Pros: Noise reduction actually works. Sleek design.
Cons: Pricey. Ear piece might take a while getting used to.
The Bottom Line: The best blue tooth head set out there. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Noise reduction makes conversation easy no matter where you are.

| wogerwabbit9's Full Review: |
I bought the Jawbone almost a year ago and I have been really happy with the headset. This is my 3rd blue tooth headset and before that I have used the good old-fashioned wired head sets while driving. I can confidently say this is by far the best headset I have had.
The Good stuff:
Noise Reduction: The noise reduction actually works on this device. If you wear it correctly, it modulates the volume to make sure the background noise does NOT take over the conversation. Another friend of mine has the same headset and I have talked to him while he is driving on the freeway and his voice has been clear. If we tried this with the older headsets, there would have been no way I could have heard him. The reason I say, (if you wear it correctly) is because the headset needs to touch your jaw or cheek when you wear it. It needs that proximity to detect that you are talking and to have the noise reduction work well. This is by far the best in noise reduction technology amongst all the head sets available right now in the market.
Sleek Look: There have been many times when I have been wearing the head set and people have told me it was a slick look or were surprised that it was a blue tooth head set. This was of course initially when it was released. Now there are a lot of people wearing this head set so you might not get the comments. But it still looks better than most head sets out there.
The Not-So-Good stuff:
Pricey: It is one of the more costly headsets you can buy. But you get what you pay for, so it might not be a bad bargain. I bought mine off new eBay for a decent mark down.
Ear Piece a tricky fit: This is a valid complaint that a lot of people have. The ear piece might be a little tricky to fit initially. It took me a little while to get used to getting it on and off without feeling that I will break it. But after a few weeks, it's ok. The provide you with different size and shapes for the ear pieces for different people. So it should not be too hard to figure out which one fits you best.
