Using The Jawbone Looking at the headset itself, the main body is hardly larger than a stick of gum and about one half-inch thick. It has the trademark Jawbone pattern of interspersed lines cut from the shiny black outer fascia - fashionistas will be glad to know this headset also comes in silver and red. Towards the back of the headset, a thin lightbar along the width of the headset gives white, red, and green indicator lights, and the front and back parts of the headset divided by this lightbar are actually buttons in and of themselves; squeeze each part and they click. The purpose of these two buttons is not immediately obvious, so it would benefit the new owner of this headset to read the manual. The functionality is a bit complex, but can be learned in several minutes. The long and the short of it is that the two buttons when depressed can be used to pair the headset, turn it on and off, and activate or deactivate the noise cancellation system, but when pressed once can be used to take and end calls or adjust the volume - not too bad. The metal and rubber earloop encircles the back of the ear, and the earbud fits securely in the ear, and one could probably go for a jog and not be weighed down or worried about the headset falling off. A tiny rubber nub on the backside of the headset rests on the cheek, and allows the noise cancellation system to tell when the user is talking.
