Jawbone 2 Bluetooth headset

Last month, we saw it passing the FCC hurdle, and now it’s here! It’s the Jawbone 2, not a headset but an earwear. Those are the words Aliph, the maker of the stylish headset uses, and they’re right on target. The new Jawbone headset rocks! It is 50% smaller than the original award-winning Jawbone, and features noise elimination technology (NoiseAssassin) that provides even better voice quality than the original in a smaller and more ergonomic package!

Jawbone’s NoiseAssassin technology literally feels your speech with its patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS). The Jawbone headset uses the VAS to distinguish the sound of your voice from ambient noise with incredible accuracy and then uses proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to subtract the noise so only the sound of your voice comes through.

Don’t know about you, but I’m sold. The Jawbone 2 is available for $129.99 at AT&T retail stores and at www.jawbone.com or www.wireless.att.com. Few more images, including size comparison of Jawbone 2 and the original Jawbone (from Gizmodo), follow after the jump.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
