Nothing says "I'm Cool" quite like a piece of plastic hanging out of your ear....But, if it frees your hands to do more important stuff like "drive", it can be worth a little fashion faux pas here and there. I picked up the latest Jawbone ERA Bluetooth headset the other day and I must say it's very impressive. I want to first start out by stating the obvious. As most of you who use Bluetooth headsets know, they aren't perfect, but this one comes close. The size of this Bluetooth headset is larger than previous and most models out there, but this was something I liked initially about it. Usually if something is small, thin and light, it isn't too far from also being cheap and unimpressive. Well, the new Jawbone ERA is still light, but the bigger size yields to its more efficient and larger speaker. Also, this Bluetooth is smart. Touch the back and it will tell you how much battery power is left "About 5 hours of talk time remaining". It also features customizations like changing the speaking voice and telling you the name of the person that is calling. It supports HD audio and sound. Even though it's just playing in one ear, it's nice having audio from your PC or phone coming right to your bluetooth headset. I previously owned the Jawbone Prime and this is a major step-up from that model. Very reliable, and great acoustics! Pick one up for $130 at your local retailer.
