Aliph has always chosen a unique design for their Jawbone line. This time around, they made the device almost 50% smaller than its predecessor. With Aliph's encore of its patented bone conduction headset, the new Jawbone 2 model, the company deserves a standing ovation. The new Jawbone Bluetooth headset has undergone a complete makeover externally. Abandoning the large rectangular form factor its older sibling sported, the new model is less bulky with its smaller form factor and lighter weight. The new look is welcoming. Made of medical grade plastic, this slick looking headset uses a diamond pattern embedded across its face that gives it a very sexy and appealing look. It is very compact and light with dimensions of 2″ x 0.5″ x 0.5″ and weighs just 10 grams. The buttons completely gel in with the design and add to its appeal. On the technical side, it has awesome sound quality with superior noise cancellation technology which Aliph calls the ‘Noise Assasin’. Noise Assassin is amazing. Once you turn it on it rightfully assesses the environment and works accordingly. Furthermore, it also manages to automatically adjust the volume on its own. It’ll put volume input on high on noisy streets and scale it back in quiet indoors. There were high expectations from the Aliph Jawbone 2 naturally, and well it actually surpassed them all.
