  Strengths: Out going voice quality is excellent. People comment on how clear it sounds even when I am in noisy environment

  Weaknesses: sound is a bit hallow similar to digital phones. a bit bulky and somewhat difficult to fit.

  Overall Evaluation: All in all a terrific headset. Had the Plantronics discovery 640 which is excellent but the Jawbones Noise Shield technology is terrific close call if it is worth the price. Although I have recommended it to several friends and as I got more use to it I like even more.

  Strengths: Noise cancellation technology is the best. Stylish look. Excellent call quality. I don't have to raise my voice to talk!

  Weaknesses: Talk button is sometimes hard to press. Can't change the volume unless you're actually connected to a call. There are no seperate buttons for volume increase/decrease. Cycles from low to high.

  Overall Evaluation: This is my third Bluetooth headset, and is by far the best I've used. Let me first say that I have put the Jawbone's noise-cancellation to the test and it passed really well. I have talked to people and left long voice mails that I could listen to and I was amazed. I have talked on this: next to a busy highway, while vacuuming, watching television, next to my car's horn as it was blaring, while talking into the fan of a noisy central air unit(with my face one inch from the case while it was running), and a bunch of other places. The thing that I do notice is that when you are talking over a particularly loud/higher pitched noise,(especially vacuuming) my words are understandable, but has a "fuzzy" sound to it. Also, while watching television, the television can be heard in the background at lower levels. The true test, though, was talking to my mother and friends on the headset inches away from a busy road during rush hour. They did not notice any traffic noise, even after I pointed it out to them. I do not know if the headset has some sort of noise cancellation for the earpiece as well, because I had no problem understanding them. Usually, I'd walk about 50 ft. from the road and have to press the earpiece to my ear and plug the other one just to kind-of hear them, and then they couldn't understand me well and I'd just end up switching to the headset. I don't even have the Jawbone's volume at the highest setting. Wind noise isn't much of a problem. In my experience, most of it gets cancelled out. Even in a quiet room, I would have to speak louder than normal to be heard well. When I talk to them on my Jawbone they typically can't tell that I'm on a headset. The headset has a nice look and feel to it. I have larger ears, but my canals don't fit the typical round earbuds that many headsets use, which cause discomfort. Thankfully, this comes with different shaped earpieces with one that fits perfectly in my ear. This also weighs slightly more than my previous headset, but the distribution of the weight across the cheek makes it feel lighter. Oftentimes, I would have to take out my old headset after talking on it for 20 minutes because it felt uncomfortable and heavy. With the Jawbone, I've spent 4 hours talking with it and not had any discomfort. This is by far the best headset I've ever used. I've seen this priced as low as $69 at some online stores. Which is quite a value if you can find it. After using my Jawbone, even at $120 I think it's worth the money. I normally don't rave about products, but this one has been just fantastic!

  Strengths: Sound quality, noise limiting, charging options, appearance

  Weaknesses: Fit and size

  Overall Evaluation: This is my 3rd BT headset so I have tried and failed to receive the advertised benefits from a Cardio700 and Palm Treo. I pair to a Treo650 so that in itself is a problem. This headset delivers in reception on both ends, I can hear them and they can hear me. While background noise is less of an issue, it still can be heard by some. Most importantly, the headset must be in the correct position for optimal noise cancelling effect. This is where the problem is for me. My ears don't take the standard "earbud" headsets. They just don't fit! I tried each of the earbud adapters and earloop adapters and none really fit that great. One works well, but was so painful I couldn't wear the headset, so for me this is the greatest issue. You might have a more "normal" ear and it would work just fine. When the headset is in position, it does do a great job! If I had a more comfortable earbud adapter, I would give this BT headset 5 stars.

  Strengths: Excellent outgoing sound quality. Sleek design. Great signal quality. Good noise filtering.

  Weaknesses: Comfort of the earbuds. Incoming sound is a little "tinny" compared to my old Motorola and Jabra devices.

