Default Bluetooth headsets for convertibles.

Anyone have a recommendation for a bluetooth headset for a TTR? I am leaning toward Jawbone 2.0 or BlueAnt. Both has DSP noise cancellation tech, but wind noise tends to defeat both. A few years back a company was trying to perfect a 'mic-less' headset that picked up the vibrations from the aural canal. Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks.

Default I'm sure you have good reasons to use it, but from my perspective, when I get behind the

wheel of my convertible. The first thing I do it turn my cell off. I'm having too much fun to talk on the phone.

Having said that, my H700 has good NC and is not an in-ear device, which is much more compatible for me.

One of the BEST that I have EVER had, but unfortunately it went belly up on me and has been near impossible to find, is the Jabra BT500. This headset worked great in terms of sound quality as I could hear the other person very well and the mic seemed to work very well and few people complained about the wind noise.

However, I would not recommend the newer version the 2020 which my wife got, that while a nice headset seemed a step back from the BT500 and is horrendous on both counts with the top down.

Default This one has no mic - Captures voice vibrations from the inner contours of the jawbone

Default I've used two logitechs over the years and they kill the noise

My link below is to the older one, the newer model is a little lighter, but both are devices that you would only want to wear in the car due to weight factors.<ul><li><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/logitech-mobile-freedom-bluetooth/4505-13831_7-31206153.html">http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/logitech-mobile-freedom-bluetooth/4505-13831_7-31206153.html</a</li></ul>
