Alright, i'm in the market for a decent bluetooth headset that works well especially if i had the top down. I hear jawbone or plantronics is awesome and well worth the money. If anybody could reply with a suggestion or any input on which model they own or what works well for them, I would really appreciate it. Maybe something with noise cancelation? Idk, you tell me. Thanks

Pictures or any links would help too.

i bought a jawbone 01 off of craigslist, its not that expensive so you could discard it if you dont like it:
-jawbone 01 vs 02, mainly a marketing difference
-difficult to operate, no big indication where the controls are but i guess if you use it often its do able
-dosnt fit firm to the ear and its sooo small it could just fall off blow away
-could be uncomftorable to some
-it has a plastic tab that must contact your skin and i assume this is what pick-ups the sound

i thought i read something where a motorola was going to buy a off shore design for sales this 1/4 or early next year. it is a totally in the ear device, no microphone and the sound is conducted through the bone/skin contact. somehow this has to do with the bluespoon desing that you cant buy now.

I have the jawbone 2. Its awesome for loud noise situations. I looked at the plantronics but i didnt like the look very much. I was able to talk and be heard perfectly clearly in my friend's car on the phone while i had to shout to him for him to hear me.

Another vote for Jawbone, people I call can barely tell I'm driving top down, much better than the Jabra JX10 which I also own.
