[mark30] 19/11/2007 19:46

I really wanted to use this all that time ago now!


The big frock is red on steroids bth

[mark30] 19/11/2007 19:34

Indeed! We know we were let down by CC and even acknowledge our err less than brilliant marketing skills coughs! HOWEVER I do wonder WHY the tech hasn't been snapped up by one of the majors (lets face it would represent lose change to some and possibly less now!)

Or is there ANOTHER reason?

Off the shelf technology going for a song!?! I did think we'd be embedded in somebody by now tbh. Frankly its gone down like a lead balloon!

Did I mention LEAD! LOL good prises for lead just now you know, that ship should be well on its way now too :0)

Is this weird or WHAT !!

[takeiteasy] 19/11/2007 19:22

"Never once did any of my callers complain about not being able to hear me through low volume or static – even in harsh environments like wind or standing on a city street. The multi-microphone design was extremely effective. Was it the very best that we have encountered? We can't really say that, but along with the Gennum nX6000 and Qstik EVOQ, the Jawbone is right up there." just say it man -no need to be PC is there?

the why oh why was the stereo version that was demo'd at the conferences in europe - fairly stunning looks - why not go to market?

[mark30] 19/11/2007 19:07

Nowt wrong with the "best headset vq" TIE.
The doughnut is another question!

FB? Is the pcb gubins (ok technology) small enough to go into what is considered the norm size for lugholes these days?

If so it's a no brainer! Tech wise that is! why oh why eh !

Imho dyor merry xmas and on and on - the weather tomorrow is for more rain and ......

[takeiteasy] 19/11/2007 18:55

FB hallelujah so we still are the best headset vq in the globe - that has to be worth something - can you please paste this over to our boss to be used as part of the recruitment process
and posted to a certain blogsite that you frequent to set the firecrackers off!

In the past, we have seen some noise-cancelling headsets that have performed beautifully in some very harsh environments. Our favorite noise cancelling performers have been (not necessarily in order) the Qstik EVOQ, BlueAnt's Z9, and Gennum's nX6000. These headsets not only set the standard for others with their superb noise cancellation, but are comfortable to wear for long periods of time

Aliph's Jawbone - The Best Bluetooth Headset Ever?

Manufacturer: Aliph
Product: Jawbone
Date: Sat, Nov 17, 2007 - 12:00 AM
Written By: Ken Brown - [e-mail]

Wrap-Up


Aliph's Jawbone has really delivered a headset in the Jawbone, that features a with one of the best noise-cancelling features on the market today. It is a distinct looking headset that is unique in an industry where design counts for a lot – no one will mistake it with a Radio Shack brand (not that there is anything wrong with Radio Shack products of course). In our experience, the charge on the battery lasted for more than the advertised 6 hours. After using it pretty extensively during a typical day, we never got a low battery warning and the Jawbone still had energy left to spare. For those of you looking for another piece of "Bluetooth jewelry", the headset is comfortable enough to wear for long periods of times – it might even replace your normal bling. Maybe not.

This headset really shines when operated in noisy environments as the on-board DSP, multiple microphones and the unique Voice Activity Sensor sheds the unwanted sounds and isolates and enhances the user's voice. Unfortunately, as great as this headset's noise suppression and voice enhancement are, the headset really stumbles when you are actually trying to hear your party in these noisy environments.

Aliph equips the Jawbone with an active volume adjustment where the volume of the headset gets louder when the user's environment gets noisy. This didn't seem to help the Jawbone's chronic inability to put out decent decibels. Even using the manual volume adjustment was futile.

Of course, if you normally use your mobile telephone and Bluetooth headset in a fairly quiet environment or can isolate yourself away from noise, then these flaws are minor shortcomings. But then again, if you are not interested in a headset that works in noisy environments, then you shouldn't even be considering paying over $100 for a wireless headset.

Let's remember, not everyone will need an active noise cancelling headset system to work with their mobile phones. Many of us will choose to save their money on the headset and spring for more minutes or multimedia on their wireless plan. There are many who will need an active noise canceling headset and the Jawbone is one of the best on the market today. With the partnership that Aliph has created with AT&T, Verizon, and now Apple to carry this headset in their stores, you should see a lot more of these headsets on people's ears in the upcoming months.

Is this headset the "Best Ever?" Not in my opinion. It certainly is one of the best on the market, but if you are potential buyer, understand that there is no perfect headset out there and you really have to do your homework in determining what is best for you.


Legit Bottom Line:

At a list price of $120, Aliph's second generation Jawbone Bluetooth wireless headset is one of the best noise canceling and voice enhancement headsets on the market today. The Jawbone is overall a very good headst, but because of the disappointing sound quality and volume generated from the headset, we can't call it the best Bluetooth ever.

Morning all,

well well, a fine turn up...it seems on ocassion that no matter how bizarre the info, it is actually true! LOL!

Still trying to understand the impact on numbers and value..

Smelly,

No more buying for me, not even Mrs T's old ones...and certainly no selling either I'll just sit and watch the fun for awhile and try and work out what happens next! Of course, you will be pleased to learn that Mrs T invested her proceeds into a value-added part of the shoe-chain and now owns a significant part of the largest shoe importer in the UK - Women, who would believe it!

LOL!!

regards

T..

[snazzzy] 17/11/2007 11:07

Hello Mark, great to hear from you.

Yes exciting times ahead on all fronts and thanks for your good wishes. Am still bumpless but I'm sure it won't be long, lovely of you to think of my well being I promise to be the epitome of good health!

Maybe you should take JB under your wing as well, he is clearly his old self! Wine (he denies having more than two glasses), posting way into the early hours on another thread and charming females as usual along the way ;-)

TEO - caught up on the RNS. Total new game for sure, encouraging share price rise and to read that JB,LMD and others have spoken to Masoud. Mixed thoughts on this one, but not giving up yet. Like you say the rules aren't clear and hopefully we will win.

Talking winning, am off to the football this pm. Italian ancestory on my husbands side and he has tickets for the match, don't want to upset you or the other guys so lets just "say may the best team win" and England of course.

Heading home tomorrow, you take care too.
