Strengths: - Looks Great
- Can Hear Caller Clearly
- Caller Can Hear You Perfectly
- Great Noise Cancelling Technology
- Well Built
Weaknesses: - No Call Waiting Function
- Unique Charging Connection
Summary: The Jawbone bluetooth headset is for those who want the best headset you can buy. You can't get any more stylish and the noise cancelling technology works like a charm. It can't block wind or sharp sounds close to the headset, but you can have loud music on in your car and your caller won't hear a thing besides your voice. If you are like me and depend on your voice dialing, then this headset will make you very happy. It understands everything you say with more precision that even the phone itself it seems. The only negatives I can find are that it actually has no ability change calls with call waiting, so you have to use the phone to switch between callers. This can be annoying while driving, since it then does not stick with the whole hands free concept. The other thing is that it uses a unique charging connection. It does not use a standard connection, like a mini or micro USB. It of course comes with a charger, so it causes no issues, but you can't use any existing chargers. It does come with dual charging capabilities though. It comes with the USB charging cord and an AC adapter to plug the USB cord into for charging on the go. The adapter of course then can even be used by any other USB charging cord you may have. It all comes down to whether or not you have the money to spend. If you do, then this is the headset for you.

Strengths: Unparalleled clarity of sound, both receiving and outgoing.
Weaknesses: Ear wire is not comfortable nor especially secure - they do send other ear wires, but they all seem to be exactly the same. Smallest ear bud is too big for small ears and rubs painfully.
Summary: Someday, someone will invent a Bluetooth ear piece that both fits comfortably and provides superior sound quality. The Jawbone is amazing as far as sound quality, with great background noise elimination and clear speech reception and transmission. But the ear wire leaves something to be desired, and the hard ear bud rubs my ear raw if I leave it on for too long. Still, overall, this is the best Bluetooth device I've owned, and believe me, I've owned just about all of them!

Strengths: Clearest I've had. Easy to use simple touch-located buttons to answer/end calls, change volume. Comfortable and light weight...
Weaknesses: a little hard to place in ear..ordered the Jabra ear buds which are softer. Interfers a little with glasses.
Summary: Use with TMobile Dash w/Windows Mobile. Great technology -syncs with all the WM features: Great voice announcement feature: calls, appointments, emails. Simple charging:like the usb charge option, much handier than having to plug in and has good battery life. Works well in all situations except strong wind, but that is true for any open microphone. Overall the best I've had in cluding the $150 Jabra.

Strengths: Sound Quality, Durability, Looks good, Lightweight, Actual working range between headset and phone, noise reduction.
Weaknesses: Size (a little bit big and bulkier than most), Earhooks are fairly easy to snap off at insertion point.
Summary: 2008-02-16 01:39:48 I believe that the designer of this product thought everything out very well. It took a little bit of time for me to find the appropriate earhook and earbud setup to suit my needs and in the process of bending an earhook around I did snap one off at the point where you would insert it into the headset, so be carefull not to bend it much at that point. I found that the ear-gels made by Jabra was the best earbud for me and works great with this Jawbone headset too. I was extremely pleased when I got on the phone and placed my first call with it, the other party could not believe that I was actually driving along in my noisy truck which with any headset previous to this one they complained of heavy noise sounding like a wind storm (even with my windows shut). Well with the Jawbone they barely heard any noise with the windows open and no noise with them up. I can actually walk away from my phone and still maintain a clear connection. It was money well spent, no doubt! ***

Strengths: Call quality, volume. In ear buds.
Weaknesses: Ear buds a little too hard. Non-replaceable battery.
Summary: This is the earpiece I\'ve been looking for. Can hear callers in my noisy car and outside without having to crank the volume to harmful levels. Earpiece stays put altho it takes a bit to learn how to get in on. And the vendor Quack Quack was a breeze to deal with and provided the high quality product and low price I was looking for.

Strengths: Noise cancellation qualities. And, it does look good compared to most other such devices. Other functionality is standard.
Weaknesses: Ear piece has broken off. The ear canal piece easily comes off in my pocket when not in use. Takes overly long, like all other bluetooth devices, to sync with the phone and be truly usable.
Summary: From what I can tell, however, this is one of the premium devices in the marketplace. It is, perhaps, that the phones don't implement the bluetooth standard right, but it almost seems as though bluetooth isn't ready for prime time. I am disappointed, but the alternative of holding my phone while I am driving is even less enticing. Yes, I'd buy it again, but...

Strengths: clear connection
light weight
Weaknesses: the fit
Summary: The jawbone does what it says and I haven't gotten the complaints from people I talk to like I did using my old ear piece. It does take some time to get it on and it a good position, but it gets the job done. I really only use it when I'm in the car, so the fit is not too annoying.

Strengths: Comfort, Noise cancellation, battery life
Weaknesses: Battery charger, volume key
Summary: The Jawbone is my 3rd Bluetooth headset and best I've used to date. Noise cancellation works great in cars and airports without having to mute. Ear buds have 5 shapes to fit most ears with comfort, though they could be a little softer. Ear hangers are comfortable and the unit balances for long wear without discomfort. Volume key takes getting used to.
2 Gripes, 1/ Throw the rubber connector cover (never shown in the sales images) off a bridge. You'll know where you lost it. Seat belts, coat collars and other items can strip it off without notice. 2/ The charger is unique and another cable you have to carry when traveling. Aliph should have used a standard mini-USB cable as I have half a dozen for my camera, phone, GPS, et al. Lose or forget the charger on an overseas trip and you aren't talking more than 6 hours as some countries outlaw cellular use while driving. Hope the next generation is standardized.

Strengths: Great sound quality. Stylish design. Light weight.
Weaknesses: Battery charger feels like it will break when it is disconnected form the headset
Summary: This is a great headset so far. The background noise is almost gone. I talk to my friends on the phone while I am mowing my grass! I had my daughter call my on my home phone will standing in a room next to her radio and I could still hear her clearly. The bos is even nicer than the box that came with my Iphone. I have read many review about how bad the ear clips are but I have not had any propblems with mine so far. I wera my headset in the morning when I run and I have not had any problems with the headsets fit. The headset charger quickly and the USB adapter is great because my Iphone car adapter has a USB plug in it so my house charger is also my car charger. I like this feature alot. This headset repalces my great Plantronics 645 headset. The Plantronics sounds good the Jawbone is the best headset I have ever owned.

 Jawbone Technical Support Strengths: When it works it works well.
Weaknesses: The charger attachment is easily damaged.
Summary: I am very dissatisfied with Jawbone's customer support. I called and submitted my problem. The agent wasn't very friendly and I haven't heard back from them and it's a week later.

Strengths: 1. Clarity
2. Blocking background noise
Weaknesses: 1. Earpiece fitting
Summary: I like the clarity and noise blocking. People have no problem hearing me and often don't realize I am on an earpiece and/or out of the office. The earpiece fitting is not the best. The earloops don't work well for me. The earpiece often falls away from the ear canal and has to be repositioned.

Original Jawbone
Strengths: Good sound quality.
Weaknesses: Ear Loop
Summary: The Original Jawbone Ear Look no longer available from manufacture. Discontinued. Custom support will only help if unit is less than a year old. Customer support gives you the runaround. Very poor customer service.
