Jabra STONE

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:48:28 -0500

Jabra's STONE is a new Bluetooth earpiece with an elegant design and attractive features. Unlike the Jawbone and Plantronics Voyager before, which have an extended boom that lays on the cheek – the Jabra STONE has no boom but instead it utilizes DSP technology and Noise Blackout Extreme to increase not only the phonics that can be heard to the person calling you but also for upgraded noise elimination. The Jabra Stone is very lightweight (only .25 ounces) and it can easily be slipped into a pocket or purse making it super portable. The headset features a touch volume control. Another useful feature is the ability to connect two Bluetooth enabled devices at the same time with “Multiuse capabilities.” The headset can also stream music from A2DP compatible mobile phones. The only downside found with the Jabra STONE is that those with bigger ears might enjoy it more. Since the earclip is not adjustable, it might keep falling out of small ears. This is a headset fit for a specific size of ear.

Features:

Ground-breaking headset design and shape
Portable Jabra STONE Charger enables charging on the go and serves as a holder and charger in down time
Cutting edge technology including Noise Blackout Extreme

Aliph Jawbone II

Thu, 15 May 2008 13:16:32 -0400

Aliph's Jawbone is a noise canceling Bluetooth headset that uses technology developed for the United States military. A new Jawbone was released May 15th, 2008, replacing the existing model with a smaller formfactor (smaller by 50%) and improved noise canceling design. Jawbone's technology is called NoiseAssassin and works to actively measure the ambient noise in the environment and filter them out so you better hear the person on the other end. At the same time the voice-activated sensor that measures vibrations from your jawbone (hence the name) identifies and amplifies your voice so that your voice is clear while talking.

One of the standout features of the Jawbone is its stylish and unique design. Two buttons are hidden on the outside of the headset, one that is located on the perforated surface, and the other located as the black piece of plastic. The perforated button is used for turning the Jawbone on and off, answering/ending calls, redialing, and transferring a call from headset to handset and back. The black button is the Noise Shield that turns toggles noise canceling activation, rejects a call, or adjusts the Jawbone's volume. The headset itself will automatically adjust the volume of your voice, however there are five different volume settings available for more control.

Customized Fit Options

The Jawbone aims to fit perfectly on either ear and comes with a variety of options for a proper fit.

3 sizes of earbuds
4 earloop options
2 sizes of leather earloops
2 sizes of slim earloops to be used with glasses

Features

Weight: 10 grams
Talk Time: 4 hours
Standby Time: 8 days
Range: Up to 33 feet (10 meters)
Charge: 80% charge in 35 minutes, 100% charge in 1 hour
Supports Bluetooth 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0

The battery life has been reduced from the previous model from 6 hours of talk time to 4 hours, although the new model has a fast-charge battery that can be 80% charged in just 35 minutes. The headset can be charged through USB on your computer or with an included AC adapter.
