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.
