    Duration of ownership:1 Years

    Strengths: Basic bluetooth sounds good

    Weaknesses: Falls apart in to pieces with time. Noise cancelation sounds terrible and does not work in most sityations

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased this unit 1 year ago and have plenty of experience with it. Initially when I opened the box it was very impressive. 4 ear loops 4 snap on ear pieces looked like it was made out of metal. Claimed outstanding noise reduction and great battery life + a fancy looking charger. Once I began using it I found that after 2 days the ear loop spring gets loose and the ear piece starts swinging wildly on your ear. In another week the snap-on ear piece fell off and got lost, ok so I have 3 more, now I know why, but they are all different size. After a year the ear loop broke, ok I have 3 more, but they are all different size and different ear. The charger pulled the back off the unit after about 6 month and I was just being real careful with it since then making sure the guts don?t fall out. But wait, at least I have great noise reduction technology, which basically sounds like a metallic squeaky voice ? ditto that. Only good news is that it sounds pretty good as a basic headset thought a little quiet.. Final opinion a big waste of $120 + tax.

    Strengths: Good audio - even in wind.

    Weaknesses: Has problems with Verizon Palm 700wx staying connected with Bluetooth.

    Overall Evaluation: I have checked and I have the latest patch for the Palm 700WX but I still have problems staying connected. I hear the 3 tones indicating that the connection has dropped. Sometimes a call would come in and the connection to the Bluetooth headset is noisy. If I take off the Jawbone to talk direct on the phone - the audio problem goes away. When I talked to tech support, they said that there were other patches coming out but I have not seen anything higher.The Bluetooth signal stregth between the headset and the cell phone seems to vary. At times I cannot get more than about 5 - 10 feet away when the sound gets bad.I will be seeking a replacement unit to see if that fixes the problem.

    Strengths: Light weight, excellent sound quality.

    Weaknesses: NOT YET

    Overall Evaluation: Great product, tried different one, they were less efficient, every time called somebody, they had problem to hear me well, always surrounding noise was a problem, I consider it a very good product, obviously I did not try all of them and I can?t say ?THE? best, but this it very good, some time I don?t fell at all unless somebody calls me, paring is very easy just follow the instruction, seller (Only Original) was very professional and I recommend, so, what else should I say, just go for it.

    Strengths: Very good reception, it does what is says it does. Remember, the person you call gets the clear reception.

    Weaknesses: None.

    Overall Evaluation: I received this item brand new. Out of the box, it would not work. Called Aliph and they sent me a new charger cord, free of charge. That was the problem. It now works perfectly, I can drive around in my convertible with the top down and make phone calls with perfect clarity.

    Strengths: easy to operate

    Weaknesses: background sound block does not work.

    Overall Evaluation: does not work as well as the advertisement shows. The background noise reducing is not near what the video shows. It also is very difficult to keep secure to the cheek.

    Strengths: Great incoming and outgoing sound

    Weaknesses: Terrible Fit. Earpiece lasted a week. Too many plastic pieces are recipe for disaster.

    Overall Evaluation: Great Sound while it lasted. The earpiece was a chore to get on each time. Then after a week the earpiece kept coming apart...set completely broke when I tried to replace the hook.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: sound quality is good. sound reduction is great.

    Weaknesses: Feels loose on ear. Earbuds come off easily

    Overall Evaluation: I was really looking forward to getting this product, but was disappointed in the fit to my ear. Even with the different size earbuds and earloops it still feels loose. I am also disappointed with the fact that the earbuds can come off so easily. I am planning on replacing it with the Jabra Gel earbuds. other reviewers say they work well.

    Strengths: Light, attractive, easy to charge, volume control, strength of bt connection.

    Weaknesses: Custom fit

    Overall Evaluation: Shocking to me that such a well designed and technically advanced headset would have this enormous deficiency. It does not fit well. I read dozens of reviews before buying it, but didn't really believe it when I read others making the same claim. Although it does come with multiple ear loops and ear drum pieces, none of these really fit well. I thought the problem was my own, but after speaking to 7 or 8 other jawbone owners, they ALL said the same thing. Many simply put the jawbone to rest in a desk drawer in favor of another better-fitting, but lower-performing headset. The ones still using the headset bought an eargel from another manufactured and jammed it on to a mediocre fit. I did the latter. So, it is better, but not perfect.Seems that the fit is the attention to detail Aliph forgot about. Let's hope they come out with something soon so that their competitors don't have to fix a Aliph's product and make Aliph seem incapable of actually implementing a whole product solution.

    Strengths: I have used it driving on a noisy freeway with the windows down and can both clearly hear the other party and they can clearly understand my voise.

    Weaknesses: It would be nice if it could be made a smaller however this is not a major issue.

    Overall Evaluation: The unit has excellent noise canceling features and the charge time is excellent too. It is the third unit I have tried and is far superior to the others. Now if they could make it a little smaller in size it would be fantastic.
