Pros & Cons
Pros
This one is currently 20 bucks cheaper, so scroll up and add to cart. If you get one that works the way it's supposed to, it's insanely great and you'll be completely happy. Do it. Join the yuppie borg, buy one.
Icon uses a standardized micro-usb connector, so no need to necessarily have your proprietary bt charger with you (just-in-case) comes with charger (battery lasts close to 2 weeks per charge for me) and a bunch of different earpieces so you get the pe... Read More
My daily driver is a honda s2000 convertible sports car. Upgraded to this headset from the jawbone 2. now on number 6. My jawbone prime now has full functionality.
From what i've read, this button pattern clears all of the previously stored bluetooth connections, so that's all you'd lose doing this hard reset. Only complaint is that i can not seem to initiate any command from this device.
When walking, the plantronics voyager pro is solidly there. The plantronics is easier to tell what's happening in terms of charge indicators and button functions. It has a big boom and you don't have to worry about the placement of the headset.
Cons
The ac charger that connects to the phone is a very odd design. The connector just snaps after 2-3 weeks of use. The motorolas have far better battery life, louder without distortion, far more durable and easier to use.
The battery *, the voice quality is shaky and is completely unusable in moderately noisy environments. The noise cancellation is very shaky. Outgoing audio still has major dropouts just as v2.
It is here that the jawbone really becomes unusable. No way. Not without a total redesign. I believe that jawbone headsets are way over hyped.
The battery life is no where near the 5 hrs talk time or 8 days of stand-by. Others have also complained about the separate volume button (it cycles; there is no up/down rocker). Adding to this poor button design is the poor volume / multi-function bu... Read More
Buy the retail version not bulk(oem)version. There was a blurry incomplete photocopy of the instructions. The seller only has a 14 day return policy.
Highlights
Quality
This is a very nice head set sound quality is great
Product works great keep in mind this is a replacement only and does not have the charger or accessories
The 3 previous ones have all suddenly died after 6 to 12 months of use
All the features i was missing out of all these years finally work
Price
For the price it is an amazing deal
And an incredible deal at the price
I figured it wasnt worth 120 just to have something that might be a little better
I understand that standards are bad for profits but so is being a hundred miles from home and not having the one stupid cable y... Read More
Shipping
Got it fast and exactly what i wanted
Very fast shipping and the jawbone is the best
Got this prime recently to avoid getting tickets
But then the time comes like this morning where something inside the jawbone just dies and it wont come on anymore
Packaging/appearance
Ive had two instances where the audio clarity is terrible when ive gotten one of the bulk jawbones just means no oem box the bl... Read More
Competitiveness
I also have a few other bt headsets but of them all ive tried i like jawbones the best
There is no other bluetooth that can compare to the prime
Ill compare this with the icon for anyone not wanting to pay the extra for the icon
Icon has a much better earhook than the prime
