The Apple headset is very small in size and has a good voice quality. The fit worried me though because it felt like it was going to slip out. All-in-all I give Apple the edge by just a bit because of the cool dock and cable iphone headset battery pics, but the jawbone is also a great headset. I just don't talk enough on the phone to justify $129.

the apple earpiece is by far one of the best I have ever owned, and I have had plenty of them, Its sound quality is best one yet and fits perfect into my ear.

[dmbaird]

I agree, apple is way better.
My friend has the jawbone, I don't have the heart to tell him he looks like an idiot with it... lol

[iPhonatical]

heh heh !

i choose function over form every day. Luckily with Apple you mostly don't have to.

I left my cell phone in my pants and it went through the washing machine cycle and I pulled it out and flushed it with distilled water and dried it in the toaster oven at 150 degrees F and it is still being used. The Lion battery went to the dead zone however.

I went with Apple bluetooth. Its nice and small and easy to slip on when there's a call. I don't like wearing it all day like its a fashion thing.
I thought about the jawbone but its 3 times the size of Apple's and you have to wear it around your ear, Jawbone is harder to slip on, IMO.

Well, so far I like it (Apple's). Apple bluetooth headset works as advertised.
Nice and small, easy to slip on and off. One thing I don't like although I'm not sure if its the iPhone or the bluetooth headset that's the problem. That is I have to pair and unpair too many times. It ought to know and auto resync when I turn it on but it don't. Anyone know how to change default pin of 0000 to something else ? thanks.

I was also debating between the two. I read on the apple store reviews from a lot of people getting static issues. Any validty to those complaints? People are complaining about static pike its out of range even tho the iPhone is in their pocket.

i ordered the apple headset but only thing im worried about is not staying in my ear

[nxovkin]

for those of you who has an apple bluetooth and it fits in your ear...lucky you because it doesn't fit in my ear, i can't even keep the earphones that came with my iphone to stay in. so i used plantronics 665 which also has great quality sound but comes with 3 different size ear piece...and is sleek looking. i don't have talk loud but can hear the other line very clear.

I own the apple headset and like it's size and the fact that it complements the iphone in style, ease of use, and versatility. The only flaw is that the voice quality is average (and this is being optimistic). I have to raise my voice in 9/10 phone conversations even if I'm in a quiet environment.

It's basically a judgment call:
If you are use to having non business like calls, and don’t care if you have to raise your voice or repeat yourself from time to time then go for the apple headset.
On the other hand if you tend to have conference calls/business calls and sound quality is a detrimental factor then go for the Jawbone.

Hope it helps.

FYI: If you don’t like either then you could consider the Bang and Olufsen (it’s $400.00 worth dough).


Hope this helps,

apple is the way to go man...combo dock for phone and bluetooth. doesnt look like a cheese grater on your ear nor does it have the "lighthouse" beacon on your ear that gets annoying.

I owned both. I returned my Jawbone for the Apple BT.

The Jawbone is clearer and overall the better headset in terms of voice quality. I, however, couldnt get any combo of ear buds or ear hoops to fit at all... and well... Its big.

I just think people look ridiculous with that crap on... especially the people who wear them all day long and EVERYWHERE. I mean seriously... I see people at restaurants eating with friends and family with those things on!! I didnt want to look like one of those people.

The Apple BT is just nice, simple, small, and no damn blinking lights. The dual dock and travel cable are deal sealers (especially considering Apple's pricing scheme)... the auto pairing and overall integration with the iPhone is just beyond great. Its easy to pop in when a call comes in. The Apple BT doesnt have the same range as the Jawbone, nor does it have the best voice quality... but its many other features make it the better buy.

I got a Pansonic or something headset, i would feel bad if i spent $129 on a earpeice.

[ReVan]

Love the Jawbone Aliph. Top Voice quality and the marvelous Voice shield feature. I believe there is 6 weeks waiting for your order.

[murtnabila]

I think you should check out the plantronics 665 it is VERY small and lightweight. It also has dsp and IMO sound quality is just as good as the jawbone (I own two jawbones and 4 665). I have been through a lot of bt and these two are the only ones I would buy, though I have yet to try the apple one. But from what i've researched the apple bt has no voice cancellation. Because of the jawbones size the 665 wins hands down and being that i am a courier and am constantly in my car i love the car charger for the 665. I just slip it in and its starts charging, also very comfortable too over the jb.

I was considering both the Apple BT headset and the Jawbone, especially since I got Apple to give me the $100 store credit (which I totally didn't qualify for, but got anyway. ) Frankly, I don't care what people think of how I look when I wear a BT headset; when I got my first one (a Jabra BT200), I vowed to never use a cell phone that didn't have BT and to never hold a phone to my ear again. 95% of the time I'm using my BT headset; the other 5%, the battery is dead and I used a wired set.

I like the Apple BT headset integration, but I want - and need - noise cancelling. I need clear sound. And the Jawbone is the best headset for that, period. Sure, it doesn't block wind noise, especially when my top is down on my convertible, but then again, NO BT headset can make that claim. Plus, I need adjustable ear loops and ear pieces, since I have a hard time getting a good fit. I'm currently using a Motorola RAZR H3 BT headset I got for free with my SLVR purchase a little over a year ago; actually, I'm on my third one, since Motorola has replaced it twice now since I use it so much I wear it out.

The final decision for me was the Jawbone, based on user reviews, both good and bad. The only "bad" things I've seen are people commenting on how it LOOKS, which I don't care about (I'm also a "function over form" type of guy), but even those people agree it's the best-sounding BT headset out there, bar none. With my Apple $100 store credit, I picked it up for $21.35 shipped, and it should be here Tuesday.

I can't wait.
