While Aliph was announcing (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/aliph-jawbone-icon-bluetooth-headset-launched-in-six-lush-flavors/) its luxurious Jawbone Icon (http://www.engadget.com/tag/jawbone+icon) Bluetooth headsets earlier today, we've been playing with one of its six designs -- The Ace -- at our cozy London pad. Being the smallest and lightest Jawbone ever, the Icon's obviously challenging the likes of Jabra Stone (http://www.engadget.com/tag/jabra+stone/) with attempts to outperform in noise elimination, battery life, ergonomics and ease of operation. On paper, the Icon already wins on battery life and price, although the Stone has a charging dock good for six extra hours. What really matters, though, is the usability -- something the Stone had little of in a noisy environment. Read on to find out if Aliph has done it right.
