We have unanimously agreed that most Bluetooth headsets are unflattering, and designers are taking heed. I think this year we'll see headsets take on more attractive shapes, sizes, and colors, all in the name of style. Everyone's taking notice of the new Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset designed by Yves Behar, designer of the infamous XO laptop for the One Laptop Per Child program, and for good reasons.

What's so appealing about this particular headset, aside from its sexy looks, is the military-grade noise canceling technology that adjusts your call's volume after measuring ambient noise around you. This means you're able to hear those phone conversations over loud traffic, and your party is able to hear you once the smart headset filters out excessive background noise. The perforated metal design looks like it would be cold against your skin, but you have nothing to worry about since the inside surface is made from medical-grade plastic for a smooth, warm feel against your face. Eyeglass wearers can detach the ear loop for a comfortable fit, which is a plus in my book. Look for it at your local Cingular store for about $120.

    I have been using the Jawbone now for a month and can absolutely say it is well worth the money, especially with the 30 day money back promise from, Verizon, if not satisfied. I use it with the Motorola razor and is completely compatible.
