"Plantronics Voyager Pro is much better for less money!"
Pros: Stylish but at the sacrifice of performance and usability
Cons: -Call quality is worse than Plantronics Voyager Pro
Summary: My recommendation is to buy both the Jawbone Prime and the Plantronics Voyager Pro from a place that let's you return one of them. That's what I did.
-Confusing buttons are less functional than Voyager Pro
The call quality Voyage Pro simply sounds much better and more natural in a wider variety of conditions (road, wind, crowd, music, etc). Call and leave yourself voicemails so you can hear for yourself.
Also the battery life is much longer and the buttons are much more straightforward and easy to control on the Voyager Pro.
Still its best to experience these attributes yourself, so again my recommendation is to just try both for a few days and keep the one you are happiest with.

A star ratng of 1 ? Is Jawbone really junk ?

Where were you able to buy both that would allow you to return one? What phone and wireless carrier do you use?

Be sure to also look at yourself in the mirror to see how ******-baggy you look. You'll quickly regret your choice if your friends make a weird face every time they see you with it on....
Headsets are already nerdy, a stab at fashion can't hurt. In this regard, the jawbone beats the plantronics hands down. If you're a hermit, go ahead and go for the plantronics. -
I just got rid of the Voyager Pro due to its size and unique ablity to pick up any kind of wind (even while walking) I could not even crack the windows in my car with it! I just went to a Jawbone Prime and I can roll all windows down with not a sound heard on the other end!! Do you work for Plantronics?? There is no comparision between these two products!

excellent suggestions, I always "buy and try" first, I agree, this bluetooth headset is a pile! poor voice quality and noise cancellation is not very good, would have rather had the noise than the eratic cutou, johnny robot sound that came across to the listener on the other end

Wait, what are you reviewing? Is it the Prime or the Voyager Pro? I did just what you suggested and wound up keeping both. I like the natural sound from the Voyager Pro but not too crazy about the call center look. I like the Prime for it's look and more superior noise cancellation technology. The Prime does need more battery power though.

fanboi review and even if you did think another product was better that makes this product one star? Come on.

I found this review to have very good advice for trying out the products. And for someone who is looking for a direct comparison against the Plantronics, I really appreciate it.
Sounds like LChatelain is working for Aliph and is trying to discredit a useful review...i mean come on! To be fair, how many reviews here sound like they were written by Aliph employees? Isn't the answer most of them, since they gloss over/ignore the shortcomings of this product?
I tested both and I returned the Jawbone Prime because the sound quality and the noise cancellation just isn't up to par when compared against the Plantronics Voyager Pro. Not to mention the shorter battery life and that aweful Jawbone proprietary charging cable you need to take everywhere. I charge the voyager pro with my existing micro USB chargers I got from my Moto headset. AND the Jawbone Prime was 30% more in cost. Comparing features and performance, the Jawbone Prime is one of the worst deals on the market. -
This seems like a Plantronics review, not a Jawbone review...it even seems like this "headset guru" even works for Plantronics. doesnt really fit with the spirit of impartial reviews...
