Jawbones new headset is a lot thinner than the previous version, and a lot more comfortable too. I have been using it for nearly 2 and a half weeks and I have been happy with it.

As I said in the unboxing post, I became a fan of Jawbone when the original first came out, because it literally was the best Bluetooth headset on the market. It was also probably the biggest.  But time has changed and the Jawbone has shed some weight.

It’s new thinner self still has that sleek elegant design the original had just a bit more compact, I actually prefer the thinner versions look over the bigger original, however my friend John prefers the bigger one.

Since the new Jawbone is so much smaller than the original and so much lighter in weight it is very comfortable on your ear, and at times it doesn’t even feel like it is there. With the original Jawbone my inner ear would sometimes begin to hurt, but I don’t have that problem with the new Jawbone.

But smaller doesn’t necessarily mean not as good as the original, because if may even be better.

To put the noise cancelation technology which is the same as the original to the test, I hoped onto an elevated Subway train here in NYC and while the train rolled down the tracking making its infamous clickity clack sound, I spoke with my mom and a few of my friends and none of them complained about not being able to hear me.

Nor was I complaining that I could not hear them, they came in loud and clear, I also didn’t feel as if I needed to raise my voice for them to hear me.

So why is it called a Jawbone? It is a rather easy explanation. It’s called Jawbone because the headset has a piece of white plastic that rest on your jawbone. This piece of plastic essentially measures the vibrations and is able to block out sounds that you do not make. This gives the jawbone one of the best noise cancelation systems around.

Overall the New Jawbone is great, and it comes in three colors, Blah Blah Black, Sliver Tongue, and Goldy Lips.

The Black and Silver retail for $129.99, I was told the Gold would sell for $149.99 but it is available on the Jawbone website for $129.99 also, not sure if that is a temporary or permanent price.

The Jawbone is so great we have decided to award it our 5 Star Kick Ass award!
