Jawbone is a bluetooth headset, designed by Yves Behar. This is the new generation, smaller, lighter and more expensive, $129.99, than previous versions. The press release says it's "binaural," which is a neat way to say it works on both ears, right or left, although, presumably, not at the same time. I have a Jawbone and although most of the Bluetooth devices are junk, this is a keeper. It's comfortable, has a good battery life and a built in noise filter that removes ambient sound. I was hesitant when I saw the device a few months ago but their pr provided me with a review device to try out (thanks, Marie!) and I've been a fan since then. The charger is USB so it can charge off a powered, computer port as well as the regular, wall outlet. Comes in silver, rose gold or matte black.
