 Buy the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece Instead! November 15, 2008
Was extremely dissappointed in the Jawbone. In short it's very poorly designed and doesn't provide the performance as advertised. It doesn't fall a little short...it's not even close to the mark of bluetooth headsets that I used several years ago. I'm a average sized man with average ears, facial structure etc. and could never get the Jawbone Headset to rest comfortably in my ear or have the earhook not create an unpleasant, uncomfortable feeling. I was always sure to have the contact point touching my face to be sure the noise cancelling worked correctly but people always told me I sounded like I was on a speaker phone and at times had real difficulty hearing me. I use this in business everyday and it conveyed a very unprofessional "appearance". I tried everything I could to get better performance but nothing worked. I used this for several months giving it every opportuniy to perform. The fit to the ear is a serious problem for a lot of people and a major disadvantage to this headset not to mention the poor sound quality.
I replace it with the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece(better price and the latest "clear" technology), which comes in BLACK, SILVER, GOLD, and PURPLE. The fit to the ear is extremely comfortable and secure, the receiving sound excellent and to the person I'm talking to they say it sounds like I'm on a land line. Never anymore complaints from peole I'm speaking to. From another reviewer's recommendation, I also purchased a windscreen that you can use to cover the end of the headset that's exposed to block any interference with wind noise. So if you know you're going to be outside at a ball game, riding a bicycle, etc., you can slip this on and have a headset that blocks virtually any wind noise making this the perfect unit. I bought two of the windscreens and keep one in my car and the other in my latop computer case so they are ready to use when needed. You can order directly from Etymotic Research, item # ER89-30 only $1.75 per set. www.Etymotic.com The Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece also comes with a charging case that not only safely stores your headset, but serves to recharge it if you were to run the headset battery down...very cool bonus feature for long trips...and long conversations when you can't charge your headset with the hard wire! Check out the reviews on the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece and buy instead...you'll be glad you did. By the way, I've had 6 to 7 or more headsets and the Plantronis is the best that I've had so far.
Best out there, but no replacement earloops available November 6, 2008

No complaints about the earpiece, I've bought several for my company. But if you break the earloop (and you will ventually), you'll have an unusable unit because the Jawbone folks have decided to discontinue the replacement item. Be warned: the earloop for the new Jawbone II WILL NOT WORK with this original unit.
 Great quality voice November 1, 2008
I've owned Motorola, Plantronics and several other bluetooth headsets and got really tired of having three fourths of people tell me to call them back when I'm not using the bluetooth headset because they couldn't hear almost anything.
The Jawbone's worked perfectly from the start.
I've had a couple of hassles with the ear-piece, but this is finally a bluetooth headset that I can use. I'm happy as a lark
 Awesome technology in a crappy package. October 22, 2008
First let me state the things that would be 5 star worthy. The technology in the noise shield is nothing short of mind blowing. On a city street with buses and loud traffic or sitting in my hotel room with no noise, people I talk to can't seem to tell the difference. I also having tried many Bluetooth headsets can say I can also regardless of noise hear better on this unit than others.
Now, the less than a star what were they thinking part. It doesn't fit well and I don't care how much you fiddle with it. The way the earbud attaches sucks. Half the time while trying to get the fit right I turn it the wrong way and it falls off in my ear. The buttons make a crunch noise when you push them like the unit is breaking. When unplugging the unit from the charger it always feels like it will break even when you do it exactly like the customer service jerk tells you to (mine actually did break recently unplugging it).
And still... the technology works so well it is worth overlooking these problems and buying.
Aliph Jawbone October 18, 2008
Bought 2, sound and quality of device excellent, The wire for the device that hold on ears is very poor and breaks very easily. Had to order replacement parts the first week. Would be outstanding device if the wire hold would be corrected.
