   The Aliph Jawbone 2 is the Greatest Bluetooth Headset I ever had and I had at least 18 other Bluethooth Headsets.
   My Score: 5 / 5 Stars

   I’ve been reading all the reviews on the Jawbone 2 and it is clear to me that if the earpiece fits your ear (with or without other plugs from Jabra, Jawbone, etc.) it’s great and if it doesn’t fit, it simply doesn’t work properly. I don’t know why the people for whom it doesn’t work get so upset. It like trying on a shirt and it doesn’t fit, big deal. I haven’t gotten one yet (waiting for silver), but I sure hope it fits when I do, so I can join the lucky ones who get to use it. Good luck.

   The Jawbone II bluetooth headset is not really made very well and is a lot worse than people seem to give it credit for. Parts fall off after a short time and it is very cheaply made.

   Further, once you set it up, you can only use it on one ear. Other headsets (like Plantronics ones for example) allow you to swivel the earloop to switch ears if you get tired of using it on one ear. The Jawbone doesn’t do this. In order to switch ears, you have to remove the earloop and reinstall it.

   While the Jawbone’s noise cancellation does seem good that’s about all it has going for it because your voice still sounds muffled, soft and digital-like.

   But my main complaint is with the Aliph Jawbone company customer service itself-they are absolutely horrible. They advertise on their website that the Jawbone has a 1 year manufacture warranty to the end consumer. But, my Jawbone broke and when I contacted them about getting warranty service on it, they rudely informed me that they only provide warranties on units bought directly from their own website. If I bought from some other retailer, it has ZERO warranty! I’m not sure whether or not this is even legal, but do believe it reflects very poorly on the company that they don’t even stand behind their own products.

   I would never recommend buying this headset or any other made by Aliph.

   A much better choice would be the BlueAnt Z9i Bluetooth Headset (Black) because:

   -It doesn’t require the unit to be touching your jaw bone or cheek at all
   
   -It’s a lot easier to put on and take off
   
   -It’s more comfortable and doesn’t fall off as easily
   
   -It’ has two selectable levels of noise cancellation
   
   -It’s firmware update-able
   
   -It has wind noise suppression
   
   -It’s cheaper yet audio quality both to callers and to you are about the same. Noise cancellation is about equal
   
   -It has a full 2 year warranty

   The product is the worst blue tooth headset I’ve had. The fit is ok, but the part that holds the device to your ear is flimsy. I’ve broken the pieces that came with the device. More importantly, everyone I talk to says that they can’t hear me….even inside a building with no ambiant noise. I am thoroughly disappointed.
