The best noise cancelation feature in a bluetooth. When I drive with the windows down on the highway, people can barely tell (in most cases) that the window noise is there. Nice fit, beautiful look.

Thanks for the information. I agree on the ear pieces. I was thrilled to find a completely custom earpiece at a great price . Never had anything better!

I had the original jawbone and loved it, then the jaw2 came along. I tried for months to get the jaw2 to fit right, they even sent me the prototype ones from the prime. But I still had too many complaints on voice quality. Before the prime came out I asked them if I could give them back the jaw2 and some cash to try the prime as the jaw2 was an expensive failure for me. They wouldn't go for it and said I should just pay full price for the prime.
So I was a bit disgruntled and glued together one of my broken original jaws and used that until I saw the review on the plantronics pro which upstaged even the Prime in reviews.
I've been thrilled with the Pro, crystal clear sound quality just not as good of sound suppression. They lost me as a customer and the jaw2 was my 4th one. I've given the jaw2 to the gal to see if it works better for her.

I love my jawbone bluetooth head set, it's one of the finest products I have ever bought! It works great, the sound quality is amazing, and its extremely comfortable. I found a great deal on one at http://www.BuyJawboneBluetooth.com

Hi Mark, I am looking at the box, but it just says, “Jabra EarGels.” I am using the clear ones available here: http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-1202-EarGels-Clear/...

Note: the fit of the eargels on the jawbone 2 headset is not perfect, but I find it acceptable. Since the eargels only cost a couple bucks, it is worth giving them a try. I never was able to get a good fit from the ear-hook so I use the eargels daily.

@Beth, I know I am repeating myself here, but just make sure the headset is turned OFF before trying to pair it. I had the darnedest time trying to get it to pair and the instructions do not mention this until the overview on a separate page (if I remember correctly). Then just hold down the two buttons for a 2 secords and release. The headset should blink alternating red and white, and you are ready to pair with your phone.

Hope it works for you!

i’ve tried to re-pair the aliph2 with a different phone. and nothing that you’ve mentioned work. It paired fine the first time w/ my Motorola silvr L6, however, when i tried to reset and re-pair with Motorola Slvr L7, it wouldn’t work. I tried putting it in the cradle while holding down the talk button, and releasing while it was on the cradle, and then removing and pushing the talk button again. There is no flashing red and white light. it was Red and then White and then blinked Red, Red, Red, so on….. any help would greatly be appreciated. Email me back at bethta@gmail.com

If you put it in your pocket, it will turn off 9 out of 10 times. I made a sheath out of a small leather reading glasses case. It grips it on the sides and keeps the button from being pushed off. This has been my major issue.

To reset the headset (a procedure not detailed in the contained literature), you need to hold the center button while attaching the unit to the charging cord without power to the cord. Release the button when the charger cradle attaches. Remove the cord and puch the center button to turn on the unit. If it was reset, it will start in pairing mode. Several owners have reported issues which are resolved by resetting and re-pairing the unit with their phones.

I really like the Jawbone 2. It is considerably smaller and lighter than Jawbone 1. My preferred method of wearing it is using the Jawbra ear gels and no ear hook. I could never get the ear hooks to put the headset where I wanted it. So the weight of the entire unit is in my ear. The lighter weight of the Jawbone 2 is noticeable.

Regarding the button being easier to push (both pro and con), I have gotten used to this and I have had only one additional accident with it. But I have gotten used to the greater button sensitivity (the Jawbone 1 really had a very hard to push button). I can easily take a call but pressing the button on the headset, which before, I normally activated via the phone.

It mostly comes down to money. The Jawbone 2 is still around USD$120 while the Jawbone 1 is around half that on Amazon. If you want the “newest and best,” go for the Jawbone 2. If you want “nearly as good,” and having “last year’s model” does not bother you when you have an extra $60 in your pocket, go with the Jawbone 1.

Thanks anyways,

Interesting, I was looking to get one as the end of my v.1 is broke just for the reason you stated. I was also going to use the ear loop from v.1 on v.2 as you suggested.
