Jawbone

Been a while my friends and I know that you have missed me…don’t fret! In my return, I am going to take a moment to recommend a piece of technology I have found to be extremely useful and live up to its hype. Lets paint the picture, you are walking down 5th Ave in midtown…you have just finished a strenuous hour of shopping and you want to talk with your friend on the phone about all the great things you just purchased. You hop on your Bluetooth headset because you have a caramel frappuccino in one hand and your bags in the other. But as you begin to tell her about your new Hermès bag, she says “What was that, I cannot hear you…too much background noise, I’ll talk to you later!” And you begin to think to yourself, how rude! Here you are, trying to take time out of your busy day to share and she has the nerve to excuse herself based on ambient noise. Well, let me tell you…take away all excuses with the Aliph Jawbone.

My girlfriend recently purchased the Blackberry 8830 (best phone ever for Verizon…the new 8820 with wifi and out-of-the-box built in GPS will be the sicker one to own) for me, for my birthday, and it is such a good phone that it picks up “EVERYTHING” in the background. It loves ambient noise…great speaker phone, but the ambient noise is a problem. A friend of mine has spoken to me with it when he is on the train and I consistently hear the conversations of the people around him more than him. I needed to find a solution because I was not about to give up the best phone I have had in my life, just because of rudeness from friends. After research through reviews, the Jawbone is as advertised. Yes, I knew about it before the iPhone (great marketing, because wireless companies sell Bluetooth headsets in packages with the phone, but why not sell the best Bluetooth to confuse the buyer they are getting the best phone too).

I have had strangers in the street ask me about the headset and I always tell them, of all the Bluetooth headsets, it is the best one I have owned. Now, let me not mislead you into believing that this removes all the noise around you…we have not gotten there yet! But it does do noise cancellation (something I think no other headset company claimed their product could do and actually did). I have been in noisy cars, walking in the street and people still say they can hear me. I must say that they sound low, not as loud as I would like, but I think that is the 8830 not the headset. Either way if you are looking for a headset that lends no excuses to others hanging-up, other than pure disgust out of jealously…now you can add to their envy with your new noise cancelling Aliph Jawbone!

I purchased mine from here in silver: click! They come in black and red as well…any questions, you know where to reach me. Try my web bottom “Call Me” to the right and speak with me directly. They way of the future…I will speak on this web button in a later post but for now enjoy the video from Aliph below that explains exactly what happens!
