On a basic level, the earpiece will read out caller ID or the phone number and either take or end the call by speaking “answer” or “ignore.” Many phone you can also start a call through speaking the name or number, and Jabra’s app platform opens the option of voice-guided e-mail, searches, social networking and text messages.

The Stone2 only lasts for about two hours of talking when detached due to its thin profile but can work for an additional eight hours when plugged into the charger and serving as a speakerphone. Rapid charging the headset up to a full charge in as little as 20 minutes.
The headset will be an AT&T exclusive and should be in its stores on November 21 for $129 in both smooth and leather-effect finishes.
