I see a bunch of you guys mentioned a lanyard, I found one for my h500 that is awesome, the bluDangle at www.bludangle.com It is a super tough universal fit wireless headset lanyard that clips on to your shirt, coat, whatever. I started using the bludangle and I will never go back. Good review Goldring!

I bought my jawbone bt headset last night at a verizon wirless store. I plugged it in and then realized it was on upside down. I had some trouble unplugging it. I heard a crack and then I was PISSED. So I finally got it off, put it on correctly, and then went to unplug it this morning and the cover broke off like you all were saying and I could see the circuitry. I am just going to pry the thing out of there, and take it back and get something else. I am not even going to mess with this. The company needs to make a better connection. This is so stupid! I was so excited and now I am no disappointed. hello all! I bought my jawbone bt headset last night at a verizon wirless store. I plugged it in and then realized it was on upside down.

Wish I had come here first before purchasing my Jawbone. My friend recommended it, in fact he had the same setup as I do. Cingular (now AT&T) 8525 with the Jawbone. 1. I experience connectivity issues sporadically. Unable to determine the cause. However, when in proximity to an Apple AirPort Extreme, I disconnect about 60% of the time. 2. Also had a problem with my first Jawbone charger. Much like most of the reviews, my first one "broke" near the noise cancelling button, where one side lifted and I could actually see the circuitry. To AT&T's credit, they took the product back and gave me a new one. Although, this did happen on the first day of use, so I still had my receipt. The headset wasn't even 12 hours old! 3. As far as the noise cancelling, I don't seem to experience any benefits from this. Although I don't find myself standing next to a weed whacker or a leaf blower, a casual ride in my car with the radio on does require me to hit the mute button on my phone. Walking in the wind also fails my test. In another test, I stood about a couple inches away from a Vornado on it's lowest speed setting, to simulate wind as well. It actually cut everything out, including my voice. Trial #2, same Vornado, standing about a foot away. It cut my voice out, but kept the wind blowing. I kept that white button on my cheek, per specification for all tests. My experience? Noise cancelling is a bust. 4. Ear piece requires considerable effort to put it on. I don't think my ears are any larger or smaller than that of anyone here, but I'm so used to my Motorola headset, that the Jawbone requires too much fenagling for me. Good points? 1. Sound quality is actually pretty decent, if you're in a quiet enough place and not relying on the noise cancellation feature. 2. Once you get it on, it is fairly comfortable, albeit, it is slightly heavier than my old Motorola headset. Future requests for this product? 1. Mini USB charger. Duh. 2. A mute button. Just for the occasional need to be on mute, whether you're having a side conversation, or coughing fit, whatever. 3. Noise cancelling that actually works. 4. Better market research. *sigh* I may switch back to my old headset... Here's to wishing everyone else a more pleasant experience than mine. Damn.

But it has terrible battery capacity. The second is the Jawbone. So far the Jawbone has far better battery capacity - days on a charge rather then less then 8 hours with the B&O - but far less comfortable. Both have excellent audio - B&O is a bit clearer, and both have very effective noise cancellation. But the B&O does not make cheek contact to work. Both have unique chargers. Now I would like to find the features and quality of the B&O with the battery life of the Jawbone.

Both the chargers worked fine for a while and then the issue where you have to fiddle with the end cap to make sure it charges started happening after a few months of use.

Need to wiggle it out; pliers would be easier. annoying, probably will exchange it.

Once I put the charger on the headset it charges fine... When I try to remove the charger it unplugs easily however the noise shield button comes off. This happens every time I charge it which is very frustrating. I have to get some pliers to remove the noise shield button from the charger then put it back on the jawbone.
