    The Jawbone2 BT Headset is truly the epitome of class and style when it comes to BT headsets, it not only looks great, but it’s comfortable and works well. The NoiseAssassin feature really does work at blocking out all external sounds, you can easily drive with the windows down and talk with no interference at all. It’s extremely comfortable to wear, after a while you don’t even notice that it’s on your ear, and this is of course due to the fact that Aliph... Read more

  2. Review: New Aliph Jawbone II Bluetooth Headset – Comparison With Original Jawbone

    In short I decided to go back to the original Jawbone after trying this new iteration. Sadly the smaller size was not worth the sacrifice in audio quality. The old Jawbone can now be found online for about $45 which makes it a much better deal. If you can handle the extra heft of the original I highly recommend it! Hopefully the Jawbone III will be more impressive… and have a better ear hook. In the end I gave the new Jawbone II headset a 6 because it is still better... Read more

    T he first Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset impressed the critics at CNET so much that they gave it an Editors’ Choice award, and now that the sequel has dropped into our hot little hands, we’re going to have to place it right along with its older brother, basking in glory. This time, Aliph’s brought out a headset that is smaller and lighter than its predecessor and has a simpler ear-hook design for better positioning than its bulkier brother. Aliph has dropped the...

  5. Aliph Jawbone2 Review

    Reviewer: Gadgetnutz
    5 January 2010

    This is the best headset I have ever tested. If there is a better headset on the market, I haven’t heard about it. It is expensive, and it is exclusively at ATT stores (for now) but it is worth the money and the trip to the store. The design is comfortable and fashionable. It is very powerful, easy to use and the build quality is second to none. Read more

    I bought both the Black and Silver models. This works better then 12 other Bluetooth I've used including the Jabra JX-10 runner up. I tested with the NoiseAssassin on and off in many various conditions to my voice mail and it cuts the background noise "Considerably". I rated the performance a 4 because at times it cuts out all background noise as well as the UTube Construction noise video: so it sounds like you are in a closed room alone: to a moderately good amount of...

  2. Great noise canceling, poor fitment

    First off, this is a great noise canceling headset. The noise assassin works wonderfully... if you can get it to fit right. I find that if I yawn, smile, or otherwise move my head the rubber tip on the boom becomes separated from my cheek bone, rendering my voice as being canceled out. On top of the poor fitment, while the person on the other end can hear you loud and clear, in loud environments it is very difficult to hear anyone because the volume simply does not go... Read more

  3. "Impressive functions"

    I think some of the low reviewers just don't know what they're doing with this headset. Noise Assassin is on by default, and you must wear it so the clear tube is touching your cheek. If you don't, the quality of the call will be terrible on the other end (they will have a hard time hearing you). When I used the attached ear piece I had a hard time keeping the tube in contact with my jaw. I switched ear buds, but nothing seemed to work, it kept losing contact with my... Read more

  5. I hate this Jawbone!

    I hate this Jawbone! First off I way over paid for the performance delivered versus the performance promised. It doesn't fit comfortably. The best fit was with out any of the ear adapters. The ear hooks are cheap and break and Jawbone wants $30 for three more pieces of junk! The plastic imitation carbon fiber cover also broke off and I cant even find that for sale. Performance sucks...especially in the wind. Nobody can hear you. Don't buy this!!!!!! Read more
