This headset was absolutely amazing. I didn't believe it could eliminate background noise so well. The true test was when I dried my hair, using a blowdryer on full blast. I was using the Jawbone, and while my boyfriend said that he could hear the hair dryer just for a split second, when I first turned it on, seconds later he said he could hear nothing, and we were talking with no problems. I couldn't really hear so well, of course, but the point is that he could not even hear it when I was blowing the hairdryer in the direction of the Jawbone. I would recommend, and HAVE been doing so, this product to anyone.
