Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth Headset (Grey) [Bulk/Generic Packaging] Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Awful
Comment: What a piece of junk. It's true I can hear well through it and that others say they can hear me well through it, but where it absolutely fails is in voice recognition with my Motorola Razr. I press the button and say, for instance, "Call Pat Moore" and it comes back with "Did you say, 'Call Yee Dental Center'?" (and then two other choices, none of which sound ANYTHING like Pat Moore). It's absolutely useless as a hands-free dial device in the car (required by law now in California). I hate it. I've tried it for a month and I'm throwing it away it's so bad. Don't waste your hard-earned money on this. (It also looks like cheap plastic in person, not like it looks in online pictures, and worse still, it seems really flimsy. Worst of all, there's no cigarette lighter charger for the car, which is the only place I use this, so I have to bring it in and charge it. That's just plain stupid.)

Summary: Jawbone arrived used and broken - total waste of money
Comment: The product arrived with its silver coating worn on the edges - the unit is not metal as it appears, but a flimsy plastic cover. As soon as I plugged it into the charger, the plastic charge-receptor started to pull off and expose the internal wiring. Perhaps this was a returned unit, but for $70.00 I expected much better quality control. Additionally, the unit is heavy and unwieldy when attached to your ear - I returned this headset and am looking for a replacement.

Summary: Don't take my word for it....
Comment: This is the first Bluetooth headset I've tried so I have nothing to compare it to. I will say, however, that I am very satisfied with it's performance. The noise shield seems to work well, maybe not as well as they would have you believe, but people seem to have no trouble hearing me while I'm in my Jeep with the top down. The battery life is more than enough for my purposes. The ear fit is a little tricky. I use it in my left ear and there doesn't seem to be a perfect fit combination, which is a complaint I read when researching it. All I can say is: I like it, but I wouldn't pay full price for it, but then again I don't buy anything at full price....

Summary: Good technology. Useabilty is an issue.
Comment: They had a world class usability expert help design it. How could they have screwed up so badly. Love the technology. It's the clearest wireless earpiece I've ever used. Yes. Clear even with the windows down on the freeway. It's so good, I overlook the obvious pain it takes to use it. I don't get the why behind the propriety recharging hookup, mini-usb would have worked fine... instead we got...

And, TWO buttons? Getting the bluetooth to synch is never an easy task with my RAZR. I won't get started on the documentation which instructs you to turn the device off before trying to synch it. How's that again? I love my jawbone, but they'll need to do some work before I buy another.

Summary: Excellent Bluetooth
Comment: I read all the consumer reviews on Bluetooth, and the jawbone was the clear leader. It performs excellently. The noise reduction is so good, when I tell people I am on a bluetooth, they don't believe it. It doesn't look too durable, i.e. lightweight plastic, so who knows how long it will last. My only gripe is that it seems a little pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for.
