I’ve always said, I love pretty tech. My laptop is wrapped in a bright red plastic case. My BlackBerry is pink (still haven’t gone iPhone yet) and my iPod nano has orange skin.
So it seems only natural that I would want my hands-free Bluetooth headset in a color described as “Lilac You Mean It” or “Drop Me a Lime.” Starting May 2, Jawbone’s popular and technologically superior headset—which really is better described as earwear—will be sold for the first time in four tasty colors: red, yellow, green and purple.
This new release is dubbed Jawbone Prime with Ear Candy and claims to be superior to earlier versions with better audio quality and improved comfort. Several months ago I tested and reviewed an earlier version of the Jawbone headset with Noise Assassin and found it true to its claims. Not a single screaming toddler was heard by the person on the other end of the line and I felt a new found freedom talking hands free.
But pretty ear candy like this does not come cheap. The suggested retail price is around $130 and that could mean more for the accessory than the phone itself.
