New Ear Piece

I'm a huge fan of Plantronics in terms of headsets. I use a Plantronics CS70N wireless headset in my office and a Plantronics Voyager 510 for my mobile phone. I have tiny ears and the Voyager fit my ear very nicely and seemed to have pretty decent sound quality on both ends of the line.

A couple of months ago, a friend gave me one of his extra Jawbone earpieces. He'd lost it, found it and didn't need two. I used it for a while and was amazed at the quality of the sound and noise canceling ability. I was walking through the airport, between the A and B/C terminals in an area with blaring psychedelic music going, talking to Cathie on the phone. The music was loud enough that I could barely hear Cathie, so I assumed she couldn't hear me. The Jawbone actually cancelled out the background noise to the point that Cathie's could barely hear it. The wind noise reducition was so-so with this headset.

My only problem with the Jawbone 1 was that it didn't fit my freakishly small ears very well. It was tough to get on and felt flimsy once I had it on my ear. I looked around and picked up a Jawbone 2 new on eBay for about $35+$20 for a charger. The new headset fits much better, is half the weight, and the noise cancelling quality is even better. I was on the phone with Silas yesterday in a wind storm and he could barely hear the wind in the background. (As a side note, Silas was sharing with me his view on how India will someday enslave America, but that he will take good care of me when that day comes. How very thoughtful of him.)
