I have paired and connected my discovery 975 headset to my mac lap top but the sound is not working, my mac gives me the message, under the sound output window: “the selected device has no output controls.”

Any ideas????

Q, the leather patch looks so predominant in my review because the pics are so macro. In real life, it is honestly not bad at all; think of a leather couch with metal accents.

I really, really like this headset except for one thing–the leather panel on the side. It just looks out of place to me. (Of course, I feel the same way about the leather back on the BlackBerry Bold.) The leather charging case, on the other hand, is fine by me.

I might get this anyway, since I don’t have another contender for a new headset at the moment; I just really hope Plantronics will release a non-leather version.

Hi Clymmer – I’ve only used the first Jawbone, and I think this is far superior. I’ve used this one outdoors, and in regular wind (I live on top of a breezy hill), there was no problem. On days when it is extremely windy (or if you are standing in front of a fan ), then the wind wins.

Sorry I can’t be more specific, but it has been ages since I used a Jawbone, but I can say that I prefer the way the 975 looks over either of the Jawbone styles.

Very interesting unit!

How would you rate the noise cancellation as compared to the Aliph Jawbone offerings? I have the original and find myself saying, “meh” to other earpieces that I try because the noise cancellation is so strong.

That being said, the one downfall of the original Jawbone (can’t speak for the newer ones) is wind. Any wind (light breeze on up) wins every time.

Ha! You are lucky that I don’t review them that often, then.

But seriously, you should be pretty happy with this one, should you sprint for it. I really love the design, and the charging case is such a great thing to have.

Thanks Judie. Another great review. But please stop! I have drunk the Kool-Aid and am now addicted to your pursuit of the ideal ear roach. I buy a new BT headset every time you review one. Help me stop the madness!
