The second one I got (the first was missing parts) came apart when I tried to unplug it from the charging cable. This headset works pretty well with good noise canceling, but it won't stay attached to my ear so the part that rests on my face loses contact. Jawbone does not seem to offer any other buds (not even spares) so I just ordered some Acoustibuds in the hope that I can actually use it. At most it will stay on my head for 10 minutes. I find myself repeatedly twisting the thing back into place. If they don't work I will try a hack I saw with a Jabra eargels product - that involves cutting up the supplied earbuds and gluing the eargels to the locking piece. I will update this review once I get it to work (or not)
The Jawbone's minimal range in volume control made it impossible to find a comfortable setting.Overall, buying the Jawbone was a big mistake. This worked well, but maybe too well.
People on the other end of the phone could hear my car radio, wind noise, etc. I even tried to press the bluetooth next to my face to get a good fit.
Unfortunately, the military-grade sound cancellation feature didn't work as advertised. I switched out the ear buds with Jabra ear gels.
The noise cancellation still didn't work. Additionally, the sound quality was poor when using the ear buds that came in the package.
The sound went from being very low to excruciatingly high. I never write reviews online, but the product was so bad that I was forced to.
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.
The battery life is more than enough for my purposes. This is the first Bluetooth headset I've tried so I have nothing to compare it to. The ear fit is a little tricky. 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. 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.
Love the technology. instead we got. They had a world class usability expert help design it. Clear even with the windows down on the freeway. How's that again. It's the clearest wireless earpiece I've ever used. I don't get the why behind the propriety recharging hookup, mini-usb would have worked fine.
Getting the bluetooth to synch is never an easy task with my RAZR. How could they have screwed up so badly. And, TWO buttons. Yes. It's so good, I overlook the obvious pain it takes to use it. I won't get started on the documentation which instructs you to turn the device off before trying to synch it. I love my jawbone, but they'll need to do some work before I buy another.
