The Jawbone Bluetooth headset is
from the Aliph product line. The Jawbone Bluetooth headset
has raised the standards for bluetooth headsets. The Jawbone
Bluetooth headset is among the most advanced bluetooth
headsets on the
market.
The design of the Jawbone
Bluetooth headset is credited to Yves Behar. The Jawbone
Bluetooth is sleek and sophisticated. Available in black,
silver, or red, the Jawbone Bluetooth offers the look of
class. The Jawbone Bluetooth can be purchased from the
Jawbone website or from Cingular. The cost of the Jawbone
Bluetooth headset is $119.00. This includes the wall charger,
the USB cable, four earbuds and four earloops. The price is
worth every penny.
One of the best features the
Jawbone Bluetooth headset has to offer is the noise shield.
The noise shield on the Jawbone Bluetooth headset actually reduces
background noise to almost zero. I did find the voice quality
was a little distorted. However, the conversation was very
clear. All that was coming through was the transmission from
the Jawbone Bluetooth headset.
The U.S. Department of Defense
has an independent research branch. This branch is called
DARPA, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The
Jawbone Bluetooth headset noise shield has been approved by
DARPA. The Jawbone Bluetooth has added features like three
microphones and a voice-activity sensor. When the military
likes something, such as this Jawbone Bluetooth headset, that is
saying something.
There are many stores and on-line
web stores that are now carrying the Jawbone Bluetooth. Best
Buy, Apple, and the CarPhone Warehouse are just a few places where
someone can pick up the Jawbone Bluetooth headset. The prices
seem to vary slightly, but not much. The technology of the
Jawbone Bluetooth is definitely a “you get what you pay for”
scenario.
The Jawbone Bluetooth headset
measures 1.8 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches. The sleek design is almost a
fashion statement. The Jawbone Bluetooth headset has an LED
indicator that glows when the headset is in operation. The
buttons on the Jawbone headset are hidden in the design. The
black section on top of the perforated shield is actually the noise
shield button. The top one third of the perforated plate is
the talk button.
In case you are wondering where
the Jawbone Bluetooth headset got it's name, I will tell you.
There is a button located on the inner side of the Jawbone
Bluetooth that rests against the user's lower cheek or
jawbone. This is the voice sensor. This sensor picks up
the vibrations of the jaw. This allows the Jawbone Bluetooth
headset to amplify the voice during a call.
The only downside to the Jawbone
Bluetooth headset is the volume control. Instead of a dial
volume control, the Jawbone Bluetooth headset uses the noise shield
button to cycle through a series of volume settings. The only
drawback is the user must cycle through them all to get to the one
he wants. There are five volume levels on the Jawbone
Bluetooth.
The Jawbone Bluetooth headset is
definitely at the top of the line in bluetooth technology.
This is a headset that does exactly what you would want a headset
to do.
