Strengths: Excellent sound quality and comfort
Weaknesses: No call waiting featureVolume is tough to change
Overall Evaluation: The headset has a very cool design and yet is very functional and comfortable. My only complaints are the lack of a call waiting feature and the volume control. Sound quality is generally excellent. Definitely would recommend.

Strengths: very clear, on both ends. Quick Connects (on my phone at least and motorola razor) and instantly ready for use. Battery life is pretty good too.
Weaknesses: um price
Overall Evaluation: I had a cheapo 23 dollar bluetooth set before, only because i lose them so i dont invest into expensive sets. I figured theyre ALL the same and do the same. Jawbone, is honestly perhaps worth the extra if youre the type that doesnt lose small things. I tested it out and the Jawbone recognizes and connects with phones partically INSTANTLY with my Samsung A90 and my father

Strengths: Sound clarity, ease of use, stays connected
Weaknesses: A bit bulky. I did not experience the loose fit or difficulty over the ear as some other users have identified
Overall Evaluation: I'm very happy with the purchase. The sound quality is the best I've owned both in receiving calls and for callers to hear me. Seems much better for callers to hear me when I'm in the car or out on a windy day. It seemed a bit on the expensive side so I was hesitant at first, but it is a good buy if you want function. If you want style, you might consider something newer.

Strengths: This headset is very designed. I tested it with my niece at a very noisy restaurant bar, and she came through loud and clear with very little background noise.
Weaknesses: Tried all the ear loops and buds combination but could not find a perfectly snug fit. Aliph needs to make earbuds that's in-the-ear like the ones from Shure or other professional headphones companies?
Overall Evaluation: Overall it is a pleasure to use. In CA, with the upcoming law enforcing handsfree cell phone usage while driving, this headset is one of the best. Everyone needs to take a look at Jawbone before getting a cheapo headset being sold at CostCo, Fry's or Sam's Club. Name brand at a super low price does not a good bluetooth headset make.

Strengths: Good sound quality. Please do not realize I am on a bluetooth device.
Weaknesses: Somethimes loses its connection to the Smartphone. Not sure if it is a Jawbone problem or a Smartphone problem
Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent product and I would purchase it again if necessary. The company provides multiple ways to connect to your ear for better comfort. It is easy to cofigure to use with a Treo smartphone.

Strengths: Sound clarity and noise filtering is awesome.
Weaknesses: Kind of difficult to put it on.
Overall Evaluation: Man, I got to tell you, this is the best bluetooth headset that I've ever owned. It's unique look makes it way more attractive than the other bluetooth devices. I recommend buying this product. Once you find the earpiece that is more comfortable to fit in your ear then there will be no problem. I hardly notice it on. I will give you a update after 30 days.

Strengths: Noise Shield, stylish, comfortable on normal to big ears.
Weaknesses: Expensive, not made for tiny to small ears. Sound quality is so so to standard headset by comparison.
Overall Evaluation: The product worked as advertised, the noise shield is the best in the market in my opinion. However, my girlfriend still complaints that she can't hear me due to low volume on initial conversation, but 5-10seconds later she can hear me better. I think it is because of the volume auto adjustment software didn't kick in fast enough. The volume on my receiving end is a bit low to my taste even when I've set it to max (could be ear problems). All in all, it works like a bluetooth headset with adv. noise shield feature. I give it a 4.5

Strengths: Does exactly what Aliph says it does.
Weaknesses: Big compared to some.
Overall Evaluation: Awesome product. I use it at work, and I work on heavy, loud, equipment. I can talk on the phone about 10-15 feet away from the equipment and people hear me fine thanks to the Jawbone. I can't stand any closer b/c then I can't hear anything. But it actually does what it is advertised to do, unlike a lot of bluetooth headsets.

Strengths: Wired ear loop. I had the nXZEN from Gennum Corp prior, their plastic ear loop broke all the time,this is a refreshing relief to know I will not have to loose the use of my headset for a design flaw.
Weaknesses: Sometimes takes alittle extra push to answer a call on the headset, but nothing big deal.
Overall Evaluation: Excellent, sound is great. I really like this headset, have been searching for something worth it's investment, this is it. It fits on ear easily and rarely felt it. Would definitely recommend.

Strengths: Noise cancellation, range, voice recognition, appearance
Weaknesses: Ear piece fit
Overall Evaluation: Pluses. This is the best blue tooth device I have owned - and I have drawer full of dead ones to prove it. The noise cancellation works as advertised though the sound on the user end is a little "tinny", but acceptable. I have mine paired with a Blackberry 8830 and it is a perfect match. For whatever reason, the voice recognition works better than any other Bluetooth device I have used. Minuses. The raised "button" that you push to accept and disconnect calls is not nearly large enough to find without running your fingers up and down the device in a frantic search while trying to answer an incoming call. I solved this problem by placing a small dot of clear epoxy on top of the "button" and I can now easily find the spot. The one really nagging complaint are the ear buds/ear loop. For as much engineering as obviously went into the inner workings of the device I would have thought they would have spent more time on the fit and comfort of the ear loop/ear buds - but unfortunately they did not. The ear loop is a daily lesson in patience to get it to fit right and I have tried every one of the earbuds they supplied and each one has its own draw back. I even tried the Jabra eargels one other reviewer recommended and I could not get them to stay on the device. In summarry, even with the shortfalls I have listed I would still highly recommend the Jawbone. It comes closest to what I have expected from all the Bluetooth devices I have owned to date.
