Aliph Introduces New Jawbone Bluetooth Headset

Kim Poh Liaw — Thu, 15 May 2008 08:36:26 +0000

Aliph today introduced the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset with 50% smaller than the original Jawbone, and noise elimination technology. The new Jawbone features military-grade NoiseAssassin technology to address real-world noise environments like busy streets, cars and airports, and blocks out up to ten times more noise energy than its closest competitor. The Jawbone headset uses the VAS to distinguish the sound of your voice from ambient noise with incredible accuracy and then uses proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to subtract the noise so only the sound of your voice comes through.

Two streamlined buttons are operated by touching the outside shield, and they control all the functions of the headset, which is extremely lightweight at just 10 grams. Made with premium materials, including medical grade plastic with better cosmetic and health performance, the expressive aesthetic confers a premium visual and ergonomic experience.

Compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled phones, the new Jawbone supports more than four hours of talk time and eight days of standby time. Featuring a new fast-charge battery that charges up to 80% of capacity in just over half an hour, the new Jawbone can be charged with the included USB cable on a computer, or with the wall-charger.

The new Jawbone is available today for $129.99 at AT&T retail stores nationwide and online at www.jawbone.com and www.wireless.att.com. Available initially in matte black, it will be coming soon in silver and rose gold.
