For the last week I've been playing with Jawbone's latest Bluetooth headset, the ERA tm . Marketed as the smallest, lightest, most comfortable headset that Jawbone has created, it makes some bold claims. I'm perhaps not the best person to review a Bluetoo...
Putting that annoyance to one side, the Era was a pleasure to use. I especially loved the quality of the audio when on calls. Double microphones and the results of some amazing research into noise cancellation mean that the Era pretty much blocks everythi...

Jawbone may have moved into the fitness space in recent years, but it’s not forgotten its roots. In fact, it’s returning to them with the new Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset out today. This is no mere update to the 2011 model - at 42 percent smaller, it’...
Well hello there. We still can’t bring ourselves to call any earpiece attractive, but this is as close as they come. Barely an inch long, with its slightly ridged edges, it looks a little bit like a Quality Street chocolate, in muted colour (red, black, bronze or silver are your options). Three sizes of earbud cover mean it can comfortably fit for most people, and as importantly stay comfortable...
Of course, with a smaller profile comes less space to fit a battery. That 10 hour battery life Jawbone is claiming is legit, but split between the headset itself (four hours) and the small charging carry case, which you could attach to a keyring, or if you were really keen, your belt. That’s not a huge issue, but do be aware that extra charge time will cost you extra: the Jawbone Era solo costs £...

Hands-free connections for mobile phones have come a long way from wired earpiece-and-microphone combos. Mind you, it’s still a comic pleasure to see people using these as they hold the microphone near their mouths just to be sure. The arrival of Bluet...
The Era is the latest in a great series of Bluetooth earpieces. It’s small and light, powerful and, best of all, reliable. Once it’s paired, it stays paired. Once in your ear, it’ll stay put (though don’t just wear it indiscriminately, that just looks...
