Has anyone here tryed to use a bluetooth headset while driving the car? Ive tryed everything that I can get my hands on, including the best models by plantronics, nokia, and jawbone, and have yet to find a suitable noise cancelling headset.


Any recommendations?

Im thinking of making a filter to use with a cheapo bluetooth headset that would be tuned to only remove the sound of the s2k, but I have a feeling that it may be a bit complicated as the revs keepchanging but ill worry about that myself.

 

Jawbone FTW. Works great! There has been no problems with mine and the top down...

 

I use my Jabra, but rarely. Since I only drive with the top down, people ask if I am in a wind tunnel or a snow storm. Ha.

Good luck finding one that will work will with the top down at 80

 

Forget with all the new technology.....go with the old school ear pieces FTW! It's might be ghetto but trust me, you can hear three times as louder than the bluetooth. I also used bluetooth but only where it was quiet, but if i am driving i used the ear-plug pieces.....worked perfect

 

used a samsung wep200 for a while. it worked great even with top down

 

I'm still waiting for a worthwhile bluetooth headset.

If you don't mind wired, theboom.com is awesome.

 

I throw the phone on my ear and lean toward the center of the car with my elbow on the console.

Or I get off the damn phone and DRIVE

 

thats the idea I never combine phone and driving without a headset, and even then really just to ask who it is and tell them ill call them back when im not driving.


But the point of the question was to see what headsets people proffered, and I got some replies,

Regarding the JAWBONE, I did use it and I found that it was not good enough, although the problem was not so much the noise canceling which is the best by far of all the ones i tried, the issue was that I couldn't get the rubber stub to stay against my cheek while turning. And thats the trick to making the Jawbone work.

Ive also considered getting a wired headset (or using the ones I have) but again the issue is not me hearing them, its them hearing me, and so noise cancellation is the key. And so far I have not seen any wired ones with noise cancellation.

 

I have a Plantronics. It's a 510 model, I think (no mic hole in the tip) that other people can hear me perfectly and I can hear them fine up until about 45mph with top down and side windows up.
Past that, windnoise starts to take over.

 

I can hardly hear the person next to me, let alone a little pos wireless headset.
