OK so we all like mobile devices, and part of that is being interested in new accessories that come to market. Sometimes they create their own genres, and sometimes they don’t. Let’s take the good old Bluetooth headset – very poor in it’s original incarnations, but these days they are pretty good.
Well Jawbone has come to market with the Jawbone Prime (being e-tailed by MobileFun), and it’s supposedly got some pretty darn good tech on-board – which does carry a bit of a premium!
By my reckoning it could be twice as expensive as a standard headset, but read below and see what you think:
Noise Assasin 2.0.
Jawbone has been able to eliminate real world noise better than any other headset because it is the only headset that can accurately separate speech from ambient noise.
Jawbone PRIME has even better background noise elimination than the previous generations. NoiseAssasin™ 2.0 delivers an order of magnitude improvement in the noisiest environments (6 to 9dB) extracting even more noise while keeping the user’s voice natural.
AVAD.
Acoustic Voice Activity Detector (AVAD) provides a fail-safe mechanism when the Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) doesn’t touch your face. When the VAS is not touching the face, Jawbone PRIME performs as good as or better than any other noise cancelling headset. When the VAS touches the face, you get the turbo-boost to the NoiseAssassin performance.
Works in the wind.
After solving NoiseAssassination in the most severe noise environments, Aliph focused its engineers on the task of eliminating the impact wind has on speech. With their strong background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques, the Aliph team developed a unique all digital Sensor Signal Fusion system to reduce wind noise.`
For me though, the killer feature of the headset is the fact that it’s multipoint, which means that if you have 2 phones then you can connect it up to the headset and whichever phone rings it will answer. This is a brilliant feature if you have a personal phone and business phone.
So what do we think? Is £89.95 reasonable?
