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.

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.

Strengths: Comfortable, Noise reduction works as well as advertised
Weaknesses: Took a longer on the first charge than the instructions said but was fine after that.
Overall Evaluation: Ordered this as a present for my wife. It works as advertised.She's tried it in her car at her work next to a flow hood. Both are noisy backgrounds to talk on a phone. Works like a charm. He voice is always clear. Occasionally there is a water fall noise but she remains clear. Having driven and had to turn off my radio and close my windows to answer the phone this makes things easier.

Strengths: Best in the market at cutting out road/people noise. Stays in your ear better than most and with the least amount of discomfort.
Weaknesses: Person on other end cannot hear you at all when it's windy outside. Battery dies quickly if it remains on 24/7. If people talk too loudly, it hurts on your end. If you talk too loudly, they get feedba
Overall Evaluation: I and three other people in my family now all have the Jawbone headsets. The other three have tried numerous headsets that are on the market. They all travel in their vehicles and are in very noisy restaurants and stores when talking on their phones. The Jawbone is THE best at cutting down all that peripheral noise. My mom can be in Starbucks with the music blaring and people shouting, and I can barely hear a thing. My dad can be on his 16-wheeler truck, and I hear little road noise. The biggest con is that if you're wearing it outside and it's windy, the person on the other end cannot hear you. That is quite frustrating, though not enough to not buy it. It IS pricey but well worth it! The best thing is, if you have any trouble with the earbuds or anything, you just call Jawbone and they send you out a replacement.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Noise cancellation technology is excellent. Very comfortable with a bit of adjustment. Many fittings to choose from to conform to your ear. Great talk time, will last as long as my phone (SE K55i).
Weaknesses: Sound quality slightly below average, but clear. Some tones very loud, but tolerable.
Overall Evaluation: This product has proven extremely useful in many noisy environments. I can be in my car listening to music with the window down without hearing complaints from the other end about any interference. Overall I would rate this 4

Strengths: Blocks some of the ambient noise.
Weaknesses: Doesn't perform as promised.
Overall Evaluation: On a windy day, the other party has trouble hearing the conversation. It is definitely not as effective as the product advertisement indicates. I find it rather difficult to hear the other party even when the volume is turned up to the max level. I don't have my headset on my ear constantly but rather keep it in a shirt pocket. Placing the headset on my ear is cumbersome and is rather uncomfortable to wear. When pushing the button on the headset to end a call it activates the voice dialing program on a Blackberry Curve, which is very annoying. Haven't found a way to prevent this at this time. REM, the Blackberry manufacturer, doesn't know why this happens or how to prevent it.
