New Bluetooth Headset
With the new Jawbone, keeping up with your mates, or your business activities, whilst on the move has never been clearer. Featuring military-grade Noise Assassin technology, the new Jawbone is unmatched in its ability to address real-world noise - it literally feels your speech with its patented Voice Activity Sensor (VAS). Jawbone uses the VAS to distinguish the sound of your voice from ambient noise with incredible accuracy and then uses proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to subtract the noise so only the sound of your voice comes through.

 

 

Jawbone Headset with Noise Assassin

Noise Assassin was originally developed for DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), which creates new technology for the U.S. military. It was designed to work in tough, battlefield environments, where clear communication is critical. "Our goal is always to create an elegant fusion of performance and user-focused design. The new Jawbone Headset delivers on the promise of mobility by allowing people to make calls from noisy environments, such as cars and airports, with a device that fits in with the way you live," said Alexander Asseily, chairman and co-founder of Aliph. "We're excited to launch in the UK and eventually across Europe with a product that we believe Europe's discerning users will appreciate."

The new Jawbone was designed by renowned industrial designer Yves Behar, who has introduced a beveled diamond pattern across the front, resulting in a three-dimensional texture that glides under your fingers. One of the key differences from its predecessor, however, is its size. The new Jawbone is almost 50 percent smaller than the original, measuring 508mm long by 1.27mm wide by 1.27mm thick and weighing 10 grams. The new Jawbone has a rated talk time of four hours and rated standby time of more than eight days. It also comes with a magnetic charging base.
