Aliph Jawbone

Juniper Foo | Jul 23, 2004

Hearing is believing with the Aliph Jawbone, a noise-canceling headset for handphones due out in the fall. San Francisco-based design and branding firm Fuseproject has certainly revolutionalized headsets as we've known them, changing the look, comfort and functionality completely. For mobile-toting Singaporeans, the Jawbone should come as a boon as it deploys active noise suppression technology to allow the user to yak on his mobile in any loud setting, while filtering out unwanted noise, whether it's in a kopi tiam or pub. Worn around the user's ear, the device has a jawbone sensor which rests against the contours of the face to sense when the mouth is moving, all the while looking like high-octane ear vogue.
