Jawbone PRIME brings consumers even better audio quality, improved comfort and fresh, fun color choices. This release continues Aliph's tradition of marrying technology and design to deliver the best Bluetooth headset on the market.

THE SCIENCE
Aliph, with Jawbone PRIME, has once again obsoleted itself with the latest and greatest in NoiseAssassin technology delivering an order of magnitude better noise elimination performance, an integrated digital approach to wind reduction, and a fail-safe solution if the VAS does not touch the face.

NOISEASSASSIN 2.0
Jawbone has been able to eliminate real world noise better than any other headset because it is the only headset that can accurately separate speech from ambient noise.

AVAD
Acoustic Voice Activity Detector (AVAD) provides a fail-safe mechanism when the Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) doesn't touch your face. When the VAS is not touching the face, Jawbone PRIME performs as good as or better than any other noise cancelling headset. When the VAS touches the face, you get the turbo-boost to the NoiseAssassin performance.

WORKS IN WIND
After solving NoiseAssassination in the most severe noise environments, Aliph focused its engineers on the task of eliminating the impact wind has on speech. With their strong background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques, the Aliph team developed a unique all digital Sensor Signal Fusion system to reduce wind noise.

Jawbone PRIME uses an algorithm that digitally fuses together the best audio from its two electret microphones (the clean preserved high-end frequencies of speech) and its patented Voice Activity Sensor (the low-end frequencies of speech) to create a single, natural sounding speech signal.

The industry-standard microphone approach used by most headset companies fails as the microphones become saturated with wind noise distorting the low-end frequencies of speech (as noticed when you use your handset in a windy environment). By leveraging some innovative DSP techniques and Jawbone's proprietary Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) to reconstruct the missing speech Aliph has implemented a wind solution that maintains award-winning design without having to apply a visually disruptive wind-sock or baffle to physically block the wind.

THE DESIGN
Great technology is not enough: the Jawbone brand is built upon technological innovation with a design that integrates seamlessly into the user's lifestyle by providing comfort, customized fit and personal preference, and great, iconic aesthetics.

 Over-hyped and over-rated

I bought this primarily because of the multi-point capability and the noise cancelling functionality. the headset paired with both of my phones but there was a compatibility issue with my Blackberry Bold 9000 and it wouldn't function properly with that phone. With my other phone it worked fine, but the noise cancelling is over rated and, while it has a sleek design, it isn;t worth paying so much more than other headsets on the market. For £35 it would be a good buy, but for £85 its just not worth the money. Over-rated!

I was certainly impressed overall by the noise-cancelling technologies that has been incorporated into its Bluetooth headsets. It makes positive tweaks to the earlier formula. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a top end Bluetooth headset.
