I just received one from my work and I have to say I am impressed. I had the original Jawbone and returned it to the store. I was a little reluctant at first to get the Jawbone 2, but am way happy with the newest version. I would highly recommend it.

Same here, I have it and really like it.

I will be posting a review.

I had the original JawBone and gave it to one of my family members so I could get the JawBone 2.

I really didn't think they could make it better then the first JawBone but the new one it so light I barely remember I am wearing it, not to mention the voice quality is amazing. An amazing improvement.

Here is some more info.

Weight is excellent
Size is good to excellent
Sound quality is excellent
Noise Assassin - According to everyone I have talked to is very very good
Buttons are easier to operate on this version vs. the original
Charger fits better too
Earloop and earbud fit great - No soreness after long periods of wearing it

Good to see the positive feedback here. I've considered the JB2, but saw some negative feedback on Howard Forums regarding it.

The Jawbone 2 is very stylish, I want one!

I love the new Jawbone. Superb sound. Great form factor. Wish it had a mini USB charger, but life's tough some times. Great quality.

Are there any issues with bluetooth connectivity / reliability with the 8830? I had read some complaints a while ago about that...

I have had zero issues with mine.

JB2 is great for me.. no issues.

I have connectivity issues with my Jawbone 2 which, incidentally, are exactly the same issues that I had with the first one. Specifically, whenever I get an email, the Jawbone disconnects and then reconnects, and I have to wait for that annoying screen telling me about the disconnect/connect before I can use the BB again. This happened on my Curve and now my Bold with both Jawbone models.

Does anyone have this issue. I also have a BlueAnt Z91 which does not have this problem.

I never had that problem, which either JawBone 1/2 and I've used both JawBones with both an 8830 and 8330. Maybe it's something with the 9000, are you running the latest OS?

Have you tried the normal battery pull and/or repairing the JB2 with yout BlackBerry?

I also have both Jawbone's. What I don't like about the new one is it does not stay in my ear as well as the original. I am a service tech working in rooms with temperatures of about 100 degrees. Of course you are going to sweat a little, the old Jawbone works better for me. I'm going to have to start my search for a new headset.

I bought a custom ear piece from Avery Sound and it fits great. I have to turn the volume almost all of the way down during a call. My problem is the ringer volume as well as the startup volume. I put some cotton in to help but it is almost painful when it rings. I emailed the jawbone people and they anly said they don't recommend that type because it can cause hearing loss. I suppose it can if you can't adjust it! I would have needed it I could have gotten it to fit better. Does anyone know of a hack to make the ringer quieter?

I found that the fit of later Jawbone was 100% better than the original, especially since I didn't have to do any tweaking to the new one. The original I had to play with and buy new earpieces and all sorts of stuff, but this one I literally took out of the box and it fit perfectly...but everyone is different and that's what makes finding a good headset difficult.

And good luck with the 100 degree weather, can't imagine running around in that all day.

Hey all

is the sound louder on the new ones? I just got the origanal and itsfantastic for the noise supression but i can barely hear the other person.

any feed back would be great

The new jawbone is a complete overhaul IMO of the old one. The fit is perfect, the sound is amazing, and I haven't had a single complaint about others not being able to hear me. I live near the ocean, and am constantly outside in windy conditions, and people are amazed at how well they can hear me.

I was some what skeptical when I bought this unit, because I was dissapointed in the original. But I would say go for it, excellent unit and you won't be sorry.

Hope this helps.

I had both JB's and returned them both. Could never get used to the predominantly treble sound in my ear. Could never get either to sit tight in my ear either.

Can you play mp3 through the JB2 when synchronizing it with the Bold?

Sorry the JawBone2 does not support any music playback from the BlackBerry, only for phone calls.

The Jawbone 2 is the best bluetooth out there, love the thing. I wish it could be used with ATT Navigator or any kind of talking program so that the audio was through the headset and not the phone. Any chance of seeing this ever you think?

