Radically Changed My Life!! [Posted on 2008-07-01]
I bought this headset for my wife in the hopes that she would use it. I hate phones and I especially hate cell phones because they're sort of the last straw when it comes to driving distractions. Anyhow, she hated it; said it hurt her ear. (Did she try the extra ear pieces and buds? No). So, I got this corded version of the same thing last week and she wanted to trade. Whatever floats your boat . . .
I was born with a physical disability and use a wheelchair. Before that, I was on crutches. So, talking on the phone is an all-consuming thing for me and I have always hated it. I had to stop everything I was doing and just do that. God forbid someone would be bored and just want to "chat". Over the years I came to hate the phone so much that just the sound of a phone ringing would cause panic attacks. The sound quality is absolutely phenomenal on either end and it could not be simpler to use. It is so comfortable that I almost wore it into the shower the other day. This amazing little device has quite literally changed the quality of my life. I now enjoy speaking to my friends and doing business wiht it. I highly recommend it for everyone, but especially for those with disabilities that make both hands necesary for getting around. If I was a millionaire I would buy as many as possible and just hand them out to those who would benefit most.

This product has very good audio quality and noise cancelling, although the incoming volume is not loud enough for me. It is lightweight but still manages to be painful, at least until the right combination of bud and loop is found.
The minimalist controls ruin it for me. This is not a reliable device, and it is difficult to tell whether it is on or off while trying to power it up. The instructions (speaking of minimalist) suggest pressing for 2 seconds, but this may or may not work and appears totally random. If calls are important to you, you want to know whether the thing is on or not. I guess you do know, because it wants to stay off, and you will be rewarded with a pairing beep when you finally trick it into turning on. A positive on/off switch would have been nice.
This is a very fragile product, with specialized charging and cable attachments. Don't forget them or lose them, or it will quickly become useless. Good luck finding a place to store and carry both jawbone and his specialized chargers and cables, without losing or destroying them.
Learning to interpret the red-white flashing modes of the LED is alien and there is no easy place to look them up. The one good thing is that any flashing light indicates that it is finally on, but may also mean the battery is about to die, quickly. Perhaps the life will increase with use.
It does not tell you how to change the earloops, but you can just pull them out. Fit issues are not well documented in the guide or on their website, which has only the most basic information on the controls and other characteristics.
It has great noise cancelling but at this price, I expected a much more positive communications device. This seems to have sacrificed functionality for the boutique design and I have to think there are better to be had for less money.

This is my 3rd wireless headset and it is the best of the 3. It is a little cumbersome to attach to the ear but is certainly comfortable. I have it synced to a Blackberry curve and it is cyrstal clear with no delay.

Looks great, works great. The only problem is getting it in place. It really should be easier.
