    The new Jawbone in black.
    Widely recognized as the best Bluetooth headset on the market, the new Jawbone is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone, offer over 4 hours of talk time, and comes with three earbuds and four earloops for a comfortable and personalized fit.

    Military-Grade NoiseAssassin Technology
    Developed over years of research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Jawbone's NoiseAssassin eliminates real world noise better than competing headset because it's the only hands free device that accurately separates human speech from ambient noise. Unmatched in its ability to remove noise from loud environments like busy streets, cars, crowded cafes, and airports, NoiseAssassin is comprised of two features unique to Jawbone: a patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) and proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a VAS that feels the speech vibrations from your jaw. This enables Jawbone to capture the distinct frequencies of your voice. Proprietary DSP algorithms work in concert with two powerful microphones and the VAS to accurately model surrounding noise and aggressively eliminate it from the conversation.

    Conventional "noise suppression" headsets do not have a Voice Activity Sensor and can only estimate when speech is occurring. This causes performance issues like voice distortion, especially in the presence background noise.

    Not Just a Headset, It's Earwear
    Made with premium materials like medical-grade plastic and fine leather, the new Jawbone with NoiseAssassin combines science and beauty in the most unassuming, yet richly detailed product. Every effort has been made to contain best in class noise suppression technology in a miniature form that is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone.

    The new Jawbone accomplishes a clean and sophisticated look thanks to invisible buttons. Touch-surface technology allows the user to operate switches by lightly pressing the outer shield. Curved and rectilinear to follow the face, the outer shield is lightly textured and inspired by three-dimensional noise abatement surfaces. The infer surface, the one touching your face and creating contact with the Voice Activity Sensor, is gently curved to be ergonomic and comfortable on your skin.

Customer Reviews:
  • Low Volume, Static
    Such a disappointment. I bought a blue tooth 2 1/2 yrs ago that was so much better than this one. I don't know what noise it's cancelling out, but it's certainly adding static. To make it loud enough to hear the person clearly you have to turn up the volume so high you hear a lot of static at the same time (and no, I don't have any hearing problems). And SHOPCELL sucks with their difficult return policy. Don't order anything from them unless you're sure it works well.
  • jawbone
    the jawbone does not cancel out ANY noise...people can still tell if i am in the car..or outside...it works like any other bluetooth...overpriced for what you get. callers can hear me very clear. that is the good thing, but for noise cancellation - not.
  • Loved it but went through the wash :(
    loved the this ear piece but it went through the wash 2 days ago very,very bummed just ordered the jawbone Prime hopefully it will be just as good if not better
  • Hard to keep in ear
    This thing is near imposable to keep to keep in my ear so I can hear it. I even got the Jabra eargels and no luck. I may have weird ears. Then when I try to push it in to hear I hang up on people most of the time.
  • Jawbone will not honor warranty
    My Jawbone failed after a month of use. They make you return it to the retailer if it fails, and the retailer will not honor the warranty. There is a reason they are so cheap here, the original retail price for these items was $140. Buy at your own risk!
