The Jawbone 2 is the next step in the integration of best-in-class noise elimination technology with personal design that is both humanistic and minimal. It has powerful noise suppression algorithms for use in the most extreme acoustic noise environments including battlefields and helicopters. The algorithms use Jawbone's two microphones and the VAS (Voice Activity Sensor) to accurately model the noise environment. Jawbone detects when and how a person is speaking, models the noise, and aggressively eliminates it. Conventional "noise eliminating" headsets do not have the VAS and can only estimate when speech is occurring with software-based Voice Activation Detection (VAD) systems. For these systems to work, the speech must be significantly louder or spectrally different from the noise. These systems fail in loud environments or in the presence of other people's speech. Furthermore, because they can't accurately identify the speech signals, they distort the speech in the process of attempting to eliminate the noise. The result of this distortion is a significant degradation in intelligibility and quality in order to achieve a perceptual reduction in noise.

Summary: AWFUL COMPANY and PRODUCT!
Comment: DON'T FALL FOR THIS POORLY MADE GIMMICK by ALIPH, WITH ITS UNCONCERNED CUSTOMER SERVICE. The Jawbone is, by far, the worst headset I have ever come across! Aliph seems more about marketing than substance. I wish I could reassign the rating and give one-eighth star. This company is bad news!
I barely got to use the Jawbone three times before the earplug into which the earhook slides came loose, exposing the wires. I have cases for all my headsets to protect them and gingerly care for them.
The Jawbone came apart just before the warranty ran out, therefore my letter reached Aliph after the warranty expiration date so Aliph has refused to replace the headset - THAT WAS USED NO MORE THAN 3 TIMES BEFORE COMING APART!
Although the Jawbones are highly marketed, there are innumerable customer complaints over the Internet about how poorly built these headsets are. Aliph seems to turn a deaf ear and seems to feel it is their due to gimmick poorly designed, ill-built, over-priced dross.
The way Aliph markets the Jawbone and at the price, no one should have to tweak one thing to make the headset work or fit.
I wish I had known the Jawbone was all utter hype before getting fleeced by Aliph for $149.50! This earplug is extremely difficult to get on the ear. I had to fight with my Verizon UT6700 to get it working and most of all the sound was little better than the UT6700, which is disastrous!
I have the Plantronics Voyager, as well as several other headsets by BlueAnt, Jabra, and Motorola. I bought the Plantronics 925 and received a BlueAnt V1 after the Jawbone dispatched itself. The Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset with Multipoint Technology, Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset (Black), the Jabra are much better quality head sets and work distinctly better. I haven't tried the BlueAnt V1 Voice-Controlled Bluetooth Headset (Silver) yet. None of the headsets are any where near the "SHABBY JAWBONE" Category! Aliph owns that one!
Don't fall for the name or the back and don't get RIPPED OFF!

Comment: Excellent performance, but only after adjusting the fit to allow the white nub to rest firmly on your face. This was harder than it seems.

Summary: Jawbone II
Comment: The sound quality of the Jawbone II is excellent, both sending and receiving. However, the device is difficult to use. There are no external buttons. One has to press one of two areas on the flexible skin in the approximate location identified in the instructions. The two locations are close enough that it frequently responds to the wrong button. When that happens, the phone freezes up and has to be rebooted (turned off and back on) in order to begin the process again.

Summary: The "glass" earplug
Comment: I thought that Jawbone would be a great addition for my 3G iPhone. The real truth left much to be desired.......especially in the storage area.
First one broke off at the location where the ear bud meets the main body. I had been storing it in a "Motorola" holster since one was not available. Clerk at AT&T store said I should not place it so. Broken in two days. Sooooo....put the set just in a sporran that I wear. Second day broken at ear piece connection.
It has a great tone; people also tell me they hear me better and with lesss noise so it DOES have some positive points. However I could not recommend buying a Jawbone. Price is too high and unit far too "brittle". I am going to try and use my H700 but noted it will pair with the 3G but does not boot up for reception etc.
Hope this helps someone who is "on the fence" Too expensive for a unit that seems made of glass.
