Returned after two days [Posted on 2008-09-01] This product did not work well at all. Others could not hear me and what they did hear was static.
Utter garbage [Posted on 2008-09-01] I work in a noisy environment and was looking for a bluetooth headset with noise canceling capabilities. I asked around and kept hearing that the Jawbone was the way to go. So I did a little research on it and I even watched the promotional video of the woman walking through the construction site with all the heavy equipment working around her. I'm not naive enough to think mine would actually work as well as the one in the promotional video, but I figured that if it worked only half as good as the one I was currently using, it would be a significant upgrade.
Unfortunately, I have to report that this headset fails miserably in exactly the environment that it's supposed to excel. Perhaps it would be fine for somebody in an office, looking to cancel out the sound of co-workers talking in the background, but anything louder than that makes this headset essentially worthless.
*Please note that I was careful to try every option available in order to get it to work. I made sure that it was fitted properly, seated securely against my jawbone, and I did make sure that the noise canceling feature was activated. After none of that worked, I tried the factory reset button and I even sent the first one back, thinking that I must have a defective one. The replacement was no better.
I like it [Posted on 2008-09-03] I've had this headset for 2 months. This is the best headset I've used and is a big upgrade from my H700. The sound quality is very good on both ends. The volume on my end is loud enough that low to medium background noise doesn't drown out conversations. My wife actually says at times I sound clearer when using this headset than when I am using the handset.
Cons:
The fit could be better. This headset can be uncomfortable at times. The charger is proprietary.
All things considered, It does the job well and I am glad I upgraded.
Good ... finally [Posted on 2008-09-04] The first two units I got were defective. I could receive but not transmit. The customer service was good. I spent a couple hours with technicians trying to work the problems but had no luck. The third unit works as advertised. It took a while but I do like the Jawbone. Reception and transmission are very clear and the noise cancellation works very well
Two Strikes, You're Out! [Posted on 2008-09-05] I received my Jawbone and anxiously opened it and charged it. When it was fully charged I tried to use it. I was able to hear the other caller clearly, but they could not hear me at all. I sent it back for another. The next one would shut down by itself after a second or two.
