Talking What kind of bluetooth is good to use..

I'm top down like 99% of the time. I'm looking for a bluetooth that can be heard clearly by both parties while top down. many people are saying the jawbone 2, any feedbacks from top down bluetooth user?

is this too tall an order?

I have a Plantonics Voyager... It's supposed to noise cancel... it doesn't. It's horrible for top down usage. Most people I've heard do support the jawbone 2.

the jawbone claims to be the only headset that can accurately separate speech from ambient noise. I can see this as being great for whom ever you are calling but you yourself will have to listen to the noise of the top being down. To me it seems like the only really way to eliminate most of the noise of the top being down is covering both ears with a type of noise canceling headphone. But that seems to be a huge hassle. Basically what im trying to say is most of the blue tooth headsets are going to be the same on your side you they cant really effect what you can hear. But they can improve what whom ever your talking to hears.

I can hear what people are saying with the top down perfectly clearly in mine, they just don't have a clue what I'm saying.

Hence why he said "...heard clearly by both parties..."

I have the original Jawbone and I am constantly having to roll up the windows to talk. Does anybody know if the new one is any better?

Thanks,

Mike

But if you read his post, you'd see that his main assertion is "I can see this as being great for whom ever you are calling but you yourself will have to listen to the noise of the top being down." Which is why he claims that no unit will work, even with an effective noise cancellation system.
