Get a Jawbone Bluetooth Headset for $59

jawbone2.jpgElectronics e-tailer eCost has the popular Jawbone Bluetooth headset on sale for $59, which is half the original list price.

As you may know, an increasing number of states (most recently California) are requiring drivers to use some kind of hands-free technology -- headset or speakerphone -- while behind the wheel.

The Jawbone earned an 8.7 rating from CNET for its stylish design and stellar noise-canceling capabilities. Users were a bit less enthusiastic, mostly due to the awkward fit and difficulty pressing the buttons. I use a Jawbone myself and agree with the criticisms, but also think that once you've managed to wiggle the sucker onto your ear, there's no better headset in terms of audio quality.

The $59 price is for a new unit in OEM packaging. I think it's a great deal on one of the best Bluetooth headsets on the market.
