If you’re anything like me, the last thing you want to be doing on your smart phone is actually holding it to your head. We’ve come a long way since the days of the my clamshell flip phone, yet we’ve quite possibly taken a step backwards in regards to comfort in making a basic call with just our phones. Couple in the handsfree laws in most states these days, and a bluetooth headset is an outright necessity.

I’ve become a big fan of the Jawbone series, and the new ERA is no exception. As an owner of their previous ICON series, I was curious to see what improvements the last year had brought.
