DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Jawbone and Jawbone-2 bluetooth headsets

About a year and a half ago I purchased a Jawbone headset. The fit for my ear was probably the worst I have ever had. I purchased a custom molded earpiece from AverySound. From that point on, I had absolutely no issues with the Jawbone. Its NoiseShield™ Technology (noise cancelling) actually worked in all kinds of environments and the call sound quality on my end was simply great. I destroyed the headset a few weeks ago by washing it in my pants pocket (something I NEVER do) and was of course not happy about it sinse the Jawbone isn't exactly cheap.

While online looking for a new Jawbone at their website, low and behold, they just released a new model of Jawbone. 1/2 the size and weight of the original. They have improved upon their NoiseShield™ Technology with NoiseAssassin™ Technology. I purchased one and recieved it just today. It like the original sucks for fit. Not quite as bad, but bad enough that I emailed AverySound to see if they would make a custome mold for the new model. From the limited use I have had with it besides the fit issue, it seems to be another homerun.

So finally, my questions are:

Has anyone on the board purchased either the original or new jawbone and what were/are your impressions of the device?

Lastly, wonder why in the world, a company that has produced arguably the best bluetooth headsets to date not be concerned with fit.

The original bluetooth was CNET's highest rated headset ever.



Original next to new model

I have the original, and like you, found the earpiece to be uncomfortable in extended use. The set came with like 5 different earpiece covers, and I found one that worked well for a good period of time, but a full day was uncomfortable.

As far as performance, it was as good as advertised. Quality was excellent.

Why would anybody need to leave that thing in all day?

If you are still using it, google AverySound, pricey but well worth it!






Works like a champ, comfortable and no earloop required!

I don't know about all day, but I do wear one anytime I am driving a vehicle, and while I don't wear it constantly, I do put it on for every phone call I get, basically when my phone rings, I answer my headset instead of the actual phone.
