Rating  - The Pros and Cons
I was very excited to try the Jawbone. And I'm still using it every day. I have found that it's not working very well for me. I can't get the only ear loop included to hold the ear piece near the ear canal. I cannot get the jawbone to stay against my face so that the noise canceling feature works. The persons I am talking to say that I'm breaking up badly, because it's not held against the face bone. When the noise canceling is off, it works fine. I take the index finger of my left hand to hold it against my face while driving, if I feel the need for the noise canceling feature.
I do like that the charger works by connecting to the USB port on my computer. However, it is a fight every time, trying to get it to unplug. It has to be at just the right angle in order to get it to release.
I particularly like that when I walk out of bluetooth range for a few minutes, when not using it, that it will reconnect to the phone upon returning ... even after as much as three or four minutes. My last two bluetooth headsets would just drop the connection permanently, once I was out of range over approximately a minute.
I really like the concept of this headset. I'm just a bit frustrated that it isn't working better.
Rating  - Outstanding!
This is the best bluetooth headset I have ever used. It filters out noise in most every environment in which I have used it: airport, car, street, etc. It could fit a little better, but it is so superior to any other headset I have used that I can overlook this minor annoyance.
Rating - Great Bluetooth Headset
The Jawbone Bluetooth headset is a top quality product, simple to use and best of all provides a clear consistent connection at all times. I have walked around a moderate sized office and left my phone behind and the headset performs flawlessly. Well constructed with all of the accessories needed to customize it to your ear (left or right) and (big or small).
Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
Rating  - Painful to wear. Bad design. Poor customer service. Stay away!
I purchased this headset with high expectations. I took my time. I compared and contrasted. I read all the reviews. I thought I had made a great purchase.
Unfortunately, the ergonomic design of this headset does not match the electronic design. I can't believe how badly Aliph missed the mark with this headset!
First, the good. The sound from this headset rocks! The noise mitigating technology is great. I work in computer data centers the noise level often fluctuates. The set adjusts both the sound heard by the other listener and the volume that I hear. It still has very poor quality in windy environments, but I don't know of a set that doesn't.
Now the bad. This headset wouldn't be allowed in Guantanamo Bay. It is pure torture to wear. The various combinations of ear bud and ear loop just gives you more ways to inflict pain on your ears. I can't wear the headset for more than about 10-15 minutes, and sometimes end calls due to the uncomfortable feeling.
I used to put the set in my pocket between calls. Problem is that the ear loops are made of weak material and break easily. I contacted the company and they indicates that this is because if the loop doesn't break, the headset itself would break instead.
The company told me I could "gently" bend the loops to fit my ear better. They also recommended Jabra ear gels instead of the Aliph ear buds. They also recommended a place that can make a custom gel earbud (for about $65 + shipping).
I asked them if it felt right to them that I paid $130 (Best Buy) for their headset and then have to bend the pieces that come with it and buy a competitor's ear gel just to make it comfortable. They didn't seem to have a problem with it.
I finally got around the earloop pain by bending a paper clip around my ear and using that for a loop. I do intend to buy a different ear gel bud because Aliph's just hurts my ear.
Also interesting that when I told them I had relieved the loop problem with a custom bent paper clip, they never asked to see it. They don't seem interested in improving the feel of this product on the ear.
All said, I would never buy this product again and cannot recommend it for use. The is sound quality not worth the pain.
