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.
Amazon.com Product Description
Setting new standards for mobile voice clarity and personal style, the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset by Aliph represents a complete departure from the gadgetry of the mobile headset industry. Originally developed for military use in extreme environments, Jawbone features NoiseAssassin--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 new Jawbone in black. |  |  | Widely recognized as the best Bluetooth headset on the market, the new Jawbone is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone, offer over 4 hours of talk time, and comes with three earbuds and four earloops for a comfortable and personalized fit. Military-Grade NoiseAssassin Technology
Developed over years of research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Jawbone's NoiseAssassin eliminates real world noise better than competing headset because it's the only hands free device that accurately separates human speech from ambient noise. Unmatched in its ability to remove noise from loud environments like busy streets, cars, crowded cafes, and airports, NoiseAssassin is comprised of two features unique to Jawbone: a patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) and proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a VAS that feels the speech vibrations from your jaw. This enables Jawbone to capture the distinct frequencies of your voice. Proprietary DSP algorithms work in concert with two powerful microphones and the VAS to accurately model surrounding noise and aggressively eliminate it from the conversation. Conventional "noise suppression" headsets do not have a Voice Activity Sensor and can only estimate when speech is occurring. This causes performance issues like voice distortion, especially in the presence background noise. Not Just a Headset, It's Earwear
Made with premium materials like medical-grade plastic and fine leather, the new Jawbone with NoiseAssassin combines science and beauty in the most unassuming, yet richly detailed product. Every effort has been made to contain best in class noise suppression technology in a miniature form that is 50 percent smaller than the original, award-winning Jawbone. The new Jawbone accomplishes a clean and sophisticated look thanks to invisible buttons. Touch-surface technology allows the user to operate switches by lightly pressing the outer shield. Curved and rectilinear to follow the face, the outer shield is lightly textured and inspired by three-dimensional noise abatement surfaces. The infer surface, the one touching your face and creating contact with the Voice Activity Sensor, is gently curved to be ergonomic and comfortable on your skin. Offering a comfortable and personalized fit, the new Jawbone comes with three sizes of earbuds and four earloops--two sizes of leather and two of slim, which are ideal for use with eyeglasses. Jawbone can also be worn on either ear and with or without an earloop. Specifications

 Very disappointed January 4, 2009
I was happy to receive this as a Christmas present, but very disappointed in the quality and customer service. I was able to pair it with my cell phone, but with very poor quality service. I followed the 'reset' and 're-pair' instructions they provided with no improvement. I was able to communicate with their customer service, but was really unhappy with the response as it was kind of arrogant. My advice is to purchase a Motorola as this is a very poor performing product.
Good product January 4, 2009

Voice quality is very good. Functions on the this device are hard to get use to.
 Excellent Piece of Technology January 1, 2009

To give you an idea of the type of user I am; I have owned two previous headsets from Jabra and have been pretty disappointed with the sound quality. Though I wouldn't consider myself a super techno savy person, I do understand a lot about it and do enjoy staying up to speed on the newest gadgets. So here is my initial review of the jawbone.
I was recommended this headset from a co-worker who tried it out and said it was great. So I read some reviews and then decided to purchase it. There were two reasons; 1: I was tired of holding the phone to my head on long conversations and when driving, 2: I needed to block out the ambient noise from what seems to be my over sensitive microphone on my phone.
I continued to read reviews while it was being shipped and got nervous from reading all the negative reviews about the poor sound quality and that it didn't fit correctly. When my Jawbone came, I wasn't sure how I would like it. I opened it and tried it out right away. Let me tell you, all the noise of the cars and firetrucks rushing by my condo window were cut out, no more banging dishes, rustling of plastic bags, cats meowing, or roommates yelling, made it through to the other side of the line. This technology is amazing!
I can see how fit could become an issue but for me the fit is great. I think the device has enough ways to adjust it that it should fit MOST people. Either that or I have a "normal" face. The device is so light that I don't feel it touching my face and I sometimes forget I have it on. In the end, I am extremely happy with this piece of technology and would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for similar features.
this is filled with design flaws January 1, 2009

this jawbone is filled with design flaw
1. placement of connect/disconnect button where every time you adjust the head set it gets pressed disconnecting the active call
2. ear loops are not flexible to fit perfectly around my ears hence it keep loosening and eventually falling off(even with all the custom sizes acc..)
3. earloops are made of plastic and is designed to break easily leaving the own with no choice but to buy the earloop (very bad ethics)
4.leather loops are worthless it collects sweat and becomes sogy
who ever designed and approved this product didn't do a full analysis of the design before sending it in for production
 Good fit, excellent audio quality, beautiful design December 31, 2008
The fit is great, its comes with 3 in ear rubber size pieces, and 3 ear loop sizes. The in ear rubbers work fine, but they are extremely perfectly comfortable after an hour or more. i'm testing their new beta ear peices and its much softer on the ear! So hopefully they go mass production with that.
Sound quality is GREAT! I bought two, one was perfect, but I lost it. The second was great but had some underwater noise on the other end, I called Jawbone support and they shipped me a new one no questions asked. This replacement was perfect on audio quality. I can have my windows down in up to around 40mph and people can still hear me clearly and not really hear the background noise. I was near a construction zone and my gf couldn't hear the noise.
Great size and style, definitely a beautiful look.
