JawBone Icon is Ear Jewelry Fashion Statement
I’m know I’m not the only one that has stepped out and saw someone talking to them only to discover that instead of talking to me, they are talking to someone inside an ear piece. You don’t discover this until you look like a fool doing the smile and nod, or the hand signals for “you talking to me,” or maybe even some of us had spoken out loud in response to something we thought they were saying to us. From our perspective we’ve mistaken this individuals for mentally disturbed individuals, but still the ear piece seems to be a highly popular item for cell phone users and Jawbone continues that tradition with their new release.
The release of the Jawbone Icon ($100) sets the stage for more than just a piece of technology that supposedly makes it easier for you to take your calls. Instead it goes for more than function it goes for form as the Icon looks to be more a piece of jewelry rather than a piece of technology. Coming in various colors and styles, the Bluetooth device looks to break away from the faux pa of wearing headpieces that has become the punchline for many comedians. The Icon sports a Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR functionality, 4.5 hours of talk time with an internal rechargeable battery.
Jawbone Icon merges gadgetry with jewelry functionality.
A nice feature is the Noise Assassin 2.5 noise eliminator which is supposed to keep the noise out and your calls clear. We’ve seen variations of this in the past, but this new updated version presumably is something to behold. Another interesting addition is the MyTalk software platform where users will be able to customize their settings of the Icon thanks to downloadable programs. I’m interested to see how this works, but it does making adjustments to your headset a lot easier.

bluetooth headsets are great because they are wireless and your movement is not limited by wires `..
