not very good
by Richard on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 2:13 PM:
I bought this device on good recommendations only to be disappointed. The ear piece has never fit properly and will not stay against my face. Even after trying to manipulate the ear hangers, nothing works for me. Sound quality is ok from my end but anyone I am talking to tells me it sounds like I am in a large hall. My voice is faint and echoes. I would not recommend this device.
Jawbone Review
by Rich on Nov 5th, 2008 at 3:08 PM:
I got the jawbone 2 a month ago and can't get it to fit correctly around my ear or in my ear. The piece that is supposed to be activated by speaking does not remain in contact with my cheek even with the slightest movement of my head. The sound quality when it is not touching my face is terrible, like old AM radio. So I have to hold it to my face when talking. Not hands free. I have switched back to my Plaintronix which has better sound quality at 1/4 the price.
Works as advertised, should have spent a bit more on product design

I gave the Jawbone a few 'torture' tests by driving it through highway construction zones with stripped pavement. When asked, the caller on the other end could not notice at all. Finally a product that works as it's supposed to. You really do need to keep the lower rubber tip touching your face though or the person on the other end won't hear you. I wish, however, that the Aliph had spent a bit more on product design and made a descent protective case not unlike the 'lipstick case' plantronics provides with their Discovery 655. It's almost a crime when a company puts out a high end product at a high end price point, spent considerable coinnage in packaging design and also in packaging costs, yet would have the user place this rather delicate piece of technology loose in their pocket when not in use. The charge hub is a bit on the cheap side of design as well. It's almost as if Aliph quit thinking after creating an excellent head set.
poor reliability

Bought Jawbone Bluetooth one year ago. Worked great for few months. Then began acting sporadically. Now just 2 weeks after warranty expiration, the outgoing sound is universally horrible. I know proper placement (again, I used it very happily for first few months..so know how to use properly) but now EVERY call has horrible out going sound. I cannot make a good call, every person I call says it sounds horrible. Noisy, low volume (on their end), etc.
On my end, I get great reception. But it is now useless. Also, battery life has plummeted. Reliability of this device is poor. Wish they had spent some of the money they used on pretty packaging and the cost to design it and instead used a plain cardboard box and given the device better reliability.
