Fancy winning a Jawbone Era Bluetooth Headset?

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

The Jawbone Era is the most beautiful and stylish Bluetooth headset on the market.  Not only is it light and sophisticated but it contains built in Military-Grade NoiseAssasin 3.0 and wind cancelling technology.

This technology is that clever that is eliminates all background noise and auto-adjusts the incoming call volume to the surrounding environment; meaning that no matter where you are you can hear and be heard perfectly.

Inside the headset, there’s a 10mm speaker with full HD audio performance, making it Jawbone’s most powerful speaker to date.  The Era is also the first Bluetooth headset to include a built in accelerometer and MotionX technology.  This means it’s completely integrated with the MyTALK platform, which allows the headset to function with motion application such as ‘TapTap’ to answer phone calls.

Jawbone usher in a shining new ERA

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Jawbone have been firm favourites of ours for a while now, and despite the fact that they don’t come cheap they’re still top sellers – which just proves that this is the sort of quality that’s really worth the money!  They’ve really outdone themselves with the Jawbone ERA, though, which sees a number of fantastic firsts for the company (and for Bluetooth headphones in general!)

Let’s take a look at what it’s got to offer…

It’s teeny-weeny
Stunningly small and startlingly stylish, the Jawbone ERA weighs just 10.2g and measures a miniscule 51.3 x 24.1 x 14.5 mm, making it small and light enough to use all day without getting earache.

It looks great
The ERA is a marvel of architecture, with a layered exterior and a sleekly textured finish.  It’s available in four elegantly low-key colours: Midnight, Shadowbox, Smokescreen and Silver Lining.

It sounds great
The ERA has the largest and most powerful speaker of any Jawbone headset so far, measuring in at 25% larger than other models.  It also offers high-quality, full-spectrum HD audio, so your caller’s mellifluous tones will be music to your ears!  The ERA is the first Bluetooth headset to feature NoiseAssassin 3.0, a noise-cancelling technology that was originally developed by the military for use by helicopter pilots and tank controllers. So it can certainly handle a bit of background traffic noise!

It’s technologically advanced

This is the first headset to feature a built-in accelerometer and MotionX technology.  Jawbone are in the process of developing a range of exciting motion-based apps for download via their MyTALK platform, and the first two have already been released: ShakeShake, which lets you go into pairing mode just by shaking the headset, and TapTap which lets you answer phone calls with just a tap.

Perfect for the car

Bluetooth headsets are a great way to stay safe whilst chatting on the road, and the Jawbone’s motion apps make it easy to take calls on the go.  Team it with a USB car charger to make sure you stay powered up and in touch no matter where you are.

It’s a great fit for all

No matter what size your lug-holes are, Jawbone cater for you – the ERA comes with eight different size/shape earbuds and an optional binaural earloop, making them the perfect fit.

The Jawbone ERA is available over on the main site, along with many more Bluetooth accessories.

Coming Soon: Jawbone Icon Bluetooth Headset

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Jawbone have just announced their 4th Bluetooth Headset – The Jawbone Icon.

Like every Jawbone before it, it features Noise Assassin technology to almost eliminate background noise and has a smart modern look, but what makes the Icon stand out?

Jawbone Icon Bluetooth Headset

Apart from being the smallest and lightest headset that Jawbone have produced, it has a number of improvements and new features. The Jawbone ICON lets you set custom tones and multiple voices to alert you to incoming calls. One of the new features onboard is called MyTALK, this allows you to control mini-apps that change the voices or language and allows you to customize a button to call voicemail or a predefined contact in your phonebook. You can find more information on how MyTalk works at the Jawbone MyTalk website.

The other major change is a welcome one – Jawbone are supporting the switch to Micro USB charging and as a result, the Icon uses a standard Micro USB mains charger, rather than their proprietary connection found on older headsets. This is great news as it now means you’ll be able to use the same charger on your phone and headset.

If you’re an iPhone user, the Jawbone ICON’s remaining battery life is displayed on your iPhone’s status bar so you’ll be able to see at a glance whether the headset needs charging.

Multipoint support has also been improved. On the Jawbone Prime you could answer a second call from a second phone, but this would result in the original caller being disconnected. With the Jawbone Icon you can now place the first caller on hold while you take the call from your second phone.

Jawbone Icon - The Rogue

The software on the Jawbone Icon can be upgraded and new features such as A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) support will be available for the headset not long after it’s launch. This means that you can use it to listen to music from your phone, but as the Icon only has one earpiece you’ll obviously only be able to hear it in one ear. To make sure that you don’t miss anything, the Icon converts stereo audio into mono audio. Not great for listening to music, but good enough for watching videos or YouTube on your phone.

The Icon will be available in 6 designs, The Hero, The Rogue, The Catch, The Bombshell, The Ace & The Thinker.

Pricing and availability are yet to be confirmed in the UK so we’ll keep our ears open and post any updates on here as and when we get them. To make sure you don’t miss out, either subscribe to our RSS feed or head over to the product pages where you can sign up for email updates on the Jawbone Icon.

Top 10 Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headsets

Friday, August 21st, 2009

While shopping for accessories for your phone I’ve noticed that people tend to struggle when it comes to choosing a Bluetooth Headset – probably because at first glance they all seem very similar.  They all allow you to use your phone safely in the car and can answer & end calls, so why are there so many different ones to choose from?

Up until recently my answer would have been that the main differences were size, weight and battery life. While that’s still true for most headsets, advances in headset technology have meant that there is now something else to consider when choosing a Bluetooth Headset – Noise Cancellation.

Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headsets

Now, you might be thinking that noise cancellation is nothing new, and technically it’s not – noise cancellation has been around for years and in a number of formats. From simple design changes such as foam covers over the microphone to clever software that makes your voice clearer, but the newer generation of Bluetooth headsets go one step further. Most of the latest noise cancelling headsets have 2 microphones built into them, one that picks up your voice and another that picks up background noise. Software in the headset then analyses the sound from both microphones and any sounds picked up by both microphones are removed so that your voice comes through clearly.

Not all Bluetooth Headsets currently have this feature, and trying to find the ones that do out of the 140 that we sell will take you some time, so to help you along I’ve listed below our top 10 noise cancelling headsets. Most of these headsets have the dual microphone technology, although a couple of them have some other clever technology to cut out back ground noise.
