I have a new piece of tech that I absolutely love. It is a Jawbone® ICON Rogue. This lightweight Jawbone® Bluetooth headset has solved a major problem for me. I am a podcast junkie. I listen to sixteen different podcasts. I’m constantly listening to them as I work and on my rides to and from work. The problem is that many podcasts are recorded really low and having a headphones on while I listen to them is fine but being in the car they are hard to hear. This problem has been solved by the Jawbone® ICON Rogue.

I am able to put the Jawbone® ICON in my ear and listen to podcasts to my heart’s content, anytime anywhere. The reason for this is the app I downloaded to the headset, yes an app for it! You can check out all the apps at MyTalk. You can personalize the software on your ICON very easily.

I’ve used the Jawbone® ICON Rogue to not only listen to podcast but also to do a Sykpe call on my Droid which worked perfectly. Phone calls are crystal clear too because of NoiseAssassin® which is military-grade noise-eliminating technology. This is great news because I make a lot of calls in the car and being able to hear everything is key. On the other side the people I have talked with hear me perfectly as well.

So, I was given two of these Jawbone® ICONs. I got to keep one of them and I am able to give one of them away, to you! More on that later.

I was so impressed by the packaging for the Jawbone® ICON. The headset itself was on a display stand and below that was a compartment with all the accessories like different ear piece cushions, there are three sizes for both in the ear and over the ear options. I initially thought I needed the smallest size so it would fit nice and snuggly in my ear. I was wrong, I needed the largest size and the fit is perfect. I don’t need to worry about it falling out and I don’t need to use the over the ear option to secure it.

another thing I love about the Jawbone® Bluetooth headset is that I can charge it via USB. There is a wall plug provided and it is a small stealthy one, which is awesome. I’m just so impressed that the headset can be plugged into any USB port and be charged. It makes it so much easier when I travel. Everything comes in that great package. Such thought was put into this product.

I’m running a contest from now till Father’s Day to give away the second Jawbone® ICON Bluetooth headset. This one is called the Hero.

I decided to give this one away because Dads are Heroes and I’d like to hear more about how your Dad is a Hero. So that is the contest.
