I have been using Jabra BT250 for years, but found it unacceptable with the S top down.

I tried their latest invention BT800 with noise cancellation processor. Under noisy driving condition, it kicks in so often and cuts out my voice so much. I don't find it useful at all.

I've got the moto v710, and I use the hs820, Although difficult to hear with the windows down(obviously) I've had good success with the windows rolled up. However, if you're on the phone with clients, I dont expect that any headset will do a great job at noise cancelling wind buffetting. But for me, everyday phone calls are fine as long as the windows are up. However, because it has more of an open ear design, instead of IN the ear design, it can be difficult to hear every now and then.

i love bluetooth devices and have a bunch of experiences with them. been through bt250, bt800, hsb10, hsb50 and more. with the top down and the windows down, just forget it. noise cancelling is a joke. windows up, it's up to your luck if there is a gust of wind that enters the cabin. if not, then the bt250 works ok. works well on non frwy and about 6/10 on freeway.

bottom line, no earpiece is THAT good yet. but getting closer.

Picturepro, that sux that your bluetooth experiences have sucked so far. it shouldn't be that way. i've heard of many problems with the razor, though. i've personally been using jabra since 2002 without any problems.

I paid $149. As you know, you can do better on internet, but I was trying to find a headset, so went to Compusa (best selection in my area) and just starting working my way through them.

One point to consider: The Moto 850 and the Jabra BT800 are the only units out now working with the latest Bluetooth (1.2 I think). It's this newer protocal that allows the phone to be Bluetooth "on" and only turn the headset on when you want to use, and to have the phone/headset instantly link up w/out you doing anything else. I really like this feature since I don't use headset alot..

I have a BT800, I could hear better with my BT250 then the BT800. I don't use it when I am driving, but I love the USB charging. I travel and everything I have USB charges.
