Cingular Wireless and Aliph Introduce Jawbone™ Bluetooth Headset featuring Noise Shield® Technology

Noise is nothing with the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset, which is available exclusively from Cingular Wireless–just in time for the holidays. Aliph, a leading developer of mobile audio products that deliver exceptional quality in any environment, and Cingular Wireless, the nation’s largest wireless carrier, today introduced the new Jawbone headset for Bluetooth mobile phones. Jawbone™ is the first adaptive Bluetooth headset with Noise Shield® technology, which virtually eliminates background noise so calls are clearer. Jawbone’s audio performance is further enhanced by an award-winning design by internationally acclaimed product designer Yves Béhar, which maximizes comfort and functional simplicity.

Ambient noise is often an issue with many headsets and can make conversations difficult in noisier environments. The Jawbone Bluetooth headset with Noise Shield technology uses an advanced, military-grade noise-canceling system that continuously adapts to users’ changing environments to deliver unparalleled audio quality.

The Noise Shield technology was originally developed by Aliph for DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to enhance communications in the most hostile and rugged environments. This technology includes an intelligent system of sensors and software, which continuously adjusts—at a rate of 500 times per second—to improve audio quality based on what it knows about the environment.
