Strengths: none
Weaknesses:LOUSY LOUSY audio, easily broken stem, odd and uncomfortable comfiguration.
Overall Evaluation: I have no idea how or why this headset gets such good ratings. I own the predecessor and I recently tried for a day this new model. IT SUCKS!!!-the worst tinniest incoming audio I've ever heard and it is REALLY REALL QUIET too, so forget conversing in any loud ambient situation. And unless you plan on wearing it as a necklace (which I have seen people do) count on breaking the stem often.

Strengths: Call quality is good
Weaknesses:Comfort
Overall Evaluation: I used this for less than 2 weeks and it would not stay in my ear. I have small ears and even with the small earbud and adjusting the earloop it was very uncomfortable. In fact, the headset would not stay on my ear and fell to the ground one time when I was walking.The plastic side of the headset started acting weird when I clicked it (the side that you see with all the grooves). It wasn't connected to the rest of the headset completely/the very back was loose. I got a replacement headset and I still couldn't get it to fit right, so I returned it before my return policy ended.Overall, I was expecting a lot more especially when you pay top dollar for the best advertised bluetooth currently available. I would defintely be cautious on where you buy it and make sure it has a good return policy.

Strengths: Small, Noise Assassin works well
Weaknesses:Expensive, Could be sturdier (quality
Overall Evaluation: I have had the Jawbone II for 2 months now and I can say that it works really well. People cannot tell I am using a bluetooth headset while I am talking to them. They say it's as clear as a landline.However, if you saw the videos on the Jawbone/Aliph website where the girl is walking down a construction site or while she is riding in a a race car off-road derby. I really don't think the Noise-Assassin works that well. The Noise Assassin kicks in and works while you are speaking, it picks up the vibration from your cheek/jaw. So if you're not talking the Noise Assissin is not working or not kicking in as much. I tested this with the windows down and the radio on but not too loud while I was on a call in the car. The other end said they could hear me ok, but they could also tell that I was driving.I also verified this by calling my homephone while I was driving with the windows down and radio on and I left a message on my voice mail to check out how the quality would be. It works good, but it's not the miracle bluetooth headset that elimates all background sound.With all that said, you pay for what you get and this is probably one of the best headsets money will by as of right now (August 2008).

Strengths: Smaller than the original Jawbone, Noise cancellation works great, superior sound quality, better comfort than the original Jawbone.
Weaknesses:Not really a weakness, but you have to try different combinations of the ear loop and the ear bud size to match your preference to find the right fit.
Overall Evaluation: I was hesitant to purchase this device based on some of the reviews I had seen. Well - let me tell you I am glad I bought this unit. It is very small and very professional looking. Once you figure out the correct combination of earpieces and the ear loop, and the device really fits you, it is comfortable and works very well. I have two phones - one for work (provided by work) and an iPhone 3G for personal use. Pairing the Jawbone2 with both of these units was a breeze. Once paired, using it was simple. The people I spoke to on the work phone (a blackberry) who previously complained about the call quality said the call quality on the headset was clearer - so this headset actually improved my calling experience on the blackberry. As for the iPhone - the call quality on that phone was already great, and the Jawbone2 was equal to the iPhone's call quality. The noise cancellation worked great on both phones and made it possible for me to participate in conference calls while on the road (which I previously could not do since the background cell phone noise would distract from the meeting). Overall the phone is very well made (once you get used to the idea of how small it is) and lightweight. I would buy this product again even with the higher price point compared to other headsets....in this case you really do get what you pay for. Oh - one final note - I saw one reviewer complain about the low volume levels - that is not an issue - there are two ways to control volume. One on the unit itself, and through the phone's volume control as well. I have to think the other reviewer's unit was not working correctly or they did not know how to adjust the headset's volume...

Strengths: callers heard me loud and clear. I heard them loud and clear with my windows down.
Weaknesses:hurts after a couple of hours.
Overall Evaluation: This jawbone II actually stayed on my head. I had to return the first version jawbone cause it wouldn't stay on. This one is also smaller and even more comfortable. I heard everything loud and clear and everyone heard me perfectly even with windows down and all that. The only problem I had with this jawbone II is that after like 4-5 hours it started to hurt my ear a bit. No problem switched it to the other ear and I was good. But it's like the very moment you take it off you get this annoying quick little pain that lets you know you had it there all day. All in all, I can't tell weather I like my plantronics discovery 925 better than the jawbone II or not. I have to test the 925 tomorrow and make a decision, and then return one of them.
