Default Bluetooth headset for top-down driving...

I'm looking for a bluetooth headset that will work on the highway with the top down and its associated background and wind noise. My current BT headset picks up WAY too much noise...callers say I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel even with the windows cracked.

Has anyone found one that works well?

I searched, and this topic was discussed 2 years ago without much concensus...I'm hoping that a product has come out recently that solves this problem.

Thanks!

Jawbone

This unit has active noise cancellation that eliminates background noise.

I've got the jawbone and it works great! Your voice will sound a little digitized to the person on the otherside of the phone but it's the background noise is virtually eliminated. The other aspect I like is that the volume is pretty decent, the dislike is the power cord. Wish it had a mini-USB plug instead.

along this same topic, are there any bluetooth headsets that let you use one headset on two phones?

I haven't found one, but would rather just have a headset in the car instead of fumbling around with both of my phones...

I own the Jawbone, and it is the best I have found yet. I will give it a try with the top down tonight and will report my results (bought it for the wife, and she never uses it, so I think I will commondere it...).

Our Jawbone came with a USB attachment (not mini-USB), so it can be charged via laptop, just no by the phone, which has such a mediocre life anyway, you would probably not want to take any from it...
