I have the Jawbone 2. I also have an iPhone. I do not have any problems pairing the two. However, I have gotten much better battery life out of cheaper devices. The sound and fit of the jawbone are great but I would like to at least get twice the amount of time from battery life. My phone battery also lasts longer than the Bluetooth. It’s the only downfall.

Glad to hear that others have found a problem connecting with the iPhone also. I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong!!! Not a great combination.

I own an iPhone 3GS. I just bought a Jawbone 2 and: Incoming calls will sometimes route through the iPhone. (not the speaker) Scratchy. Paired very easily. When Jawbone & iPhone are too far apart and it looses the connection, I have to MANUALLY re-connect each time they are together by pressing the talk button on the Jawbone until the light turns white. They it connects. Very unstable all around. I am so disappointed. I thought I was buying the best (and pretty expensive!) headset for noise … there is a compatibility issue that I am hoping Apple & Jawbone are working on. I would imagine they would be – Jawbone headsets are for sale @ Apple Stores.

Jawbone 2 is a great headset. The only negative side to it is it doesn’t include a car charger in the box. I had to purchase one separately. Bought one from here http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=47963

We are distributors in Japan. We want Jawbone2. There will be an expectation that the purchase amount increases in the future. Please have dealings by 80% of the sales price. I right now want pink and blue at once. Can you correspond?

Just got one today. My entire review:

Sound quality: not acceptable.

It's going back to Amazon. I could hear just fine, but the person on the other end wasn't willing to talk to me on this headset. Switched back and forth to the iphone and sound quality improved right away, so it wasn't just a bad cellphone connection.

I am using the iPhone 3G and the Jawbone 2 headset. I have been having problems with incoming calls, i’m only able to answer them from the phone itself. If I try and answer it from the headset then you get no sound on either the headset or the phone. A friend who has the orignal iPhone has had the same issue. Anyone else?

I tested the Jawbone 2 against the Gennum nx6000. Jawbone blew it away. 1 complaint, the inbound sound is too low. I just received my custom earpiece from averysound.com (best $61 I ever spent)and it is an incredible combo. My buddy said that even his end sounded better.

Yes this is a very nice piece- the smaller size though makes you be careful to active the functions- fat fingers dont work! (smile) The only complaint is the EARBUD style needs to be updated to regress to something like the first model as it will “pop” out very easliy the new wire ones needs improvement- they are not as functional as whats needed in my view- everything else is great!

"Not ideal to where in all situations "

I think that's not correct. You can disable the "Noise Assassin" as I saw in the demo. In that case the "Voice Activity Sensor" need not to be touching your jaw.

Agree with Bill. Just got one and am sending it straight back. Just will NOT sit on my face right, ear ‘fit’ is completely lacking, and without a reliable fit to hold the sensor against your cheek, it ‘noise cancels’ you – as described in the review. It did this about 30% of the time I used it making it a danger on the roads – I was concentrating more on getting it to sit than driving! Hopeless….

I also have a Jawbone and paid a good sum to get it to Canada. I found the ear piece to have a poor fit. I also found the whole thing to be large and heavy after a few hrs. on the road. The noise canceling feature is not an issue, think about it. If someone is working around loud equipment neither party will be able to have a conversation I also find the unit now breaks apart as I try to remove it. It does go back together , but what a pain. Calling the support desk gets a response that one living in Canada could expect. You live where? Funny they have no problem sending it to me when I first purchased it. I’ve gone back to holding my blackberry. My next purchase wont be driven by a slick AD…Cheers!

Thanks Nathan, will do!

@Stacy: Just get a cheap adapter that is a generic USB charger, and plug in the Jawbone’s USB cord. It should cost about $5, and should work with other USB devices, like iPods, GPS devices, and even the iPhone.

I am a Jawbone 1 user and am still amazed that an electronic device used primarily in a car does not have a car charger.

The side to side picture is what I’d really like to see. I have the original Jawbone (that I use with my BB and in about 4 days to start using with iPhone 3G), and plan to get a new Jawbone for my wife (to use with her iPhone 2G). Side by Side picture would really help to put the new model in prespective…

You should included a picture of it in use. I always see it resting in people’s hands! When you shop for a shirt, they don’t photograph it as it’s draped over the model’s feet. I need to imagine how cool I’d look wearing it.

I have the original jawbone and maybe the other people can hear you great but the sound quality in my ear was crap. Sounded very tiny and hollow. Any word on if the new one sounds better for the wearer ?
