Military-Grade NoiseAssassin Technology
Developed over years of research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Jawbone's NoiseAssassin eliminates real world noise better than competing headset because it's the only hands free device that accurately separates human speech from ambient noise. Unmatched in its ability to remove noise from loud environments like busy streets, cars, crowded cafes, and airports, NoiseAssassin is comprised of two features unique to Jawbone: a patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) and proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a VAS that feels the speech vibrations from your jaw. This enables Jawbone to capture the distinct frequencies of your voice.
Conventional "noise suppression" headsets do not have a Voice Activity Sensor and can only estimate when speech is occurring. This causes performance issues like voice distortion, especially in the presence background noise.
Made with premium materials like medical-grade plastic and fine leather, the new Jawbone with NoiseAssassin combines science and beauty in the most unassuming, yet richly detailed product.
The new Jawbone accomplishes a clean and sophisticated look thanks to invisible buttons. Touch-surface technology allows the user to operate switches by lightly pressing the outer shield. Curved and rectilinear to follow the face, the outer shield is lightly textured and inspired by three-dimensional noise abatement surfaces. The infer surface, the one touching your face and creating contact with the Voice Activity Sensor, is gently curved to be ergonomic and comfortable on your skin.
Setting new standards for mobile voice clarity and personal style, the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset by Aliph represents a complete departure from the gadgetry of the mobile headset industry. Originally developed for military use in extreme environments, Jawbone features NoiseAssassin--a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguish your voice from background noise.

DOESN'T SHUT OFF:
I was really excited that the bluetooth actually fit better and buying the gold matched my hair. WRONG !!...
When I had to adjust the earpiece because it moved while I was on a call, I would disconnect the call. Not to mention the quality of the voice I was listening to was scratchy then the volume would keep getting louder. If you try and turn it off to use the phone without the earpiece it would NOT shut off.
Talk about Noise Assassination....I wanted to assassinate the earpiece!

New Purchase for my Treo 650:
Works great! Great reception. I'm still getting used to the earpiece. It's so light, I often forget I have it on. Seems to drain the battery on my Treo pretty quick, though.
It's okay, but not great:
The earpiece is basically for looks. It's lightweight and falls out of the ear constantly, and everytime I go to adjust or put it back it hangs up on the person I'm talking too. The range with my 3g IPhone isn't great either and the battery life lasts for about two phone calls and if it goes to stanby the next time you try it's dying on you. The background noise is cut out while walking and talking. Basically it's only good for the looks, and when using don't drop it.
Jawbone works great - don't fit so good:
Works great, but does not fit my ear too good and sharp edge hurts my ear.
