"Simply SUPERB!"
Pros: Crystal clear sound, sexy smaller look, and state of the art technology all in one dynamic package!
Cons: Absolutely NONE! Version 2 corrected all the cons in my book!
Summary: Jawbone did it even better this time around--clearly they listened to their critics and make the needed changes. The sound between my first Jawbone and this one is MUCH better...I actually hear some bass response in my callers voice. Yes, the tin-edge is much better! Buttons depress much easier now as well. What can I say, this version, IMHO, simply redefines the bluetooth headset world. Good luck improving on this one. My one suggestion to any long-term users of this headset is to spend the $60 and get a custom earpiece for this headset from www.averysound.com. They send you the impression kit and turnaround time is about 2 weeks. My 1st generation Jawbone earpiece works perfectly on the 2nd generation one. With that custom earpiece, your sound will be taken to a new level and you can wear it forever. It is more than worth it to "perfect" your Jawbone 2 experience.
By the way, I've owned ALL of the best/expensive headsets...this one is "it on a stick!"

Ok, I'm confused... but first help me clarify which Jawbone is which. The Jawbone 1 is much wider then the Jawbone 2 and runs between $69 and $99... whereas the Jawbone 2 runs $119 - $129 right? The AT&T manager showed me both but directed me to the lessor expensive Jawbone 1 claiming that it actually have a better noise reduction filter then the Jawbone 2. He went on to share the new video clip showing the Jawbone 1 being worn by a lady at a construction site and when she activated it, the heavy equipment and jack hammers in the background were totally eliminated. However when I viewed the new Jawbone 2 site, I saw the video described to me, now making me wonder if the sales guy mixed the two up? The video by the way, while it eliminated the background noise impressively, it still sounded like the girl was talking under water with a hint of a "gurgling" sound or a "tinny" sound to her voice reminding me my first experience with a bluetooth earpiece in 2005. SO what's up.. you rate the Jawbone 2 as a perfect 10 while other ratings are as low as a 2, 3, 4? I believe you indicated you owned the Jawbone 1, and now the 2. What am I to believe? How much of the sound quality depends on the wireless phone you are using. Thanks
