Jawbone - The Best Just Got Better.

I deal with Bluetooth headsets all the time. That's just part of my job.

Years ago, Bluetooth headset was considered a luxury item. It was bulky, pricey, and yet uncomfortable for long time wearing.

My first Bluetooth headset was a Jabra. I forgot its model, but it was a behind-the-ear type.

It costs me almost RM400.

Throughout the days, I've come across with various types of Bluetooth headsets. Different brands, form factors and features.

Some was pretty awesome, just like the Jabra JX20 Pura, with Titanium casing.

I shall write about that one day.

Let's talk about Jawbone, one of the best Bluetooth headset ever made.

The first generation was sold like a hot cake. As the slogan says, "The Best Just Got Better" describes the 2nd generation, perfectly!

MCM has the privilege to be appointed as the official distributor for Jawbone, in Malaysia.

This is what the packaging looks like; simple and elegant. Yet it comes with great functionality, when it comes to noise reduction.

Its military-grade Noise Assassin TM technology was originally developed for military use in extreme environments. It is a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguishes your voice from background noise. As a result, Jawbone offers 10 x better voice qualities than competing headsets.



It’s not just a headset, it’s an ear wear with design that mesmerises you. Setting the standard for mobile style, the new Jawbone represents a complete departure from the gadgetry of the headset industry. Made with premium materials like fine leather and medical-grade plastic, the new Jawbone is 50% smaller than the original Jawbone and comes with three ear buds and four ear loops for a comfortable and personalized fit.

GQ Style, September 2008 complimented it as

“Big on design, inventiveness and practicality, the new Jawbone punches way above its weight. Three words come to mind: comfortable, useful and beautiful. There is much more to it than meets the eye”


The white button (the Voice Activity Sensor) feels your speech. It detects exactly when the user is speaking and that separates speech from noise with unprecedented accuracy.

Here’s the specification:

• Talk Time: Over 4 hours
• Standby Time: Over 8 days
• Range: Up to 33 feet (10 meters)
• Weight: 10 grams
• Supports Bluetooth® 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0
• 80% charge in 35 minutes (full charge in less than 1 hour)
• Comes with 3 ear buds, 4 ear loops (leather & slim), magnetic USB cable and wall charger

My colleague, Daniel was asked to pose with it. It fits comfortably on both ears, with feather light weight.

Jawbone Prime comes with 3 colours: Goldy Llips., Blah Blah Black and Silver Tongue.