I researched and narrowed my final choice down to the JB2 vs the Plantronics 925. Read a lot about both, chose the 925, and have not been disappointed. For a datapoint with a lot more opinions than you'll find in threads here, on Amazon.com the JB2 currently has 254 user reviews and is rated 3 out of 5 stars. The Plantronics 925 has 286 user reviews and is rated 4 out of 5 stars. I borrowed a friend's JB2 and did side by side tests. To me, the 925 is much more intelligible for me when wearing it, and several people I called all said it sounded better than the JB2.

Good to know, I received the JB2 as a gift so I never really did a lot of research on it. I am very satisfied with it, but after hearing your opinion I'm going to look into that device as well.

I don't think so because... I think it is the hardware in the JawBone 2 that makes it incompatible for music (A2DP). Not 100% on that thought.

JB2 is going to be one of the best (if not the best) for vioce phone calls/noise cancellation. Voice calls it all it can do so it better be good at it

Got the JB2 and what a piece of junk. Does not sit in the ear well. Sound quality is poor. Battery life is low. It loses the connection with the blackberry. The worst part is the people I talk to cant hear me. I fade out sometimes. They say my voice volume is way too low. I went to the jawbone website for help. Maybe it was not on my face correctly, so I adjusted it according to the instructions and still the same problem.

I have tried the original Jawbone. 4 times I bought 4 times it either broke or stopped charging. I loved the original Jawbone except for the prior sentence.

I bought Jawbone 2 and liked it. The problem I had, was I could not get the earpiece to fit solid against my cheek thus not allowing the noise assassin to work.

I have the BlueAnt V1. Pretty tiny and nifty voice features. Doesnt fit on ear great but "most" people can hear me ok.

I returned the JB2 successfully and bought the Motorola H15 that I heard raves about. Like the BlueAnt it is not snug against ear. Like the BlueAnt "most" people could hear me fairly well

I love the JB2, but it keeps loosing connection and i constantly have to reset it and it won't charge...I just went through customer service and they are exchangeing it for me now...so far the CS has been great, but, i'm withholding judgement until my replacement comes in.

I swap out my first JB2 due the connection issue.. So far the second one has been fine.

I picked up the JB2 yesterday for my Storm. I had the 1st JB with my pearl/curve. I replaced 4 of them before I gave up. Sound/static, they were all horrible. Now I took the chance on the JB2 and I am honestly impressed. It really works well now. Fit is 100% better then the 1st one. I called my office phone and tested it with no backround noise at 1st. Then in my car I started calling my office and leaving messages at different sound levels with my radio. All the tests that I did, the call quality was great. I had my radio so loud in fact that somone sitting in the passenger seat would not be able to understand me, and the call was great when i reviewed the message at my office. As of right now I'm sold on it. Mike

I finally took my Jawbone two to Verizon today and they discovered the same thing I did. It pairs fine and is working to receive calls but when I try to make a call from the JB2, silence. WhenI got home tonight, I also paired my wife's JB2 and the same issue. When you push the side of the JB2 to make a call, no sound whatsoever. M larger Jawbone works - sound is kind of bad when the voice asks for a command but then is fine. So, I have the same issue with two JB2s.

I just picked up a JB2 off Craigslist here in phoenix for 50.00 brand new and I love it. I had just bought the BlueAnt Z9i 2 weeks ago because did not want to shell out over 100.00 for the JB2. Comparing the 2 together side by side this thing blows away the Z9i in noise cancellation, comfort is great, I got their new ear buds for free awhile ago before I even got one and they are so much better fitting and you do not need the ear loop which I hate wearing. So IMHO JB2 is the superior headset, I have had every plantronics bluetooth that has come out over the last 5 years and although they are nice none of them compare in sound quality in noisy situations like the JB2 or Z9i. (Best friend is a plantronics regional rep and I get them to test for her)
