    Duration of ownership:3 Days

    Strengths: Sound Quality, Durability, Looks good, Lightweight, Actual working range between headset and phone, noise reduction.

    Weaknesses: Size (a little bit big and bulkier than most), Earhooks are fairly easy to snap off at insertion point.

    Overall Evaluation: I believe that the designer of this product thought everything out very well. It took a little bit of time for me to find the appropriate earhook and earbud setup to suit my needs and in the process of bending an earhook around I did snap one off at the point where you would insert it into the headset, so be carefull not to bend it much at that point. I found that the ear-gels made by Jabra was the best earbud for me and works great with this Jawbone headset too. I was extremely pleased when I got on the phone and placed my first call with it, the other party could not believe that I was actually driving along in my noisy truck which with any headset previous to this one they complained of heavy noise sounding like a wind storm (even with my windows shut). Well with the Jawbone they barely heard any noise with the windows open and no noise with them up. I can actually walk away from my phone and still maintain a clear connection. It was money well spent, no doubt! ***

    Strengths: Call quality, volume. In ear buds.

    Weaknesses: Ear buds a little too hard. Non-replaceable battery.

    Overall Evaluation: This is the earpiece I\\\'ve been looking for. Can hear callers in my noisy car and outside without having to crank the volume to harmful levels. Earpiece stays put altho it takes a bit to learn how to get in on. And the vendor Quack Quack was a breeze to deal with and provided the high quality product and low price I was looking for.

    Strengths: Great sound, easy to use, sleek design.

    Weaknesses: Doesn't fit in ear as snuggly as I would like.

    Overall Evaluation: Overall I like this product a lot. I wish it fit in my ear better, but other than that I have no complaints. I have recommended this product to friends and family.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Noise cancellation qualities. And, it does look good compared to most other such devices. Other functionality is standard.

    Weaknesses: Ear piece has broken off. The ear canal piece easily comes off in my pocket when not in use. Takes overly long, like all other bluetooth devices, to sync with the phone and be truly usable.

    Overall Evaluation: From what I can tell, however, this is one of the premium devices in the marketplace. It is, perhaps, that the phones don't implement the bluetooth standard right, but it almost seems as though bluetooth isn't ready for prime time. I am disappointed, but the alternative of holding my phone while I am driving is even less enticing. Yes, I'd buy it again, but...

    Strengths: Can't really list any at the moment. Jawbone will replace unit even if bought elsewhere.

    Weaknesses: Sound quality and fit. Jawbone won't refund unless you buy from their site.

    Overall Evaluation: I am exchanging this unit to see if the sound problems go away, but the static on the listener end is very bad. People have had to end our conversation out of frustration. I also cannot hear very well using this headset while I am driving. The fit is not good, which they say may be causing the sound problem. They provide 2 "earloops" for each ear. Both are too big for me. Other headsets I've tried have fit fine. Jawbone recommends I buy an earloop from another vendor. Other customers must have complained, too. My ear hurt after wearing it for only a short time. Unit is also larger than you would expect from photos, including the one on Jawbone's website. I'll report back if the replacement unit works properly.

    Strengths: clear connectionlight weight

    Weaknesses: the fit

    Overall Evaluation: The jawbone does what it says and I haven't gotten the complaints from people I talk to like I did using my old ear piece. It does take some time to get it on and it a good position, but it gets the job done. I really only use it when I'm in the car, so the fit is not too annoying.

    Strengths: - Looks Great- Can Hear Caller Clearly- Caller Can Hear You Perfectly- Great Noise Cancelling Technology- Well Built

    Weaknesses: - No Call Waiting Function- Unique Charging Connection

    Overall Evaluation: The Jawbone bluetooth headset is for those who want the best headset you can buy. You can't get any more stylish and the noise cancelling technology works like a charm. It can't block wind or sharp sounds close to the headset, but you can have loud music on in your car and your caller won't hear a thing besides your voice. If you are like me and depend on your voice dialing, then this headset will make you very happy. It understands everything you say with more precision that even the phone itself it seems. The only negatives I can find are that it actually has no ability change calls with call waiting, so you have to use the phone to switch between callers. This can be annoying while driving, since it then does not stick with the whole hands free concept. The other thing is that it uses a unique charging connection. It does not use a standard connection, like a mini or micro USB. It of course comes with a charger, so it causes no issues, but you can't use any existing chargers. It does come with dual charging capabilities though. It comes with the USB charging cord and an AC adapter to plug the USB cord into for charging on the go. The adapter of course then can even be used by any other USB charging cord you may have. It all comes down to whether or not you have the money to spend. If you do, then this is the headset for you.

    Strengths: Fantastic noise cancellation to eliminate background noise behind your voice, auto adjustment of earpiece volume based on noise level, general wear comfort

    Weaknesses: difficult to carry around in your pocket safely

    Overall Evaluation: Its noise cancellation feature is the real deal. Volume auto adjustment is usually adequate, although there are times where its loudest isn't quite as loud as I would like. While not as comfortable and secure as the Plantronics Voyager 510, it is generally comfortable to wear after experimenting to find best combination of fitting components. Definitely better than the Jabra BT800. The spring-loaded wire ear support does fine holding the vibration sensor to your face.There is no particularly good alternative to carrying it around when not wearing it. Carrying it in your pants pocket can bend the wire support, and the earphone tip occasionally gets twisted off.

    Strengths: noise suppression

    Weaknesses: ear loops

    Overall Evaluation: Headset is top notch, noise suppression really works. Headset does everything that is advertised. I've had seven different headsets and this is by far the best on the market at this time.
