Jawbone 2 : My Official Hands On

Who would've thought I would ha
ve the Jawbone 2 right now. Well, it all only happened by inconvinience and a good discount.

I have always been a fan of Cnet and products that have the editor's pick. Honestly, it feels great to know you have a product that was an editors pick by researching but there are always those that run by the store and pick an item just because it's their favorite color.







Sound
The sound quality is great. I made sure to turn Echo off on my Blackberry so there would be no conflicts with noise cancellation. Also, people on the other line can hear me clearly. I'm a person that hates to repeat things and that is something that I heaven't had to do. I have done my sound test also. I have two 12 inch speakers in my car with two tweerters beside my head. One day I was driving and I decided to turn it up to a point that a regular headset would not perform. The user on the other line heard me just fine and they didn't know I had music on. T
hat sold me that the Jawbone 2 is the ultimate headset for sound cancellation.


Features
The Jawbone has a few features that I should add but not a long list. When the headset is turned on, the Noise Assasin is automatically on so it is best to use all the time. Another feature that I like that my BlueAnts have had is that ability to turn off the blinking light. It's great for when in dark quiet places like the movie theatre. One feature that I do miss from my Blue Ant Z9 is the shirt clip. Most bluetooths don't come with that option but they atleast come with a lanyard hoop so if you want to take it off, keep it somewhere safe. I can say that I truely miss my volume rocker from other headsets. It uses the volume options from your cell phone but you can also turn it up and down using only one button. It's just that some headsets that I have had have the rocker and it makes the volume go higher than the phone would.

Design
The design is really sleek but I felt like something was still missing....buttons The Jawbone 2 has 2 buttons. Both are hidden so no one can see. There is one button that handle's Noise Assaisin/Volume and one for Answer and hand up. Looking at it made me think it would be hard to distinguish the two but it really wasn't. The nice diamond design and leather hook helps this headset look good for any executive but for plain old Sam, he'll have to get used to quality at its बी

Feel
Even though it may look a tiny bit bulky it was the very lightest on my ear. One complaint I do have is that there are times it may hang out of my ear a bit but my ear may be larger or smaller than others.




All together this headset is the best. Thought it is not for everyone it is without a doubt the easiest to use.
