T he first impression of this Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset was very positive thanks to the high-class package it comes in. The fact that the manual is only available in English might be a small minus. At first glance you will not detect any buttons since they are beautifully and carefully integrated in the neat design of the Bluetooth headset. Pairing the headset with a cell phone through Bluetooth 1.1 or 1.2 is very simple and not one problem occurred on any of the occasions. The sound quality without activating the 'Noise Shield technology' function is of a high quality level as long as there is not too much background noise. In case of a lot of noise, the 'Noise Shield technology' should be activated, after which you will be nicely surprised. It is really incredible how well background sounds are minimized, which enables conversing on a normal tone. The Jawbone headset might not be the cheapest one with its price tag of 85 EUR ($119.99) but it certainly is the best solution for people frequently using a headset in a noisy environment!
