Strengths: sound, very loud, noise is abated somewhat
Weaknesses: fit, fragile metal earloop
Overall Evaluation: Not quite convinced this is "military grade" noise cancelation, but it is the best headset i have ever used. It paired with my t-mobile dash with no problems, works great in the car, my caller had no car noise from my side with my tests. I already broke one of the metal earloops and lost the cap that goes on the charge leads, but i dont think its necessary. I recommend this headset.

Strengths: Sound quality is amazing, noise canceling works great (maybe not as great as the company's promo video would like you to believe, but great none the less), comfortable
Weaknesses: to secure earbuds, you can inadvertently cover the speaker "hole" if you don't put it on correctly (the bud will lock into place but it muffles the sound terribly)
Overall Evaluation: I work as a 911 operator and wear a headset 10-12 hours a day, so I am a little picky when it comes to headsets. The Jawbone is INCREDIBLE! I forget that I have it on sometimes it is so light weight. The sound is so clear and crisp. Now only if I can get them approved for use at work!

Strengths: Good sound quality for the person on the receiving end of the call.
Weaknesses: 1- Bad sound quality for the person wearing the headset. It sounds as if the other party is always on speaker phone.2- The fit is awful. I could not get it to work.
Overall Evaluation: As for fit, I am using the Jabra eargels. Although they fit my ear very well, I had to use strong glue for them to stay on the Jawbone. With the eargels, I don't even use the Jawbone ear loop.Obviously Jawbone needs to work on their fit but doing this neat trick is worth the effort. Other headsets I've used just have too much background noise for the person on the other end of the phone.

Strengths: Superior technology and function.
Weaknesses: Haven't come across any yet.
Overall Evaluation: Better than they say it is. Can drive with windows down and stereo cranked. Even use it at a music concert, the person your talking to will only hear you, and nothing else. It will also noise cancel for you too, so you can hear the person your talking to perfectly clear and not to loud. I am using it with a verizon LG phone with no problems. Instructions were straight forward and establishing a blue tooth connection was simple. The usb cable is convenient for charging. It also plugs into an AC wall outlet. It also fits well and is not too heavy. It comes with 4 different size ear pieces and loops. Happiness is present!

Strengths: Reception and ease of use

Overall Evaluation: Configuring unit to cell phone is very easy and straightforward. Features like the redial and volume control make this a nice companion to your blue-tooth capable phone. Product for the cost is a great buy.

Strengths: cool design
Weaknesses: FIT, FIT, FIT. This may be a great headset with supposedly revolutionary sound canceling, IF you can get the headset to fit properly. ( in 3 weeks I have NOT).
Overall Evaluation: I have read and tried Jabra ear jells,( could not make it work) Silicone ear plugs, Shaped to fit my ear ( still not good) I was in O?hare and there was NO sound canceling, in fact my father said he could hear the announcements better then he could me. Look this may work for you; maybe it is the shape of my ear. I have found that it will stay put if I am sitting still, but that does not make for a really good experience. My suggestion is not to waste your money. By a Plantornics or a Jabra , save your self the money and do not be frustrated.

Strengths: Filters some back ground noise.Easy to fit to your ear.Time it takes to recharge is good.Volume is good and clear most of time.
Weaknesses: Continuous talk time - Actual (Wife's 120-180 Minutes) (Mine 80- 120).Weak phone reception both the phone & Jawbone battery diminishes faster than phone alone.Wind is not filtered
Overall Evaluation: My wife and I like the Jawbone very much. We would probably buy another if one broke. We both have used several other Bluetooth headsets and the Jawbone is the best one yet. We have yet to find one that lives up to the MFG claims and this one is no different in that respect. Background noise IS NOT canceled as MFG claims but is reduced to an acceptable level. My wife uses her during long business calls which go for hours and after two to three hours her Jawbone dies. Myself, I talk about 200 to 600 minutes a month and I have to recharge both my phone (Sanyo 8400) and Jawbone at least every other day if not every day and by both MFG claims once a week for the Jawbone and three time a week for the phone should be all I would need in order to keep connected. I am not complaining I'm just stating the facts as I see them. We have got uses to recharging both phones and Jawbones at least every night because if we don't one or both will die when we need it the most. The only complaint we have is with the charger that came with my Jawbone, and as it will recharge both Jawbone, you have to plug and unplug the Jawbone several times to get it to start charging. We know it's the charger because the charger that came with my wife's Jawbone you plug it in and wait for the red light to turn white and my charger you have to get the white light to turn red which it is not always an easy thing to do.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Great noise reduction and sound.
Weaknesses: Horrible fit. The included earpieces and ear loops just don't do it for me.
Overall Evaluation: Overall this is a good product. Certainly it's sound quality it great because of its amazing noise reduction technology. However, the included earpieces and earloops did not fit my ears at all. I kept feeling like the Jawbone was going to fall out. It was absolutely not secure in my ear. I ended up using Jabra replacement eargels and so far it's worked great.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Looks cool, pairing was easy, and I love the charger.
Weaknesses: Difficult to put on, sounds horrible.
Overall Evaluation: I've read other reviews. Some people have great sound, others have poor sound. Paired with my Treo 700p, the sound was awful. Very "tinny" on my end, and those I spoke to told me I sounded like I was "in a tunnel".I suspect I'd probably get better at it over time, but it was very difficult to put on quickly. I don't wear a headset all day. I pick it up and put it on when the phone rings. I missed a few calls because I couldn't get it around my ear in time.Pairing was a smooth process. The combo USB/wall charger is fantastic.

Strengths: It kept its charge. The selling merchant was great.
Weaknesses: VERY difficult to press the buttons. Extraordinarily poor reception. Noise cancelling made me think callers had hung up. Did I say poor reception?
Overall Evaluation: Admittedly, I am picky about the various phones I use; especially those that require you to stick them in your ear. The Jawbone Wireless Cell Phone Headset was advertised as being the most scientifically advanced of such machines available, and at more than $100 each I was hopeful. I'm no speing checken and my hearing isn't what it once was; however, I think I hear as well as most people my age (six and a half decades).After charging overnight and pairing the thing with my phone (easy), I tried a few calls from my office, home, and outside in NYC. Well, placing calls was easy but the reception was terrible. What frustrated me most, though, were the buttons for raising the volume, answering and ending a call. There is no tactile response or any sound - at least I heard none - so your left pressing the suface of this tiny thing all over hoping for a response. I actually had terminated a call and re-dialed it before I gave up on the thing. It didn't matter because I couldn't hear anyhtiong much above the squawk. Don't waaste your money or time.
