Review: Age of Jawbone
June 12th, 2008 by Amazing Tech Woman, Denise
It’s talk-safe time in California. On July 1st, California will follow 30 other states in implementing a ban on driving while talking on the cellphone. Everyone is buying headsets, even those who hate the pesky, poky, blinking, Martian antibodies.
My girlfriend had been complaining about hers from day one – she had a sore ear and a tangle of wires running from the headset to her phone. The audio quality was decent…err, until she blundered by opening the sun roof in her car. Her voice was instantly lost in the flurrying wind.
We decided to go together to an electronics mall and buy a better headset for her.It was overwhelming to walk down aisles flooded with tiny headsets. None appeared to us any more impressive than the other until..
We saw the Jawbone. Its sexy design made us ooh and aah. The Jawbone trumpeted itself in two simple words – Noise Assassin. It was bluetooth, so there would be no tangled wires. The Jawbone also came with different sizes of earplugs and earloops to fit every ear.
The Jawbone uses very advanced audio technology where a voice sensor at the bottom of the headset rests on your cheek and senses motion as you talk. It only picks up the sounds coordinating with the muscle movements in your cheek, so the background noise is completely ‘assassinated’, in Jawbone lingo. My friend was persuaded.
The next day she called me while driving. It was great – I could hear her crystal clear despite the windows being rolled down and the wind racing past her. The Jawbone got a thumbs up!
The Jawbone is a really classy accessory for anyone who has to answer a lot of calls all the time and doesn’t want to engage one hand with the phone. It is a bluetooth headset which automatically detects the phone it is paired with and connects to it seamlessly. Once your phone has been paired the first time, the headset disconnects from it when the phone is farther than 10 meters away, and connects automatically when the phone is in range.
The Jawbone also does not have any blinking buttons that make you look like you stepped straight out of Star Wars. It has discreet, invisible buttons which can be pressed lightly to answer or end a call, and control volume. The LED lights on the surface are discreet and not at all intrusive.
The Jawbone is the perfect bluetooth headset – both modern and functional. If you have not yet bought a headset, the Jawbone would be ideal to leapfrog you into July’s talk-safe time. The Jawbone would also make a great Father’s Day gift for Dad – give him something sleek and sexy, with a Noise Assassin and he will call you more often too!
