Aliph Jawbone headset
CNET Rating: 8.6 out of 10   
The good: Exceptional sound quality; adaptive noise cancellation; comfortable fit; eye-catching design.
The bad: Clunky cord setup; loose-fitting phone connector; a bit on the pricey side.
The bottom line: If you're looking for a cool, wired headset and have the cash, you can't go wrong with Aliph's Jawbone.

CNET Review

In the world of cell phone headsets, many users stay with the simple earbud models that come with their phone. While this may save you some bucks, you're usually stuck with poor sound quality. Fortunately, there are alternatives, and while Bluetooth headsets claim a monopoly on cool, they needn't get all the glory. Offering an outstanding mix of comfort, style, and performance, the Aliph Jawbone is far superior to competing wired models. As this is no ordinary headset, you'll pay a premium. That said, for US$145, you do get what you pay for. As of press time, the Jawbone works only with Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Nokia handsets, but compatibility for more mobiles is in the works.
