It also auto-adjusts inbound call volume and intelligibility to your environment. Whether you re at a noisy ball game or on the road, you ll always hear and be heard. Music, video and calls never sounded better. With its 10mm wideband speaker our biggest, most powerful speaker yet (25% larger than previous models) podcasts, Pandora tunes, YouTube videos, driving directions and more come vibrantly to life in full-spectrum, HD-quality sound. Jawbone ERA is also the most convenient way to enjoy all your mobile media and calls in one place. No more clunky headphones, no more tangled cords. You ll be totally hands-free and never miss a beat. Jawbone ERA is the first headset with a built-in accelerometer and patented MotionX technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Jawbone gets it right!, January 27, 2011
I have used more bluetooth headsets than I can count from a range of manufacturers. Jawbone typically proved the most frustrating: excellent technology, good controls, and brilliant packaging marred by heavy weight, large size, use of proprietary chargers, poor fit, and weak sound. Over time, as the already incredible noise-canceling technology improved, the size and weight decreased, and output volume increased, leading to the small, featherweight Icon. The Icon also saw the first use by Jawbone of the micro-USB standard for mobile device charging. Sadly, the Icon still suffered from an unstable fit and tinny sound.

Enter the Era, and at last, Jawbone has reached perfection (almost). Most on-line reviews will gush over Jawbone's ability to pack a larger, fuller-spectrum speaker into the same-size housing, and it's true: it is louder, and voices sound more natural, now that they have the "warmth" lacking from the Icon. What they don't tell you is that the eartips are much... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The real review, May 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Jawbone ERA Headset - Shadowbox - Retail Packaging (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I am a UPS driver and need the best bluetooth technology available. I have tried 5 other bluetooth models over the last 2 years, most recent being the Jawbone ICON, and my search has culminated to this new piece here, the ERA. The problem with the icon was its subpar volume when playing media, since I stream pandora from my cell phone for many hours a day. The new ERA is substantially louder and of much better quality. I cant put it on its loudest level because its too much, and I never thought I would have this much welcomed problem.

I know the phone touts all this tap tap shake shake stuff, which is neat, but I just use it the regular old fashioned way.

As for call quality, its outstanding. The phone is light and fits snug and comfortably with the jabra ear gel inserts I bought for the ICON but also fit perfect on the ERA. I do not like any of the custom earpieces it comes with.

The reason I wrote the review is because of the conditions I put this... Read more

Customer Video Review Length:: 2:07 Mins

More than a headset that "sounds good for a headset", this sounds good... period. It's easy to use, comes with a good set of well designed accessories, and can either be uses right out of the box or customized to satisfy your inner-geek.

The attached video shows the headset, the included accessories, and provides an audio sample of how the headset sounds to someone at the other end of the call.

More details:

- Five hours of talk time and days of standby on a charge
- Charges in under an hour using a standard micro-usb connector to either the supplied charger or a USB port
- A short charging cable is included. (Short is good for portability)
- Pairs easily, literally with a couple shakes
- Supports voice dialing with an iPhone
- No problem downloading firmware updates and new voices from the Jawbone MyTalk website

Additional thoughts:

The sound is so good I've started... Read more
