Jawbone ICON HD is a headset that offers the richest HD audio and, with The NERD, it brings plug & play connectivity to any USB-equipped computer. Using them together, you can simultaneously connect with any two devices (laptop, phone, tablet) and seamlessly switch between audio (music, video, games, & more) and calls (mobile & VoIP).

Jawbone Companion for Android is Jawbone?s latest application for Android users that allows Android users to view their headset’s remaining battery life on their phone, and dial-in to conference calls on their calendar, directly from their Jawbone headset.
