jawbone.jpgYou know those really, really annoying people who wear Bluetooth headsets and talk really loudly. Well with the new Jawbone you won't be one of them. It features military tech to cut out 90 per cent of unwanted noise so you no longer need to scream like a banshee.

The super high-tech headset is the closest you'll ever get to WMD's, that is unless you're reading this from Guantanamo Bay, somehow.  

Using military-grade NoiseAssasin gadgetry it virtually exterminates outside noises found in areas like busy streets or the pub jukebox.  

"Our goal is always to create an elegant fusion of performance and user-focused design.  The new Jawbone delivers on the promise of mobility by allowing people to make calls from noisy environments, such as cars and airports, with a device that fits in with the way you live, " said Alexander Asseily, chairman and co-founder of Aliph.  

NoiseAssassin was originally developed for DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), which creates new technology for the U.S. military.  It was designed to work in tough, battlefield environments, where it can be somewhat difficult to carry out a conversation when the other team is trying to kill you with rather large weaponry. Something tells us it will work just fine on the bus or train then.   

It's also 50 per cent smaller than the original Jawbone, so any fears of having Dumbo-sized ears after prolonged use can be put to bed.  

The military-grade headset has a talk time of four hours with a standby of more than eight days and comes with a magnetic charging base.  

Interested parties and military commanders can pick it up at The Carphone Warehouse for £79.99.  

And be sure to check out the rather titillating, yet shocking promo.
