The original Jawbone headset captured headlines with its “military-grade” active noise canceling technology. Less than two years later, Aliph has updated the Jawbone with a smaller, sleeker version.
The new Jawbone weighs in about 50 percent smaller before, and also looks like it’s more comfortable than its predecessor with its leather wrapped ear loop. A new slim loop also lets the Jawbone work better with glasses on.
Functionally, it’s pretty similar to before:
- weighs 10 grams
- up to 4 hours of talk time
- up to 8 days standby time
- charges to 80% in 35 minutes (100% in under an hour)
- new magnetic charging cable
- 3 ear-loop sizes for each ear
- black, silver, or rose gold colors
- MSRP $129.99
Currently, the new Jawbone is available exclusively from AT&T for full price, but expect prices to drop in the future as more resellers get it (we’ll keep you posted).
Or pick up a first-gen Jawbone (which also sold for $129.99 originally) for just $77.14 (black) or $74.49 (red) from Amazon.
update:The " onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001AQYUWC/stuffgeekswant-20_br_/');">New Jawbone 2 is now available from Amazon.com for between $115 and $130 (depending on when you buy it).
