The Jawbone II is the second Bluetooth headset manufactured by Aliph. It is highly rated for its military grade and noise assassin ability. The Jawbone, unlike many of its competitors, claims to use the assassin technology to block all ambient background noises. Your callers will be able to hear you speak clearly regardless of any noisy surroundings. On their website, www.jawbone.com there is a visual demonstration of a woman wearing a Jawbone while a construction team plunges a jackhammer into the ground. It appears that hear caller is able to hear her clearly and has no complaints of the background noise.

The Jawbone is easy to use, it does exactly what it promises, and is small and compact. The only drawback that the Jawbone has is that the material in which it is designed from seems fragile. The device should be handled with extreme care. The ear loop or the part of the device that wraps around the backside of your ear is the most likely to break. It is made of a thin plastic that can literally snap into two pieces.

Let’s get back to the positives. The Jawbone is easy to use. It comes with an instruction manual and is pre-set to pair unlike the Jawbone I which required manual pairing. The Jawbone II works well with all phones according to Jawbone’s technical support team. The first Jawbone had a few issues with the Iphone and a few select models of Blackberry. The Jawbone II, if positioned appropriately will do what it promises. The noise assassin feature is automatically on, blocking out all background noise. I use my Jawbone all the time when I’m at work and the results are remarkable. I live in one of the nosiest cities in the country and even in New York City the Jawbone comes to the rescue.

The fact that it is so small and compact allows me to carry it throughout the day in my purse or briefcase. I hate heavy Bluetooth devices. The Jawbone II is light in weight and available in a number of colors. I happen to own the pink Jawbone which compliments my girly personality. The Jawbone II is priced at $129.99 comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Jawbone has a one year manufacture warranty and excellent customer service which is available until 11 p.m. EST.
