The manufacturer Aliph is definitely making some noise in the Bluetooth accessories world. With its new Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset with NoiseAssassin it is paving the way for next generation Bluetooth accessories. But where did they get this edge? They actually got it from the military. It really should come as no shock considering how many other products have crossed over into the private sector from military use. How often do you use the Internet? It was a development of the military. And take a look at the people driving Hummers. That too was a military invention born of necessity in the combat field.

The technology behind the Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset with NoiseAssassin is phenomenal. One of the features is Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) which allows the Jawbone 2 to “feel” your speech and distinguishes it from background noise. This means that no matter how noisy it is in the background, your voice is coming through with crystal clear clarity. Aliph has trademarked this technology so you will not find it in any other Bluetooth headset.

Now on to the NoiseAssassin portion of the Jawbone 2. The NoiseAssassin is actually part of the Voice Activity Sensor. It was developed through military research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) so that background noise would be eliminated from the conversation. As mentioned above, the Voice Activity Sensor works by enhancing your voice. The NoiseAssassin uses Digital Signal Processing algorithms to feel the speech vibrations from your jaw. It also works to eliminate background noise from the other person’s end to give you clear sound when you are listening to someone speak.

If you are worried about having a bulky Bluetooth headset, you do not have to worry about it any longer. The Jawbone 2 with NoiseAssassin is very sleek and streamlined. Even the buttons to adjust the caller volume are “invisible” so you have a headset that looks just as great as it functions. And it comes with several different ear pieces so you get the correct fit. That is a great addition considering that not all ear shapes are alike and some of the other Bluetooth headsets can cause discomfort.

The Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset with NoiseAssassin is a phenomenal device that truly delivers on everything the product specifications say. That is a true rarity in today’s market. Users are ecstatic over the cost as well. You can find it for less than $100 in many online retail stores. Plus you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have a warranty to back it up.
