Setting new standards for mobile voice clarity and personal style, the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset by Aliph represents a complete departure from the gadgetry of the mobile headset industry. Originally developed for military use in extreme environments, Jawbone features NoiseAssassin--a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguish your voice from background noise.



The new Jawbone in black.
Widely recognized as the best Bluetooth headset on the market, the new Jawbone is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone, offer over 4 hours of talk time, and comes with three earbuds and four earloops for a comfortable and personalized fit.

Military-Grade NoiseAssassin Technology
Developed over years of research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Jawbone's NoiseAssassin eliminates real world noise better than competing headset because it's the only hands free device that accurately separates human speech from ambient noise. Unmatched in its ability to remove noise from loud environments like busy streets, cars, crowded cafes, and airports, NoiseAssassin is comprised of two features unique to Jawbone: a patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) and proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a VAS that feels the speech vibrations from your jaw. This enables Jawbone to capture the distinct frequencies of your voice. Proprietary DSP algorithms work in concert with two powerful microphones and the VAS to accurately model surrounding noise and aggressively eliminate it from the conversation.

Conventional "noise suppression" headsets do not have a Voice Activity Sensor and can only estimate when speech is occurring. This causes performance issues like voice distortion, especially in the presence background noise.

Not Just a Headset, It's Earwear
Made with premium materials like medical-grade plastic and fine leather, the new Jawbone with NoiseAssassin combines science and beauty in the most unassuming, yet richly detailed product. Every effort has been made to contain best in class noise suppression technology in a miniature form that is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone.

The new Jawbone accomplishes a clean and sophisticated look thanks to invisible buttons. Touch-surface technology allows the user to operate switches by lightly pressing the outer shield. Curved and rectilinear to follow the face, the outer shield is lightly textured and inspired by three-dimensional noise abatement surfaces. The infer surface, the one touching your face and creating contact with the Voice Activity Sensor, is gently curved to be ergonomic and comfortable on your skin.

4.0 out of 5 stars The only game in town for talking at freeway speeds, January 19, 2009

This review is from: Aliph Jawbone II Bluetooth Headset (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Anyone looking at the Jawbone should ask themselves this question: Do I want the people I'm talking to to be able to hear me clearly no matter where I am and what I am doing? If the answer is "yes" then buy this and don't look back. If you don't care about those sorts of things, then there are probably easier-to-use units out there.

This is my second Jawbone; I used the original Jawbone for just over a year when it broke (turns out the warranty is only a year long!). I was actually kind of glad to get a new one because I wanted to check out the Jawbone 2. Well, the Jawbone 2 is smaller and, I think, easier to fit. It also makes more intuitive noises--the tones make it much clearer if you're turning it on or off. But the Jawbone 1 had certain things going for it that I miss. Most importantly, I like using voice dialing. With the Jawbone 1, you could just press the primary button to access voice dialing. With this one, you have to press the Noise Assassin button, which I've... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Jawbone Bluetooth, December 20, 2008
By

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Aliph Jawbone II Bluetooth Headset (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I can only compare it to what I had before, it's my second bluetooth device but hands-down beats the pants off what I had - and I thought that was okay. One issue was the fitup in the ear. Fortunately I read other's reviews and got the Jabra softgel earpieces otherwise the Jawbone would almost be unusable for me. I've found that using the Jabra ear insert I don't even need the earloop on the Jawbone and it's as steady as a rock in terms of fit and function.

4.0 out of 5 stars A note about the bulk pakage, February 22, 2009
This review is from: Aliph Jawbone II Bluetooth Headset (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
The Jawbone 2 is great, this is my second (I lost my first!) but this is just a note about the bulk packaging compared to retail. Despite assurances by Amazon call staff that the bulk package contains exactly the same merchandise as the retail version, it does not. The bulk package does not contain additional ear loops which are included in the retail packaging version. An additional ear loop did come in handy when I broke the original about a month after I started using the Jawbone 2. But the cost savings in this version will allow me to buy many many extra ear loops from the company if needed.
