Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Jawbone ICON is equipped with military-grade NoiseAssassin 2.5 with wind reduction, the best noise cancellation technology that money can buy. Originally developed for use by tank commanders and helicopter pilots, NoiseAssassin is a proprietary technology that eliminates unwanted background noise when you talk on the phone. It gives you the freedom to enjoy quiet phone conversations in places you previously couldn't. Jawbone headsets are the only Bluetooth headsets with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that literally feels your speech vibrations. As a result, Jawbone ICON delivers unmatched speech quality and eliminates virtually all background noise.

See a comparison between the Jawbone ICON and its siblings, the Jawbone 2 and Jawbone Prime, and check out how to wear the Jawbone ICON for the best fit and to optimize use of the VAS.

The Jawbone ICON Series Bombshell in Gold.

Listen to Music and More

Jawbone ICON gives you the freedom to listen all your audio--music, podcasts, video, driving directions, games, apps, and more--wirelessly through your headset from any A2DP-enabled Bluetooth device. ICON also gives you the ability to seamlessly answer incoming calls without the hassle of removing your headphones, getting tangled in cable or turning down the volume on your speakers. It's the best, most convenient way to enjoy all your audio and calls in one place.

 

Get Apps and Updates Via MyTALK

Unlike any other Bluetooth headset, Jawbone ICON is intelligent and updatable, which means that ICON only gets better with time. How? Thanks to MyTALK, our free, one-of-a-kind platform that lets you try different apps, personalize settings and download the latest and greatest features and software updates. Just sign into MyTALK, plug in your headset and sync whatever apps and updates you want

Keep Tabs On Battery Life

It's annoying to run out of juice. That's why we've made it super easy to ensure that your Jawbone ICON is always juiced up and ready to go. First, you'll love the convenience of having a Jawbone battery meter displayed in the status bar of your iPhone or BlackBerry. Second, when you press the TALK button on your Jawbone ICON, your ICON will tell you exactly how much battery life you have left: "About 4 hours of talk time remaining". Finally, when your battery is running low, you'll hear automatic alerts whispered in your ear.

Connect To Multiple Devices

Simultaneous Multipoint gives you the flexibility to manage audio and calls from two different phones or Bluetooth devices at the same time. With the press of a button on your Jawbone ICON, you can switch between calls on your personal and work phones. You can also stream wireless tunes from your computer to your Jawbone ICON and seamlessly answer incoming calls without touching your mobile phone. Jawbone ICON is the perfect way to enjoy all your mobile devices and stay connected.

Find The Perfect Fit

It's important to feel comfortable and secure when wearing a headset. That's why Jawbone ICON comes with an impressive selection of earbud and earloop combinations to ensure a great fit. ICON is also designed to be smaller, lighter and hug the contours of your face, which means it's the best fitting Jawbone yet. You'll probably forget that you're even wearing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bluetooth earbug I have had!, June 8, 2010

By

This review is from: Jawbone ICON Series Bombshell Bluetooth Headset (Gold) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This was a much appreciated birthday gift last month. (Many thanks to my wife!) I believed it would be great based on talking with several friends who use various Jawbone models. Even so, I am very impressed. People I talk to using this like the clarity of sound, even when I am in a very noisy environment.

Because I know a number of other people who use Jawbone models, I already knew about the sensor stud near the front that has to be in contact with your cheek for proper noise cancellation operation. When it is placed properly, the noise cancellation is phenomenal. Voice clarity is (I have been told) like standing next to the person in a quiet room. My wife noticed the difference the first time I talked to her using it. During Memorial Day weekend in Washington DC, I was using the phone and the Jawbone Icon to talk to a friend in Florida, and she had little trouble hearing me clearly. What makes that unusual is that I was standing next to a road as the Rolling Thunder motorcycle parade was going by! She could hear that there were motorcycles, of course, but without the noise cancelling she would not have been able to hear my voice at all.

The Icon comes with a wide assortment of arrangements to try for fitting to your ear. Once you find the correct size and style for you, the comfort is tolerable - but I am seriously considering a molded gel from Jabra or a custom house. With a "normal" earbug it would not be much of a problem, but the Jawbone devices have that sensor stud that must stay against your cheek...

This is third Bluetooth earbug I have owned - and it's successors will most likely be Jawbone models. The first was a cheap Motorola model that was not very good, but was purchased only as a personal test, anyway. The second was a Plantronics model that served very well for several years (until it pulled a vanishing act), but was not very usable in windy or noisy environments.

Comes with: seven (7) ear adapters, one loop to go over ear, AC charger, instructions. Users can register on a web site that enables firmware updates over the Internet.

Pro: excellent sound quality for the person you are talking to, when properly fitted. On/Off sliding switch that is close to impossible to actuate accidentally.

Con: Some users may need custom ear inserts. Connector (for charger & computer) is micro-USB, which can be hard to see and use for those of us with eyes more than six decades old. Noise cancellation depends strongly on proper wearing of the device.

Based on my use, I highly recommend the Jawbone Icon models. I am sure that other Jawbone models would be excellent as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty cool, March 22, 2010

the sound quality is great, it works right out of the box, and it looks awesome. The earpiece itself is probably smaller than you think; on my computer screen the picture on amazon is BIGGER than life-size. I haven't tried the advanced features yet but I'll post an update when I do.

I really like this earpiece and I am glad that I bought it. I do find that people sometimes have a hard time understanding me, so I will turn it up and then it is too loud in my ear. It does get very loud! However, overall, this is a great product. It has a long charge time, it looks nice and the sound quality compared to other headsets is great.
