Default Best bluetooth headset

Searched and most recent non-stereo headset posts were a couple of years old. What are you guys using? Is the jawbone still considered the best for noise canceling with the top down?

Default BT

I work for Verizon, they give us demo units. I have tried them all, but nothing kills the wind noise like the newest Jawbone Icon! It's the 4th generation (Have had all) They keep getting small and better. The only complaint I get (1 out of 20 calls) is that my voice sounds a little robotic (auto-tuned).

We don't sell the BluAnt but I went and bought one at Fry's. It was a little bit louder than my Jawbone, but the person on the other end had to hang up because they couldn't hear half of what I was saying. Thank god for Fry's return policy.

So go with a Jawbone.

It's really cool, you can hook it up to your computer and download different "apps" ie change the voice that speaks to you...play music...listen to Nav.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. Jawbone and Blueant were pretty much what I had narrowed it down to. The positives for the jawbone and the negative on the blueant seals the deal for me.

I use the jawbone as well. Noise canceling does work with the top down.

I did a ton or research, there is apparently an excellent noise cancelling headset from Bang and Olufsen, but is very expensive.

For you other ATT folks looking at the jawbone, they've got the hero version on sale on the online shop for $75.
