Not as good as the Original Jawbone
on June 1, 2008
Posted by: SusanNOz
I purchased the original Jawbone when I got my Blackberry 8800 about a 18 months ago. It was my first and only experience with a Bluetooth headset. I loved it!!
I Lost my Jawbone headset on my last International trip and had to replace it. The day I did my research to find a new one was the day Jawbone 2 came on the market. I purchased one from an AT&T store while traveling 2 weeks ago.
First impression: I like the original better.
The new one charges much faster but the battery has about half of the life of the original. Very little warning before it goes dead suddenly.
Jawbone 2 fit is much better than the original, but getting it in the right position to have the best reception is tricky. If the new jawbone doesn't touch your face perfectly your caller will have difficulty hearing you.
My fist callers made comments like:
"you sound muffled", "it sounds like you are in a tin can", "I can't hear you, you're breaking up". My own hearing also suffered in clarity over the original.
"you sound muffled", "it sounds like you are in a tin can", "I can't hear you, you're breaking up". My own hearing also suffered in clarity over the original.
I made a test call to myself with the radio in the background of the car. The noise assassin killed the radio and the air noises of driving. As I've continued to try to make the new Jawbone work, it has gotten better--when I pay strict attention to detail of fit.
If I had never had the original Jawbone I would probably think the new version is fantastic. However, I am now looking for the original version at a good price to use when I need it or the new version goes dead.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Finally...someone got it right. This is the headset I've been waiting for.
This has to be the best bluetooth headset I've owned...and I've owned several. I have tried the BlueAnt Z9, Motorola H12, Plantronics, 510, 520, 925, the original Jawbone...and a few others. This headset worked perfectly right from the start. I had no trouble pairing my Blackberry. Once paired, I could put my phone in my pocket, or move it around with absolutely NO static....something that has always happened with previous headsets. It was very easy to find a comfortable fit with the extra earhooks and earpieces. If you are in the market for a bluetooth headset, I would suggest you give this one a try...I don't think you will be sorry.

Jawbone 2, MUCH improvements to Jawbone 1
on May 21, 2008
Posted by: p51d007
I've used the original Jawbone since it was released, and loved it, so when the new jawbone 2
was released, I was eager to try it out.
The only difficulties that I had were with the ear hooks, trying to get a "good fit", and the charger.
Those issues have been taken care of with the Jawbone 2.
The earhooks are made of a stronger material, are covered in a leather looking material. For those with eyeglasses, they even come with a non covered version. The earbuds have also been changed.
Now, instead of the "place on give 1/2 twist" with the
old jawbone, the new ones simply "pop" on and off.
The material of the new ear buds, has also been changed. It is a much SOFTER material, makiing for a better more snug fit on the ear.
Actually, if you prefer not to use an earhook, you can remove it, and the jawbone 2 will stay put.
Using aftermarket earbuds should be no problem
either. I use an expensive jetsound custom
earbud, which is molded to fit your ear and it fits perfectly.
Now, for the important parts.
INCOMING sound is greatly improved.
With the original jawbone, paired to my Tilt, I had to keep the volume at the max setting, to hear.
With the new Jawbone, I can keep it at 1/2
level and hear everything perfectly.
No one has complained about the outgoing sound, so I would assume it is equal or better
than the original jawbone. Wind noise is a lot
better, because the placement of the microphones
is different. Depending on which ear you place
the jawbone two, the microphones will be on top or bottom, away from wind blowing at them.
Pairing is a snap, the first time you turn it on,
it is automatically in pairing mode.
If you have a jawbone, the connect/disconnect
button is similar. You simply find the spot and press. The "volume" button is similar, it is
at the back of the headset.
As for charging, one complaint that was addressed
is the charger connection to the jawbone.
Although it is still not a industry standard miniUSB, it is MUCH easier.
Now, the connection is done magnetically, similar to some Apple computers. Just get the power connector close to the jawbone 2, and it will snap
onto the headset.
I give the new Jawbone 5 of 5 because I can't give it a 4 & 1/2. The only "downside" I have is the
charger connector should be a mini usb, which would make it easier if you travel, not having to
tote around another cord.

I tried the Motorola H12 first. Different ones told me I sounded as if I was in a well when I was talking to them. Then I went to the Jawbone 2. It is lightweight. Everyone tells me
I sound normal when talking. It is has a background noise eliminator which is on by default, so that is great! Easy to use and charges in 50 minutes or less!
Has 8 day standby time. I'd definitely recommend it.

This is a great device, best on the market. But if you have the original Jawbone, don't bother upgrading unless you want the smaller size. Noise/quality wise these are identical.
