Jawbone is a brand of Bluetooth headset made by Aliph, a company based in San Francisco, designed by Yves Behar.
Jawbone is paired to a mobile phone, PDA or computer to enable wireless communication utilizing Bluetooth, a technology that provides a way to securely connect and exchange information between devices over a globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.
Jawbone uses technology that Aliph developed for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), processing incoming and outgoing audio to reduce background noise in military environments.
The device is worn on the ear so it touches the user’s face, using a small sensor to detect vibrations made during speech in order to separate a caller’s voice from noise in their surrounds.
In 2007, Jawbone was awarded an International CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award, was named “Wearable Gadget of the Year” Engadget and received CNET’s highest-ever rating for a Bluetooth headset.
The Highest Rated Bluetooth Headset. Ever.
I ordered this online, found out it was on back order, so I cancelled, a week later it shipped from the manufacturer. I bought one in town locally.
