Abstract: Video Review: The Aliph Jawbone2 Bluetooth headset just happens to be smaller and more stylish than the original Jawbone, and it still has great noise cancellation. Categories: Bluetooth, Cell Phones Date: June 2, 2008 Duration: 00:01:34 Keywords: ali...
Abstract: We have already mentioned that the major complaint against the original Jawbone headset was due to the size. With the promise of the new Jawbone being 50% smaller, that was all it took to plunk down another $129, even though the original was still work...
This is the best headset I have ever tested. If there is a better headset on the market, I havent heard about it. It is expensive, and it is exclusively at AT&T stores (for now) but it is worth the money and the trip to the store. The design is comf...

Abstract: The 2008 version of Jawbone preserves the unique shape and general styling of its predecessor, using a gently curved black, mostly glossy plastic body that in no way looks geeky or sci-fi. Whereas the prior 2.2"-long Jawbone was quite wide by the stan...
The new Jawbone beats its predecessor from top to bottom in comfort and sound. While the original earpiece set the standard for Bluetooth sound quality, wearing it for an hour felt like exercise to my ear. The gen 2 is much lighter, sits in my ear com...
Abstract: The new Jawbone, made by a closely held San Francisco company called Aliph, is 50% smaller than the original Jawbone, which I reviewed in 2006. It continues to boast the original Jawbone’s signature feature: a remarkable ability to suppress background noise and isolate the wearer’s voice...
