Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining ergonomic modern design with the latest in noise suppression technology, the Jawbone PRIME Bluetooth headset eliminates real world noise better than any other headset--even better than its predecessor, the Jawbone 2--thanks to the improved NoiseAssassin 2.0 technology. The Jawbone PRIME can handle wind up to 10 mph, enabling you to have intelligible conversations while maintaining the natural sound of the your voice.

The Jawbone PRIME in platinum silver.

The PRIME headset features a unique undulating texture, crafted with high precision in 3-D to reflect the light and give a sense of movement to the exterior surfaces. The design has also been enhanced by a slight indication in the shield's texture, a small tactile crease that indicates where the switch is located. The inside contour of the PRIME follows the curve of your face comfortably. And with three round Earbuds, three New Fit Earbuds and an optional earloop, you can choose what works best for your individual ear.

The Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) on the interior curve of the Jawbone PRIME.

The Jawbone PRIME includes Multipoint functionality and can be simultaneously connected to two Bluetooth enabled devices. To charge the PRIME's internal battery, you can use the included AC wall charger, or plug the USB cable into your computer (full charge takes approximately 50 minutes).

The Science Behind Jawbone PRIME

Originally developed for use in tanks and helicopters, Jawbone PRIME's NoiseAssassin is a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguish your voice from background noise. The NoiseAssassin 2.0 technology embedded in the PRIME delivers an order of magnitude improvement in the noisiest environments (6 to 9dB) extracting even more noise while keeping the user's voice natural.

The 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Dissapointment, July 15, 2009

After reading a couple of review and looking around on the Jawbone website it looked like this was one of the better bluetooth headsets out there. Impressed with the technology and hoping that the price was indicative of the quality I was sorely dissapointed.

First of all I had problem with the battery and had to return the first Jawbone Prime I got but even with a decent battery life the sound quality is dismal at best. The noise assasin works SO well it even cuts out my speech, people tell me my voice cuts in and out. I couldn't beleive it as I didn't find any bad reviews out there so I tested it in various conditions by leaving myself voicemails in different situation.

In a quiet environment (indoors at home) my voice sounds thin and metallic but I can hear all the words clearly. One minus - I can hear footstep sounds as I walkaround on hardwood floors!

Outdoors - this is really where it dissapoints. After seeing the demonstration on the website I had expectations that I can hear myself walking through a construction site. After all this was the reason why I forked out the extra $$ - to use it in noisy locations including public transport but what I found was that this was on par or worse that cheap no-name bluetooth headsest. I have to admit that the noise assissin cuts out or at least jumbles up background noise so that I cannot make out any background noise eg sound of car horns, buses passing by etc. But at the same time my speech is also distorted and cuts in and out so much that it is hard to make out sentences.

I'm not sure if this is a dud and but I have had this problem with 2 Jawbone prime headsets. I had problems with the first set so changed it for a new one but the sound quality has not changed much. Is it possible that this one is also a dud? I'm intesrested to hear feedback from other people.

5.0 out of 5 stars BlueTooth that Works!, July 16, 2009

Over the years I've purchased, and returned, 5 BlueTooth headsets. They were uncomfortable and the sound quality horrible. I tried the JawBone Prime based on a friend's recommendation. It's terrific! Great sound quality and noise cancelling (people can't tell I'm in the car). Plus, it's very comfortable thanks to the multiple earbuds and ear piece.

Quality seems good although I'm having a little trouble getting used to the imbedded buttons.

I had a little trouble pairing it with my phone, Blackberry and Skype, but that's because the instructions weren't clear. If you hit the Talk and the Noise Cancelling buttons at the same time (instead of Talk for 2 seconds) it will pair with no problem. I got that from the web site.

More as I continue to use it.

I've been so happy with the Jawbone Prime. It blocks out background noise when I'm talking on it.
