Product Description

The Jawbone 2 is the next step in the integration of best-in-class noise elimination technology with personal design that is both humanistic and minimal. It has powerful noise suppression algorithms for use in the most extreme acoustic noise environments including battlefields and helicopters. The algorithms use Jawbone's two microphones and the VAS (Voice Activity Sensor) to accurately model the noise environment. Jawbone detects when and how a person is speaking, models the noise, and aggressively eliminates it. Conventional "noise eliminating" headsets do not have the VAS and can only estimate when speech is occurring with software-based Voice Activation Detection (VAD) systems. For these systems to work, the speech must be significantly louder or spectrally different from the noise. These systems fail in loud environments or in the presence of other people's speech. Furthermore, because they can't accurately identify the speech signals, they distort the speech in the process of attempting to eliminate the noise. The result of this distortion is a significant degradation in intelligibility and quality in order to achieve a perceptual reduction in noise.

1.0 out of 5 stars skip version 2, find version 1, August 24, 2008

Oh goodness.. what a rip, 140 bux at best buy and not very good. I have V1, but my charger was lost, and best buy only had v2, which the charger doesn't match. So I bought the V2, paid 140 plus tax (a month earlier v1 was 119 at Best buy) but i was desperate. The thing has horrible reception. not sure if it is the terrible ear holder. No matter what it won't stay in the ear, and often tries to slide right off the ear. To top it off, it goes in and out of clear reception. my friends hate it, and loved v1 where I never had one problem, yes it is 1/8" wider, but who cares? the darn thing worked

I just bought this blue tooth earphone. It was very easy to set up, and it works great! The sound is clear, and the volume is adjustable. It is easy to replace the ear loops to ensure comfortable. I would definitely recommend this one!

The ear piece doesn't fit properly the jawbone does not touch my face at all. It continuously falls out even when I changed inner ear adapters. I am thoroughly disappointed.
