Era by Jawbone

Sharp, discreet design. Secure and comfortable fit. Solid call quality

Short battery life

The Era by Jawbone is a refined, discreet Bluetooth headset that offers solid call quality and dispenses with the stigma associated with more gaudy devices.

Ear Candy

Jawbone's marquee Bluetooth telephone earpiece has been redesigned. It's been greatly simplified, and the sound quality improved. And while the Jawbone is as ever unmistakably a Bluetooth earpiece — the mobile accessory that has come to signify...

Super tiny and light. Simpler design is a welcome change. Excellent audio quality from the speaker. Superior noise cancellation. Cool feature: If you lose it in your tuck-and-roll, use the Jawbone app to make the headset beep so you can find it. Works...

Four hours of battery life is weak — to get more, you have to stash it in the charging case ($30 extra) when not in use. Looser fit than an in-ear headphone, so while it stays put, volume suffers. Still too nerdy to pass the cool-kid test, but getting...

Aliph Jawbone Era review: Aliph Jawbone Era

Aliph Jawbone Era

The Aliph Jawbone Era has a unique and attractive design, with updated features that include caller ID by name, a built-in accelerometer, and HD-quality audio.

The Aliph Jawbone Era doesn't have a dedicated volume rocker, and the way it fits the ear is not as easy and comfortable as we would like.

The Aliph Jawbone Era knocks it out of the park with high-end features, amazing audio quality, and innovative design.

Review: Aliph Jawbone Era

The latest model from Bluetooth headset maker Aliph is called the Jawbone Era. It improves on previous Jawbone versions, and, yet again, stands as the...

Superior audio quality. Eight different fit options should handle about every type of ear. Using touch to control headset is surprisingly compelling, and updates could enable new gestures and interactions. Four different Yves Behar designs trump...

0 is not cheap for a headset. But if you’re on it a lot, it’s worth it. Slightly heavier than previous model

Jawbone Era Headset (Midnight) review

When the Aliph Jawbone first came along in 2007, we praised the Bluetooth headset for its unique design and impressive audio quality. Little did we know then that the company would continue to innovate, improving upon its product year after year. There...

Aliph Jawbone Era

Transmission quality is impeccable. This is where Aliph excels, and the company is still the class leader. Calls sound pretty much perfect on the other end, and noise cancellation is very strong, with only one exception: A bit of wind noise came...

Good-looking. Excellent sound quality, especially for A2DP. Can run apps

Sound quality can be just a touch muddy

The Aliph Jawbone Era is more than a headset: it's a potential audio computing platform.

Jawbone ERA Review (2014)

When you hear wearables, the expectation is usually some sort of Glass-style head mounted display. Yet there's still plenty to be done with audio-only: a clandestine whisper of information into your ear, funneling in directions, messages, and other...

Jawbone ERA Review

Jawbone's newest Jawbone Bluetooth headset has arrived, the Jawbone ERA, evolving the discrete styling of the ICON and taking its place at the top of the company's range. There's more than just good looks promised, though; Jawbone has also slotted in a...

It’s tough not to be impressed by the Jawbone ERA: the HD audio and effective noise-reduction technology take care of the core functionality, around which the solid build quality, innovative use of an accelerometer, and comfortable fit add up to an...

Aliph Jawbone Era (2011)

Its case is slightly larger than the Icon's and curves to better fit the face and to ensure the Voice Activity sensor touches the cheek. TechRadar.com's reviewer sums up the Jawbone Era as "the only [headset] that you can look at and believe that...

Excellent HD-quality audio, Innovative motion-sensing technology, Extremely stylish, Excellent wind and noise reduction

No dedicated volume rocker switch, Uncomfortable earpiece
