Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Headset.... if you get the right eargels Comment: This headset is fantastic, but only if it stays on your head, and it stays in contact with your cheek. That is a real problem if you rely on the crappy earhook and rubber earpiece that Aliph provides. It is probably the reason for most of the poor reviews. For those who can make this headset actually stay on, they love it. To address the fit issues that the standard earpiece accessories fail to do, I first tried jabra minigels. I was able to use the jawbone without the earhook, and I raked leaves with it on, no problem. So it seemed pretty good, but I found that the minigel irritated my ear canal after a day, and it did not always feel real stable. I then ordered some eargels for the Plantronics Discovery 925 headset. THEY ARE PERFECT! Totally comfortable, channel the sound into my ear correctly, fit the jawbone 2 like a glove, and I can't shake the headset off no matter how hard I try. It keeps the jawbone firmly connected to my cheek no matter what I am doing. I can't believe Aliph did not come up with this kind of solution. This is what the jawbone2 should have included. If you want the best Bluetooth headset solution out there, get the JB2, get the Plantronics gels, and throw out the earpiece junk from Aliph - you will never need it again. Customer Rating: Summary: Horrible ear piece Comment: The ear piece never stayed against my face so the person on the other end could never hear me correctly. Customer Rating: Summary: great theory, poor reality Comment: I don't doubt that the Jawbone is great if you can get it to work. But for a busy person, it is unacceptably flawed. I have read people taking 4 hours to get theirs to work right. For an attorney making $200/hour, that's like paying $800 for a bluetooth headset. I returned this and went with the Plantronics Voyager 510--super cheap and works great! Gonna buy a second since they're so cheap. Customer Rating: Summary: Major disappointment Comment: I found this headset to be a major disappointment. Unlike other headsets I've owned, it won't stay paired to my Treo. The sound is inconsistent, and people have had significant problems hearing me on the streets of NYC. It's not the worst headset I've owned, but I'm already searching for a better solution. Customer Rating: Summary: Love this headset!!! Comment: This is the best headset I have ever used. It fits perfectly, it is easy to use and the sound is incredible. I would recommend it to everyone, especially to those that have had old type units that don't provide good sound or fit. In the past I have had trouble finding earsets that stay on, and this one fits like a glove. Bravo... More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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.
