This, more than any other factor, should warn anyone away from the new company. To give some perspective, older model Jawbone earphones were so good that when the quality in the newer models began its terminal decline, a lot of customers, myself included, were so unbelieving we all kept buying and returning the new models. You can see it from the Amazon reviews. I finally accepted they were not coming back from their decline, and started looking for a new manufacturer. The closest one I could find with the same quality sound that I had come to love from the old Jawbones were $1K USD sets that were super bulky, made for the military. If I knew Jawbone would have tanked their quality so badly, I would have stocked up on more of the older models off of eBay (which were selling for more than retail at one point). I'm hoping a pair of AirPods will bring me back to the wireless earphone user base. If any other Jawbone readers found they experienced the same as I described and found a great replacement, then please reply here.
