Hands down this is the best Bluetooth headset I've used if anyone is looking for one

+1 on that.

I have had every version of the Jawbone BT headset from Aliph. Each one was better then the previous model, but the Icon trumps them all. With the ability to download and install custom "apps" from the Jawbone website, makes it the most versatile BT headset I have used (and I have tried many). I love having the audio from music, movies, games, etc. come through my Icon using the A2DP app.

I have owned all 3 versions of the aliph jawbone so far and I have loved them all. I am going to get the new icon as well, I just got to find a good deal since my girl wants one as well.

Yeah, I been checking the prices on ebay for the last 2 weeks and they seem to have come down a bit since then. Personally I am gonna get the ace for myself and the rogue for my girl.

I purchased the Jawbone JB2 last week from Costco for my EVO. Sounded great on my end, but every caller complained about the echo. Sadly, it went back...

I sadly lost my first ICON but loved it so much I had to back and purchase another one the thing is awesome. If I could just get Voice Dialing to work. I don't even understand the voice dial you can supposedly download on to the actual bluetooth. Man what if voice dial and that cool voice to text feature worked

Well, with all the hype, I had to go and take the 30 day challenge... I'm on day 2 and have already decided to keep it...

This headset has by far the best sound quality and design I have seen to date. Calls are crystal clear even in windy conditions... I was walking around outside on a call yesterday, it was a bit windy, and the caller on the other end never once asked me if I was outside or complained about wind noise...

I find Jawbone to be very innovative with their apps and am looking forward to see what else they come out with in the future. I installed the A2DP and music is playing perfectly... It was playing really low at first until I read their support forum to find you can use the call button (Press and hold) to increase it... Now it's near perfect!

I do wish the would come out with a stereo add-on that could possibly connect to the MicroUSB port... Similar to the Plantronics Voyager 855...

Otherwise, this is by far one of the best BT Headsets I have used...

Do you guys use the ear loop with it, or the ear pieces with the loop on them?

I'm have a hard time dialing in the fit on the icon, the ear pieces with the loops still bother my ear at times, and the ear loop is ok but not the greatest (Plus I hate having them on because they bend or detach when thrown into pockets) the prime felt more natural because it was longer and it me better.
