Ear Say

Jawbone Prime Bluetooth Headset

Caller: Hi. Can you talk?

You: What? The baby’s screaming. Can you hear me?

Caller: Clear as a bell. I’m wearing my new Jawbone Prime.

You: What’s that? A kind of face cream?

Caller: It’s a wireless headset from Aliph, a personal technology company here in the city.

You: Sorry. I was nursing the baby and dropped my phone. It’s impossible to hold it while getting him to latch.

Caller: This gizmo stays put in your ear and has even better noise cancellation than its predecessor. You could be calling in to a meeting at work while pushing the stroller in the wind at Crissy Field and they’d never know.

You: Wait. The baby was crying. I’m back. Did I lose you?

Caller: No. Just your hearing.

You: What?

Caller: Never mind.
