feel comfortable or stay in my ear more than a few minutes, causing me to continuously fiddle with it trying to get the thing back in my ear while on a call. This causes a great deal of noise, interrupts the flow of the call, and is incredibly frustrating at the very least, not to mention requiring me to use my hands while on a "hands-free" call - totally negating the purpose of using the headset in the first place.

The ear wire is awkward to put on, and no matter which size I've used the thing will inevitably fall off my ear the first time I make a movement - and I'm not talking about throwing my head about wildly here - I mean normal natural movement. That puts the damper on using this while driving - I don't need it flying off when i turn my head to see oncoming traffic.

Yes, the call does sound good, although I can't really say I've noticed the noise shield feature making any difference, but it definitely doesn't sound so much better than the previous units I've owned to warrant the high price tag. Maybe I was lured in by the spiffy red ultra-elegant look, maybe it was the glowing review by a friend, but either way this headset has been a total waste of my time and money. I only wish I was able to give it 0 stars instead of 1 star.

The Good: Everything you may have heard about the sound quality of this headset is probably true. After many people I calld complained about noise or not being able to hear me when I used my Motorola 700 I decided to bite the bullet and try a different headset. The Jawbone solved the problem for people I called beautifully. Not a single complaint, no strugling to be heard, no static/hissing, and I could actually wear my phone on the opposite side of my body with no loss of quality. (The Motorola couldn't be used in the right ear if the phone wasn't on the right side of me within two feet of the headset.)

The Bad: Don't believe statements claiming the Jawbone is good for use in loud environments. It may or may not work for you. Although the touted sound quality was there for the people I called, I often could not raise the volume of the earpiece loud enough to hear them. This may be due to the fact that I couldn't find a combination of the five differently shaped ear inserts and two ear clips that fit me well enough to block out ambient noise from my ear. For me, the Jawbone was half a solution.

The Ugly: Make no mistake about it, the Jawbone is fragile. It should be fine for people who can put it away in a purse or attache case (maybe a suit pocket?) when not in use, but forget about putting it in the pocket of your jeans while you work or play. The ear clip that fit my ear broke in less than two weeks of use, and the second ear clip was so tight in the Jawbone socket that it was bending as I tried to put it in. I returned the unit.

I'm still looking for a satisfactory Bluetooth headset.

This headset is great! Not only can I hear others clearly- they can hear me perfectly, even when the convertible top is down. I like this headset even better than the Jawbone2- which, as I understand it, is the newer version.

First off ,,to big,, second buttons to hard to push,,flat out did not like it,

After several weeks of frustration -- and really wanting this headset to work -- I gave up and returned it. I found many difficulties with using it and very poor transmission quality.
I hope it is improved and then I may try it aain.

Hi:
I tried the Jawbone after reading a number of reviews.
I can not stress how important the fit to your ear and head is for this to function properly.
I could not make this fit. When it came loose, which was often, those I called had great trouble hearing me. With the A/C on high in the car, the wind noise added to the problems unless I covered the item.
Its not for me, but may be what you are looking for if you can make it fit.
I sent it back and purchased the Motorola 710, which does the job.

I've tried at least six other bluetooths over the past several months in hopes of finding the right fit as well as a clear signal. I was about to give up on owning a bluetooth when I heard about the Jawbone. I've had it a little over a month and I'm totally satisfied, as well as relieved. The sound is clear as a bell, and the extra earpieces insured a great fit. I recommend the Jawbone to any and everyone who is thinking about giving up on owning a bluetooth. You absolutely can't go wrong!

All in all I am very happy with the unit. I've tried various bluetooth headsets in the past and the voice and sound quality has been too poor to really make them worthwhile. Now, the state of California has passed legislation requiring the use of handsfree devices, so we're all stuck using them. I'm happy that the Jawbone is out there to meet this need!

That being said, the earpieces are fragile. Mine snapped off without any negligence on my part. This required getting the broken piece out of the electronic unit (with a thumbtack and paper clip). However, I called Jawbone up and they were more than happy to send me a replacement earpiece - for free. No questions asked. This was pretty amazing service. On top of that, a four pack of the ear pieces only costs $9.99, so all in all it's not too bad if this happens again.

I definitely recommend this headset for its unique and far superior sound and voice quality, despite the ear piece problem.

Well I'm a Californian and I now have to use a headset with my phone when ever I am in my car so I thought it was time to upgrade my Bluetooth headset. I had a cheap Motorola and some other one with a cable from the earpiece to the mic that clipped to your shirt or hung from a lanyard. I am very impressed with the Jawbone so far!!!! I even was able to use it on my Vespa ET2 (scooter) while driving down the street and my husband was able to hear me. The technology in this little piece of wonderfulness is amazing. I love my Jawbone and I will recommend it to others!

I bought this item and it worked exactly as advertised. Although a new model is out -- I like the feeling of this one. The noise reduction also works fabuously in the car. If you need a great bluetooth device - I recommend you test this out.

After reading so much about this product I bought it. I thought I did my research but sadly I made a mistake.

Although the earpiece has been a negative for some time I could not realize how much so until I owned it. None of the included interchangeable earpieces feel comfortable. Apparently there are earpieces from other manufactures that are better but that adds to the cost of the whole.

Probably the most disappointing is the earpiece sound quality. It is very tinny lacking midrange and low end sound. I find it very annoying because you really lose a lot of frequencies that help you discern speech in crowds or loud surroundings.

Lastly the design is a bit bulky and I knew this going into the purchase. I was willing to forgive this point had the other shortcomings been absent. However, collectively the above issues make for a poor product in my opinion.

--after 2 weeks of use....

I have used this unit for 2 weeks and I could not be more disappointed. The sound quality is terrible. It is very tinny as if I am listening to an old transistor radio from 1970. I tried all the different ear pieces with no improvement. You just cannot get better sound using earpieces if the tiny speaker in the headset is awful.

Speaking of earpieces, none of them fit. I also purchased the Jabra Ear Gels. Again, nothing really fits. The Jawbone falls out all the time and the only thing that keeps me from completely losing the headset is the over ear hoop.

And sadly, I am out of the 30 day return policy to I am stuck with junk which will end up in the trash.

Please beware that if you have the opportunity to try before you buy... do it. These wireless or hands free products are really a crap shoot.

This is my first phone bluetooth. I have had this bluetooth for about one month and i am very pleased with it.

These are few pros I found:
- Clear sound on headset
- People I have talked have not made any complain about the sound, but a small hiss when I am driving and have the window opened. So do not open the window while driving
- Connects quickly to my cellphone. Sometimes I have had to press the headset button to reconnect, normally when I had taken away the cellphone from the headset.
- Battery lasts quite long, not sure if this is similar to other headsets
- Has a nice look
- Can be charged from your PC through a USB port or through a charger
- Comes with several ear buds and ear clips for left and right. Different sizes too.

Cons:
- Takes a bit time to put it on, sometimes I cannot get it placed correctly on my ear that quickly
- One time, It would not reconnect to the phone at all. I had to reset the headset. Has not happened again.

So far, never had any problem with Amazon. I bought it for 75 and within a week the price dropped to 65. After a call, Amazon reimbursed me 10 dollars. Great deal.

Fit to ear is unsatisfactory. Tried combinations of earpieces and clips, "settled for" "least unsatisfactory." Outgoing audio is hit & miss; most callers complain they can't hear me as well as when I switch to handset. Incoming audio not as loud as handset (possibly attributable to mediocre ear fit). I wish the periodic "I'm on" flash could be bypassed so I don't look like a beacon at night (taping it over seems like a cheesy move). Not recommended without extensive trial period.
