User Reviews for ALIPH Jawbone

Reviewed by: wufwuf

Duration of ownership: 8 Months

Strengths: sound quality

Weaknesses: it has fallen apart on the earplug and today the head that plugs into the charger broke. When I bought it the sales person said she had one but be careful because this part falls apart.

Overall Evaluation: poor if it going to fall apart. I have six other headsets and this is the only one that has fallen apart

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Low or no background noise for the party on the other end of your call. Good sound quality in earphone.

Weaknesses: Ear clip is not secure feeling. Feels like it could fall out anytime.

Overall Evaluation: I have tried all of the included ear clip sizes and cannot find a good match (and no, I don't have cauliflower ears, thank you very much :)) Other than that, it is a great device.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Unparalleled clarity of sound, both receiving and outgoing.

Weaknesses: Ear wire is not comfortable nor especially secure - they do send other ear wires, but they all seem to be exactly the same. Smallest ear bud is too big for small ears and rubs painfully.

Overall Evaluation: Someday, someone will invent a Bluetooth ear piece that both fits comfortably and provides superior sound quality. The Jawbone is amazing as far as sound quality, with great background noise elimination and clear speech reception and transmission. But the ear wire leaves something to be desired, and the hard ear bud rubs my ear raw if I leave it on for too long. Still, overall, this is the best Bluetooth device I've owned, and believe me, I've owned just about all of them!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Clearest I've had. Easy to use simple touch-located buttons to answer/end calls, change volume. Comfortable and light weight...

Weaknesses: a little hard to place in ear..ordered the Jabra ear buds which are softer. Interfers a little with glasses.

Overall Evaluation: Use with TMobile Dash w/Windows Mobile. Great technology -syncs with all the WM features: Great voice announcement feature: calls, appointments, emails. Simple charging:like the usb charge option, much handier than having to plug in and has good battery life. Works well in all situations except strong wind, but that is true for any open microphone. Overall the best I've had in cluding the $150 Jabra.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: cancels most of the noise, looks pretty cool too

Weaknesses: big, not the most comfortable bluetooth headset

Overall Evaluation: first of all, I should say this could be the best noise cancelling headset in the marketthere are only 2 buttons (hidden) on this headphone, one for turning on the noise cancelling feature and the other for on/off/activatefor those who complains about the mic volume, please make sure the boom is touch your jaw. the thing is, to do this, you need to switch on the right hanger, which will feel quite odd when worn for a long time. the motorola h-700 is much better on this, also smaller. battery life is so-so.the other complain is about the wind noise, well, it's not doing it, when wind blows directly to the mic, it can't do anything, period.overall, great!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: The voice quality (both incoming and outgoing) is very good.

Weaknesses: When wearing the headset, it is hard to turn off. The Jawbone must be removed from the ear or press extremely hard against the ear/jaw.

Overall Evaluation: I like the headset. Still trying to get a comfortable fit in the ear. Must be turned off and/or on with the Jawborn off the ear. The one I received must be pressed very hard for the three seconds to turn on/off. Otherwise, I love it.
