Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Need new Bluetooth Headset

I learned it from longtime residents at lunch today. Also, here's a linky. And another.

My Dad has a jawbone. It both isolates outside sound going into your ear, and only transmits actual sounds coming from your mouth, so even people on the other end can hear you in noisy environments.

It has this little rubbery "nub" that rests against your cheek, and uses that as a mic, so that has something to do with it figuring out what noises are from your mouth and what noises aren't. Pretty cool. I can tell when my dad is calling from his jawbone vs. his phone mic too.

Thanks Dan,

That's pretty much what I read about them. A new concept that actually works well. I have also heard that the listener on the other side hears a kind of robotic tone to the wearer's voice. Would you agree? Not really a concern for me as all reviews say the funny tone is preferable to not being able to hear the person.

Besides who doesn't want to sound like a robot??
