I love it when technology not only works but looks great. Here’s one excellent example – the Jawbone Prime.

Although many were good, none have been able to properly deal with the two biggest gremlins that plague bluetooth headsets: background noise and echo. To date, it is only Jawbone who have done this effectively.