  Overall Evaluation: I ordered two of these; one for myself and one for my wife. It's more pricey than some of the others but it's worth it. This is the best headset I've ever owned.The noise filtering doesn't seem to work quite as well as the video on the Jawbone website, but then I've never had to use it around a leaf blower or weed whacker. It picks up wind, but is better in wind than my prior devices.I don't like the earbuds because they can tend to be a little uncomfortable, but I may not have put on the right one yet (it comes with four different sizes/styles). I read another review that recommended using a Jabra eargel thing instead and may try that.The signal strength is superior to both Jabra and Motorola headsets I've owned. It doesn't suffer packet loss (and stuttering sound) in the short few inches between my hip and my head like the Motorola did.

  Strengths: Improves the sound quality for both parties as I drive with top down in convertible....

  Weaknesses: Size. Also, based on other recommendations, I bought jabra mini eargels and they work great...

  Overall Evaluation: So, I was excited and skeptical after all the reviews. As expected it arrived and works like a charm. I suspect the next generation device will be smaller in size (at least I hope). Otherwise it works great. Highly recommend AAA+++

  Strengths: -Unique look-Comes with multiple earloops and adapters to customise fit

  Weaknesses: -Marginally better sound quality considering price-Difficult to fit properly-Heavy and insecure feeling

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased this based on the recommendation of my brother who uses it almost constantly. Considering the price I do not notice a significant improvement over the sound of the much less expensive ($22) and more comfortable Plantronics unit that this was meant to replace. It also took well over an hour trying to find the magic combination of earloop and adapter to fit and after it was fitted about as good as I could get it, including some slight twisting and bending of the wire earloop it still felt insecure and the rubber adapter that fits into the ear canal did not provide a good sound seal. The problem is compounded by the fact that the earloop is lightly spring loaded to press the sensor against your cheek but this has the side effect of tending to pull the adapter out of the ear. This is likely the reason that I feel the sound quality is not what it should be for the price. Additionally, the material that the earloop is made of is very stiff and apparently a bit brittle since one of the earloops broke near the end when trying to fit it. I am going to attempt to fit the earloop a little better than the fit that I have now and give it another chance but it would be better if the earloop was of more malleable material to allow the user to fit the loop better since, as they note, everyone's ears are different. On a usability note, my old headset made a sound when you lost signal, the Jawbone doesn't seem to do that. I found that particular feature of my old headset very convenient and miss it on this one.

  Strengths: Clarity of sound - both receiving and sending is first class.

  Weaknesses: Terrible fit into the ear.

  Overall Evaluation: I very much appreciate the sound quality, as did those I called using the jawbone. It is noticeably better than other bluetooth headsets. The problem, which to me is significant, is that none of the supplied, sized rubber ear pieces actually extend into the ear when worn with the over the ear harness. Even when I jam the ear piece into my ear it always pops out. That means that to hear effectively I must hold the earpiece to stay in my ear, which completely defeats the point of "handsfree" - especially important when I am driving. What would cure this is probably a combination of a different over-ear harness, with a longer ear channel capped by a rubber piece that fits snugly and comfortably in the ear - like what Sony and Shure use. A pity about the fit, because the sound is wonderful.

  Strengths: looks fantasticincredible rangegreat noise canceling (usually)

  Weaknesses: hard to get it to fit rightearpiece a little fragile

  Overall Evaluation: This is the only headset I've ever had people come up to me and tell me how great it looks. Also, if you get it set on your ear/jaw just right, the noise canceling is awesome. Finally, the range is easily double or more anything else I've ever used. On the other hand, people say that my voice didn't sound very good; getting it adjusted snugly in your ear and on your face takes some doing sometimes; the wire in the earpiece tends to snap if you bend it wrong (happened to me and a friend). At least, their customer service replaced the broken ear loop right away. Tough call to make whether it's worth 3 times the price of most other BT headsets.
