Jawbone Bluetooth Headset for $59.99!!!

[quote name='shrike4242']Nice price, except when the Jawbone II is coming out that fixes the outstanding issues with the first-gen version.[/quote]

What kind of issues does the original have?
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']What kind of issues does the original have?[/quote]From what I've read, as I've been eyeing the Jawbone for a while, they talk about it being picky about phones it'll pair with, battery life and noise cancellation not quite living up to the promise.

Jawbone II is supposed to fix most to all of these issues.

I was looking at the BlueAnt Z9 as my next headset of choice, until I find that they're coming out with the Z9i, which is an upgraded model:

The BlueAnt has FW upgrade via USB, so you can fix issues with the headset with a FW upgrade.

Thanks for the info...hope I don't regret it...$59 is pretty good price but I have yet to be happy with a Bluetooth, which is why I don't own one yet.

EDIT: That BlueAnt looks nice!

I like the size of the BlueAnt, as my Samsung WEP200 is a tiny thing, so it's nice that it doesn't take over my ear when wearing it.

Being FW upgradeable was the winning point.
 
I bit. I've never owned a Bluetooth headset before. My phone supports it, but I really wanted one for my laptop so I can make Skype calls and try out Vista's voice command feature.
 
Bah! Received it yesterday, clearly used, had earwax on the earpiece. I emailed them asking for a pre-paid label and a refund. I think I'm going to get this next:

[quote name='LinkinPrime']Don't really need a headset...a speaker on the car will work for exactly what I'm looking for. I think I'm going to go with the Motorola, it outputs the sound through your cars speakers.

That headset does look sweet though.[/quote]For the car, the two options you picked should work. I'd check on the reviews of either one before you buy it, and make sure your phone is supported with it.
