Aliph Jawbone Prime: Less Noise, Lots of Loud Colors

Posted by Pete Paxton in "Smartphone News" @ 07:00 AM

"Mobile audio developer Aliph has announced its new Jawbone Prime noise-canceling Bluetooth headset, promising an order of magnitude improvement in noise reduction, plus a swath of fashionable colors to appeal to even the pickiest fashionistas. Aliph's original Jawbone headset was released about a year ago to solid reviews; the Jawbone Prime aims to improve on the original with improved noise reduction that takes out an additional 6 to 9 db of background noise while leaving the speaker's voice strong and clear."

I guess design and fashion is everywhere right down to our Bluetooth headsets. The Jawbone Prime sounds like it may have some great functionality as well as fashion. I'm pretty satisfied with my current Bluetooth headset but I can't say it's completely noise free. And $129.99 seems reasonable for quality and design. How about you? Happy with your current headset or do these look tempting?

Aliph Releases New Jawbone, Reviewed at iLounge

"Aliph's original Jawbone received one of the most difficult B ratings we ever issued to an accessory. Much hyped and unquestionably impressive from a technology standpoint, the first Jawbone was a wireless Bluetooth headset with breakthrough noise-cancellation abilities, but suffered from two serious issues: an uncomfortable design and a high price tag. Retailer discounting eventually helped solve one of those problems, and now Aliph has taken care of the other one in a brand new version with the same name: Jawbone ($130), known alternately as Jawbone Earwear or Jawbone with Noise Assassin. Simply put, the new Jawbone is the best Bluetooth headset we've yet tested with the iPhone -- the first one ever to receive our high recommendation -- and only two things stand in the way of it being a complete replacement for every other option we've seen."



That's a comparative picture from iLounge, who managed to get its hands on the device early and publish a full review. It looks like a significant improvement over the first; anyone thinking of picking one up, or have managed to get one?

Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth Headset Reviewed

"A new company called Aliph, has built their first offering around what they call Noise Shield technology. The idea is simple � the headset should only care about sound when the person is talking, which requires moving their mouth (and thus, the name "Jawbone" for their first device). The headset extends over the muscle that moves the jaw so that when the mouth moves, a small rubber piece moves. This acts as a switch that tells the headset, �Hey, there�s someone talking here!� Noise that occurs without the wearer moving their mouth is greatly diminished. Ventriloquists will want to look elsewhere."

I've heard some good things about this headset. I've used a number of different headsets over the years, and I keep coming back to a wired headset or this Motorola one I have. They're either too hard to put on quickly when the phone is ringing, or they sound like crap. So I'm wondering what you guys use? Is this one really as good as I've heard and read?
