The Jawbone PRIME in lime green. |
The PRIME headset features a unique undulating texture, crafted with high precision in 3-D to reflect the light and give a sense of movement to the exterior surfaces. The design has also been enhanced by a slight indication in the shield’s texture, a small tactile crease that indicates where the switch is located. The inside contour of the PRIME follows the curve of your face comfortably. And with three round Earbuds, three New Fit Earbuds and an optional earloop, you can choose what works best for your individual ear.

The Jawbone PRIME includes Multipoint functionality and can be simultaneously connected to two Bluetooth enabled devices. To charge the PRIME’s internal battery, you can use the included AC wall charger, or plug the USB cable into your computer (full charge takes approximately 50 minutes).
The Science Behind Jawbone PRIME
Originally developed for use in tanks and helicopters, Jawbone PRIME’s NoiseAssassin is a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone distinguish your voice from background noise. The NoiseAssassin 2.0 technology embedded in the PRIME delivers an order of magnitude improvement in the noisiest environments (6 to 9dB) extracting even more noise while keeping the user’s voice natural.
The Acoustic Voice Activity Detector (AVAD) provides a fail-safe mechanism when the Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) doesn’t touch your face. When the VAS is not touching the face, Jawbone PRIME performs as good as or better than any other noise-cancelling headset. When the VAS touches the face, you get the turbo-boost to the NoiseAssassin performance.

Worked great… minus a few caveats,
This is an honest review of the Jawbone Prime Bluetooth Headset Ear Candy Edition (Drop Me a Lime Green).
I ordered this through one of the “Daily Deals” so I got it for a very good price. It is an excellent/very good bluetooth headset. Let me first describe everything that is great about it:
- Best sound quality of all the BT headsets I’ve used (and I’ve gone through plenty). With the Jawbone Prime, I heard the person on the other end very clearly, and I was clear to the other person as well. No complaints from the other caller when I used this BT headset, unlike when I used the Motorola H500 or the Plantronics Explorer 220 and my voice is cut-off about 10-25% of the time. I was between this and the Plantronics Voyager Pro, and opted for the Jawbone Prime when the price came down.
- Very loud (or loud enough). I’ve set my phone’s earpiece volume to MED using this BT unit, whereas I have to set my phone up to HIGH using my other BT units.
- Best noise cancellation technology IMHO. I turned the feature on and off and called a few friends to directly compare the feature, and each of them was amazed with how well it works. It works with low-to-moderate background noise when you are in a car, in a store, in starbucks, etc. The Plantronics Voyager Pro comes a close second to the Jawbone Prime.
- It is lightweight and compact, so easy to store when not in use.
- Easy to put on. However, it may take a while to figure out the proper configuration to get it to stay in your ear. My suggestion is to first clean the part of your ear that will be in contact with this earpiece (easy, straight-forward, and logical). Next, put the earpiece part with loop at the 12-oclock position, then rotate so that the boom extends towards your mouth. This also ensures you the voice activity sensor (VAS) has proper contact with your cheek. But once it is on, it stays on.
- The earloop keeps the unit in place and prevents it from falling out of the ear, but the VAS doesn’t always stay flush with my cheek when using the earloop. I don’t use the earloop.
- Relatively easy to pair with my phones. I have it paired for my two cell phones (Multipoint). However, it will only connect to one phone at a time, so don’t be confused by this feature if you think you can connect to two phones simultaneously (like a conference call).
- The color! I have not misplaced this, and is so easy to spot among the clutter on my desk.
If I stopped here, I would have given this product 5-stars.
Now, the negatives:
- Finding the proper fit and configuration of the earbud may take a while. It is not as easy-to-use as the Voyager Pro. When using the earbud alone (without the earloop), it does not stay on and sometimes falls out. Because of this, I use it only when I am in my office, in the car, or at home and need to talk on the phone and do other things. I don’t wear it when I am walking or moving too much. If I need to use it while I am walking the dog, I use the earloop. Not a big deal, but it is an extra step to take.
- When it is very windy, the noise cancellation works too efficiently and the person on the other end cannot hear me. Also, I tried using it while driving a convertible, and the person on the other end cannot hear me at all.
- Finally, after three weeks of use, the power “button” gave out. The button is stuck on the pressed state. Now, I cannot press the button to answer a call, or to turn unit on/off. Once I got it on the “on” position, I just left it on. I am trying to exchange it, and will update when it happens.
The top two “cons” would drop the rating down half a star. The last “con” may be isolated to this unit alone and not to all of the units. However, because it is something that happened to me, I will have to include it in my review and rating for the product. Also, in my attempt to exchange this for the same product, Amazon will not allow me to exchange this unit because it is “no longer in stock”. I assume it is not in stock with Amazon.com, but available from merchants who sell through Amazon (but not eligible for Amazon Prime). I want the same unit, but because it is out of stock, Amazon will only allow a RETURN. I purchased this on one of the “Daily Deals” so if I tried to purchase it now, it will cost me an extra $25-45 (plus shipping). I would rather wait for another unit to be available that is eligible for Amazon Prime, and use one of my older BT headsets. I actually did not factor in this particular “con” for the product star-rating, since it is more of a criticism of Amazon/Seller rather than the product.
