I love my new Jawbone…the larger one is the one that I have…but, I have already broken both of the ear loops and I had give the two for my other ear to my son, who highly recommends Jawbone, and he had broken his as well. How do I find a solution for this problem?
I do recommend the Jawbone to all of my business
associates…but now embarrassed because of the broken earpieces…and, they are hard to get on and off for me…..Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!

I have trouble getting any earbud style device to stay in my ear. I had a Jabra BT550 and using the longer ear gel worked very well because it stuck way into my ear. I just purchased the Jawbone 2 and even with the smallest gel it feels like it will fall out. I’ve seen the suggestion to use the Jabra gels on the Jawbone, but I don’t understand how that would work because the Jabra gels are made for a right angle mount vs. the Jawbone shooting straight into the ear.

I did not like the jawbone but will now try the motorola. We use the headpiece 8 to 10 hours a day in our business marketing high deductible health plans over the net.

I had the Jawbome about six weeks. It came apart at the barrel end while I was removing the earloop. I called Jawbone they did an exchange for me. Overall I like their product, it’s good quality. The have excellent customer service.

Had the Jawbone. As a headset it is very good in performance. However, the same can’t be said for it’s quality. After just a few days of usage, the metal earpiece hook-part tarnished into this rough and dull looking color and feel.

For a $1xx headset, this shouldn’t happen.

If you don’t like the Jawbone, try the next best headset, the Blueant Z9. To me, I hate the size and fit of the Jawbone, but the Z9 is tiny. It’s about the size of the Jabra JX-10, but the noise cancellation this Z9 does is second only to the jawbone.

I bought my jawbone and was having volume problems too. My grandfather suggested i take it to a hearing aid company and get a impression of my ear. They made a piece to fit the jawbone and i can hear great. In fact i have the volume at about half and its still nice and loud.

Anyone want to buy a Jawbone? I have the same problem Howard described. People hear me just fine, but I can’t hear them. The Jawbone’s volme doesn’t go high enough and I am not going to ask the other person to shout. I have found the best thing in a noisy environment is ….. SMS.

Alternatively, you can gently bend the earloop so that it fits snugger around your ear. Please make sure when you are bending it that you are holding only the earloop and not the earloop and the Jawbone. If you have no counter pressure on the earloop and are pushing back on the actual Jawbone, you may break the ear barrel of the Jawbone.

The jawbone earloop can be bent to fit more snugly to your face. If you drop it in a pocket it may get bent by error and you must be prepared to carefully realign it. It works best in putting it on to place it next to your ear and rotate the whole thing counter clockwise like you are screwing a bottle cap on a bottle . This allows the fear loop to gracefully move arund your ear without trying to bnd it into place.

Pulling at the ear piece in cold weather while taking it off can break the wire ear loop ;.>(

Be gentle to make it last. We love these with the new iPhone. Several of us have bought these jawbones for use while driving diesel trucks.
