Get a Jawbone 2 Bluetooth headset for $49.99

The headset offered by CellHut is refurbished, but it's also one of the top-rated ones on the market. In terms of sound quality and noise cancellation features, it has no equal.

Most techno-weenies like myself will tell you that the Jawbone 2 is the gold standard for Bluetooth headsets. Sure, it has a couple design quirks, but in terms of sound quality and noise-cancellation features, it has no equal.

But the $129.99 price tag? Ouch! Fortunately, CellHut has refurbished Jawbone 2 headsets on sale for $49.99 shipped. (Make sure to use coupon code D2BALPJW2D.)

As you can see in the above video, CNET liked the Jawbone 2 a lot, ultimately awarding it the coveted Editors' Choice.

I'll second that. (Cheapskates' Choice? Hmmm...sounds too much like a bad brand of coffee.) Of all the headsets I've tried, the Jawbone 2 is definitely my favorite. The lack of decent volume control is a hassle, but the superb fit and sound quality more than make up for it.

Thus, if you're in the market for a headset and don't mind a refurbished unit (I can't find any details on the warranty, so assume 90 days), this is the deal to beat.

Agree? Disagree? What's your preference when it comes to headsets? I'll admit that there are times when I think a wired one is the way to go. Share your thoughts below.

Update: It's already out of stock, slowpokes, but have no fear: An outfit called N1wireless also has the Jawbone 2 (with one-year warranty) for $49.99. But shipping will run you $9, dangit.
