Abstract: We have already mentioned that the major complaint against the original Jawbone headset was due to the size. With the promise of the new Jawbone being 50% smaller, that was all it took to plunk down another $129, even though the original was still work...
Fans of the earlier Jawbone - and there were deservedly many for what was the coolest-looking, most reliable and easiest-to-use Bluetooth headset around - will enjoy the smaller, subtler new model with significant improvements to call quality. The but...
This is the best headset I have ever tested. If there is a better headset on the market, I havent heard about it. It is expensive, and it is exclusively at AT&T stores (for now) but it is worth the money and the trip to the store. The design is comf...
Abstract: The New Jawbone by Aliph has large shoes to fill. Its big brother, the original Jawbone bluetooth headset, set the standard for bluetooth headset quality. Companies today advertise a lot of new "features" and "enhancements" to their products, but usua...

Abstract: The 2008 version of Jawbone preserves the unique shape and general styling of its predecessor, using a gently curved black, mostly glossy plastic body that in no way looks geeky or sci-fi. Whereas the prior 2.2"-long Jawbone was quite wide by the stan...
The new Jawbone beats its predecessor from top to bottom in comfort and sound. While the original earpiece set the standard for Bluetooth sound quality, wearing it for an hour felt like exercise to my ear. The gen 2 is much lighter, sits in my ear com...
Abstract: The new Jawbone, made by a closely held San Francisco company called Aliph, is 50% smaller than the original Jawbone, which I reviewed in 2006. It continues to boast the original Jawbone’s signature feature: a remarkable ability to suppress background noise and isolate the wearer’s voice...
Great sound. Serious upgrade in wearability, even with fewer options. Doesnt weight you down like the older model. Easiest syncing headset ever; starts up in pairing mode the first time you turn it on.
Still relies on a proprietary power connector that isnt the same as the first model, either. Design cues are a little bit Gucci for some wearers (especially Wired geeks). A quick spin through the manual a must to understand how to operate invisible button...
Abstract: Aliph has been around since 1999, but the company rocketed to stardom in 2006 with the introduction of the , arguably the first noise-canceling model that actually worked. Its noise-canceling circuitry, plus the Jawbones style and sound quality, nette...
