Aliph New Jawbone

Aliph New Jawbone
Gold on Model Gold Front Gold Back

REVIEW

Aliph has been around since 1999, but the company rocketed to stardom in 2006 with the introduction of the Jawbone Bluetooth Headset, arguably the first noise-canceling model that actually worked. Its noise-canceling circuitry, plus the Jawbone's style and sound quality, netted it our Editors' Choice award. Since then, however, a number of new headsets have caught up—especially our current Editors' Choice, the excellent-sounding Plantronics Voyager 520. After two years, Aliph has produced an encore—and it's called, appropriately, the New Jawbone. It boasts the same noise-canceling performance of its predecessor, but with updated styling and without all the bulk. But does the new Jawbone have what it takes?

Bottom Line

The new Jawbone is slicker, lighter, and more comfortable to wear, all the while retaining the two best virtues of the original: amazing noise suppression and great sound quality.

Pros

Excellent voice quality. Effective noise cancellation. Very comfortable fit. Charges in one hour.

Cons

Poor battery life.
