RAM®d, I see that you, too, are one who leaves the headset turned on, but lying around somewhere. I also see that you collect headsets, you have more than one. Same here! I have multiple wired and wireless headsets.
With the Bluetooth ones, I tend to have the opposite problem than what you guys describe. I am careful not to set an earpiece down somewhere, then walk away from it, without turning it off first. Setting it down is risky anyway, it's asking for trouble, especially if you're not at home. I fear losing it in some public place, or while i'm out and about.
At home, I'm more likely to walk away with the headset in my ear, on, but drift away from my phone. I'll have a call come in, but not realize I've wandered out of range, and don't immediately know where I set down my iPhone. If I'm in range, I can simply accept the call with a touch of my finger. Better to walk away from the phone than the headset.
My complaint about the Jawbone is the limited number of things you can do by touching it when receiving, or during a call. I've had other headsets that offer more options, easier volume control, multiple clicks doing different things. But the thing I like best about it is the superior audio quality, and discreet profile. I like that they improved the earpiece, to that the ear loop is no longer needed. It's the most comfortable headset I've owned. It's also very small, and easy to lose track of.
