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!

July 1st is fast catching up with all of us here in California. After 38 other states in the country, California is also going to implement a ban on mobile phone usage while driving – forcing a lot of us to abandon the single-handed steering maneuvers while talking on the phone.

The only way to continue yapping in the car is to use headsets. Last week, I finally decided to buy a bluetooth headset before it is too late and I get a ticket.

Trust me I have tried using these pesky things more than a couple of times in the last few years.  But one of two things happened – either the headset was discharged just when I plugged it into my ear to receive a call, or I would take it home to charge and forget to get it back to the car. The last time I owned a headset was before it got crushed under a truck’s tires (I was crossing the road with a bunch of shopping bags and the headset in my hands, dropped the headset and heard a silent crunch as it got squashed to bits under a passing truck…sigh)

Scanning aisle after aisle looking at tons of tiny headsets, I was so sure that I was going to lose whatever I bought and would be back here in a week’s time – looking for another one.

And then I saw the Yada! It is amazing how the most basic design can be the perfect solution to all our headset troubles. The straight, simple lines, accessible push-click button are both functional and sophisticated.

The Yada bluetooth headset has a simple, easy-to-figure-out design. It connects easily to any bluetooth enabled phone in two simple steps – turn on the bluetooth on both the phone and headset and enter the passkey on your phone. Voila!

The Yada can connect to up to eight bluetooth devices – so everyone in your family can use the it if need be, and you can also hook it up to your multiple phones, including VOIP phones.

The best bit about the Yada is that it has a charging dock that mounts to your dashboard or air vent and plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car – so the headset is always charged. And I don’t have to take it out of my car, so it is always there when I need it. Now that solves all my troubles.

The charging dock also has an attached dock for my phone. It is a universal phone holder (I wish it could charge my phone too but sadly it can’t) it has two expandable arms that can secure any phone, so they don’t end up on the car floor.

An amazing feature of the Yada is its auto-power, auto-answer and auto-end functions. As soon as you sit in the car and start it, it automatically detects your phone’s bluetooth signal and connects to it. And it automatically powers off it it does not detect bluetooth signals from your phone for over an hour.

The auto-answer function allows you to just lift the the headset and place it into your ear to answer a call. And when you are done, just place it back into its dock to end the call. Alternatively, you can place it in your ear – it is quite small and sits snugly – and push a multi-function button on its surface to answer or cancel calls.

Aah, the days of bending double and squinting under the car seat looking for my phone and headset are over. The Yada is just what I needed for my everyday driving needs – it’s sure an amazing tech product!
