Reviewers agree that the Aliph Jawbone Prime is one of the most stylish Bluetooth headsets, but most experts say that the Plantronics Voyager Pro (*Est. $60) has better noise-cancellation technology. The Jawbone Prime's NoiseAssassin technology has been improved to include wind reduction, and most reviewers find that the Jawbone Prime is better at blocking wind interference. Like the last version of the Jawbone Bluetooth headset, battery life is on the short side, and many reviewers complain that the control buttons are poorly placed and hard to find. It's also on the pricey side. Where it comes out ahead is in looks -- most reviewers find the Plantronics Voyager Pro's design to be clunky while the Jawbone Prime is judged sleeker. The latest Aliph headset, the Aliph Jawbone Icon (*Est. $40) beats the Plantronics model on both style and noise cancellation.
Gadget review sites such as CNET, PCMag.com and Laptop Magazine offer in-depth reviews of the Aliph Jawbone Prime. User reviews on Amazon.com are scarce, but offer perspective on long-term use.

The Aliph Jawbone Prime gets a positive review at CNET but doesn't receive an Editors' Choice award, as the previous Aliph Jawbone did. Nicole Lee is impressed with its stylish look and improved noise-cancellation technology, but she's not thrilled with its "hidden" buttons.

The Aliph Jawbone Prime also gets a high rating at PCMag.com, but it does not receive the Editor's Choice award -- that honor goes to competitor Plantronics Voyager Pro. Segan likes the headset's "top-notch wind noise cancelation," but is disappointed that the battery life falls an hour short of Aliph's estimate of four and a half hours.

Editor Aoife M. McEvoy says the Aliph Jawbone Prime "sets the standard" in Bluetooth headsets, praising its excellent call quality and comfort, while criticizing its high price. One of McEvoy's favorite things about the device is that the ear loops are removable, an important consideration for those who wear glasses.
