Default Bluetooth Headsets?

I just recently bought a new bluetooth compatible phone and was wondering whether anyone uses or could recommend good Bluetooth Headsets for top down driving? I'm probably never going to use it outside of the car, but with the way by phone is designed (slider), it's hard to brace it against my shoulder now when it's open; requiring a hands free headset to be safe.

>HERE< are the ones that CNET recommends, but I'd prefer firsthand opinions/experiences with these.

Any opinions?

For my Treo 650, I'm using a Supertooth II, but it isn't a headset. It is a speakerphone that attaches to the visor. The noise cancelling features are pretty impressive. In fact, I have carried on conversations with the top down/windows up at 60 MPH and the only distraction is that I have to speak really loud to get over the ambient wind noise at my end; kinda like shouting at the person standing next to you in a 60 mph windstorm.

So far, nobody at the other end has complained about wind messing with my voice.

I have the Jabra BT500 - and its cool to have the caller ID, but I could never get it to sit properly on my ear. Becuase of the loose seal, I had to hold it up whenever I was in the car. Its sitting on my desk uncharged.

I recently purchased a Nokia (scroll down to the HS-4W) headset (my phone is a Razr), and I LOVE it. Very comfortable and clarity is great. I use it all the time with the top down. Down side is that the volume could be a little greater... but so far I give it
