Connects to Multiple Phones
Simultaneous Multipoint means that your Jawbone ICON can manage two calls from two different phones at the same time. For example, you can be on a call with your personal phone and then answer a call on your work phone and seamlessly switch between each call. Jawbone ICON handles the experience with the simplicity of traditional call-waiting.
Power Freedom
Jawbone ICON uses standard micro-USB charging technology, so you don’t have to carry more cables!
Super Easy to Use
Easy-to-operate On/Off slide switch and one simple-to-use button lets anyone and everyone use their Jawbone ICON with unparalleled ease.
Best NoiseAssassin Ever
Originally developed for military use in tanks and helicopters, NoiseAssassin 2.5 with wind reduction is a proprietary technology that eliminates background noise from mobile phone conversations. Jawbone ICON is the only Bluetooth headset with a Voice Activity Sensor (VAS) that actually feels your speech, which helps Jawbone ICON distinguish your voice from background noise.
Innovative Wind Reduction Technology
Be free to keep your conversation going while walking down a gusty street because our team of scientists developed a unique Digital Sensor Signal Fusion system to reduce wind noise. ICON uses an algorithm that digitally fuses together the best audio from its two electret microphones and its patented Voice Activity Sensor to create a single, natural sounding speech signal.
Set It and Forget It Audio
Unlike other headsets, Jawbone ICON allows you to set your volume on one call and Jawbone ICON will remember the volume level until you change it again!

Nice, but it does not seem to fit on the ear right,
I have tried every single one of the other ear pieces, but for some reason this thing does not sit on my ear right. It works great, but I think its just me that it does seem to fit correctly. It really does a great job of telling you how much talk time is left. I left it in my car for days and it still holds a great charge. On/Off switch is really useful, and the pairing is pretty easy.
BEST HEADSET EVER!,
The Jawbone Icon is the best bluetooth headset I have ever owned. A long time ago, I used to have a Motorola bluetooth headset and I loved it. I purchased the H270 Motorola bluetooth headset and thought I would love it. I ended up returning it because the Jawbone is a far superior product. The Motorola only lets you hear phone calls through the headpiece and not any audio, such as iPod or videos. The Jawbone is an ‘in ear’ headpiece and the Motorla was not. I prefer the ‘in ear’ headset.
Pros
1. Very small and lightweight
2. Talks to you and tells you how much remaining talk time there is
3. Displays a battery meter on the iPhone next to the battery meter of the phone
4. BEST FEATURE – you can listen to ALL audio through the headset, not only phone calls, including the iPod and any videos you are watching
5. Very quick to recharge
6. You can charge via USB on the computer or direct electrical outlet
7. You can customize the voice that speaks to you
Cons
1. Short battery life, approx 4 hours
2. You have to push very hard to insert the USB connection to charge it

Resets when call waiting beeps,
Works well, good call clarity and battery life.
Changed out the ear piece for the gel ones – comfortable fit.
Only drawback is the dang thing resets when I have call waiting beep in.
I have it connected to an Iphone 4 and a Verizon HTC – works flawlessly in connecting to both.
