The Long Trek to a Jawbone review...

Posted by Don Tolson in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM



Product Category: Bluetooth Headset
Manufacturer: Aliph
Where to Buy: Expansys (affiliate)
Price: $119.95 USD Includes headset, wall charger, USB cable, 4 earloops (2 right and 2 left) and 4 earbuds.
System Requirements: Pairing unit will need to support Bluetooth 1.2 as a minimum.
Specifications: Physical dimensions: 22mm (.87") x 58mm (2.3") x 17mm (.67") Technical: 6 hours talk time, 120 hours standby. Charging from a USB port (with the unit off) takes about 2 hours.

Pros:
  • Noise cancellation and voice activation technology are excellent;
  • Lightweight and comfortable;
  • Smaller and less obtrusive than other Bluetooth headsets.

    Cons:
  • Difficult to get a snug, tight fit into the ear;
  • Buttons need a significant push to activate;
  • USB charging cable uses a proprietary connector;
  • Audio quality not particularly good for music.

    Summary:
    Yes, this could be considered pretty 'old' news. The Jawbone has been around for a number of months now and there have been innumerable reviews already posted around the Internet. You've no doubt heard glowing reviews of the noise cancellation abilities of the Jawbone and if not, here's a demo. We really did try to get onto this while it was hot, but getting a unit to review was quite the journey, and I thought some insights on what happens on the way to a review and some actual hands on, extended use of the unit outside of the office environment might be of interest.
