Jawbone has just released the newest addition to its line of Bluetooth headset devices. The ERA, which comes after the Icon and Icon HD headset series, is Jawbone’s lightest headset to date, and sports a number of colors and casing textures to choose from. Jawbone’s Bluetooth technology extends to its popular line of Jambox portable speakers and UP wearable fitness and activity trackers, but the ERA represents a revived interest in and refined functionality for the mobile phone headset.
The ERA features 4 hours of talk time battery life, with an optional charging case that adds an additional 6 hours of battery life. The ERA is not limited to phone calls only; it can also stream music, podcasts, and audio from video conference apps such as Skype or Google Hangouts. The proprietary Jawbone apps allows for customized commands and user-specific interaction with Siri and voice control. The app also supports GPS location of a lost headset, calendar notifications, and conference calling.
The kicker feature of the ERA is the military-grade noise cancellation technology called NoiseAssassin, which recognizes and differentiates the human voice from ambient and background noise. This makes the ERA ideal for use when users are on the go in cities, or driving with excessive traffic noise.
The ERA is now retailing for $130.00.
