Aliph ICON retail packaging
Aliph released their latest Jawbone headset, the ICON, that builds on their Bluetooth voice technology with a software platform for customization and personalization. The ICON comes in six different personalities to fit your style. The MSRP is $30 less than previous models and packaging is 100% recyclable. The headset is comfortable for hours of use and sound quality is excellent.

The Rogue and Jawbone 2 comparison
Here is a size comparison between the Jawbone 2 and new ICON.
First connection pop-up
When you first connect to the MyTALK service you will be prompted to install a small utility on your PC or Mac to make the connection.
Managing Advanced Settings
These are the Advanced Settings you have available on your ICON.
Audio Apps
You can choose from the six personalities, the default, and foreign languages (Spanish, French, and German) to have installed on your ICON.
Dial Apps
There are a few available Dial Apps and some require 3rd party accounts and subscriptions to use all of the features.
ICON CATCH
The CATCH model has a pearl white outside.
ICON BOMBSHELL
The BOMBSHELL looks more like a piece of jewelry than a headset.
ICON ACE
The ACE has a reflective back with a clear outer shield so it will actually change with your surroundings and appear like a chameleon.
ICON THINKER
The THINKER has a white color style to it.
ICON ROGUE
The ROGUE has a reddish background and clear outer shield. As you hold it in light the red will shine through in different ways.
THE HERO
The HERO has a bit more traditional look to the older Jawbone headsets and still looks classy and businesslike at the same time.

This bad shot of me driving shows the size of the headset in relation to fairly standard sized head.
