Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth headset

With a stylish design, great voice quality both receiving and making calls and an easy setup there is little to fault with the Aliph Jawbone 2. Top marks.

Jawbone Communication : Aliph Jawbone 2

Hands-free mobile communication is becoming a more popular judging by the number of people who appear to be talking to themselves as I walk past. Sometimes I feel tempted to join in the conversation.

While you may consider a jawbone to be part of your skull, Aliph, a market leader in noise cancelling Bluetooth headsets, prefers to regard the Jawbone (note the capital letter) as “earwear”. In other words the Jawbone is an ear-piece style headset...

Aliph Jawbone 2 review

When Aliph released the first Jawbone Bluetooth headset two years ago, it became CNET's highest rated Bluetooth headset because of its amazing sound quality and eye-catching design. Many of our readers agreed with our assessment, but there were two big...

The Aliph Jawbone 2 is a fashionable Bluetooth headset with a comfortable fit and an array of noise-canceling and voice-enhancement technologies that result in amazing sound quality.

The Aliph Jawbone 2 doesn't have a volume rocker, and the LED light is located directly on top of the Talk button.

Despite its quirks, the Aliph Jawbone 2 is quite possibly the ultimate Bluetooth headset in terms of design and sound quality.

Aliph Jawbone 2 Review

When it comes to Bluetooth headsets, there is one that has become synonymous with comfort, clarity and wining design: Jawbone by Aliph ($79.95; see original review here). Released 2

Very light and slick looking, Most comfortable headset to date?, Very good noise cancellation, Simple charger and minimalist design

Not enough features, Buttons awkward to use, Force reconnect not adequate, Expensive

That's a huge drop in weight and indeed this device is about 50% smaller than the original. Not bad at all. The only downside so far is that talk time is cut down by 2 hours, which for some is significant

Aliph Jawbone 2

My only gripe at that time was with the size and "comfort" of the Jawbone. It was big (relative to the Z9 and other headsets) and tricky to find a comfortable fit while wearing glasses. Well, now the Jawbone2 comes along and the first thought that many...

The new Jawbone is available today for $129.99 at AT&T retail stores nationwide and online at www.jawbone.com and www.wireless.att.com. Available initially in matte black, it will be coming soon in silver and rose gold.

This is the best headset I have ever tested. If there is a better headset on the market, I haven't heard about it. It is expensive, and it is exclusively at AT&T stores (for now) but it is worth the money and the trip to the store. The design is...

Aliph Jawbone 2

The Jawbone 2 is here, and Aliph has fixed the issues that plagued the original.

The first Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset impressed the critics at CNET so much that they gave it an Editors’ Choice award, and now that the sequel has dropped into our hot little hands, we’re going to have to place it right along with its older...
