What is the best Bluetooth Headset for use in a convertible? My wife cannot hear when speaking in the convertible with the roof down due to interference with wind. Any suggestions?

Did you not pay attention to anything I said about the jawbone prime? There is no bluetooth earpiece out that blocks wind interference except the jawbone, bottom line. You can do the research yourself.

I think the headset you're looking for has arrived: Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset. It uses the same dual-mic technology as the voyager pro with and the form factor of the 925. Unfortunately, this is by far the priciest headset of the bunch.

Don't worry about that. i believe sena has a noise cancelling system that helps to makes the speaking voice much clearer. The only noise that should be worried is the wind since your friend doesn't wear full face helmet, I think. My brother-in-law rides a road glide with screaming eagle intake and exhaust and I still can chat with him clearly.

eBay or Amazon. This headset is not all that anyway. Not surround sound and the speakers are only so so. I would invest in a true surround sound headset to hear footstep and vehicle direction better.

It was one of the first tests I made. I called my Dad and Mom from my car (while driving). They said the sound was "perfect", and I've called them using a Motorola Bluetooth earpiece (which they noticed). It's really very good.

That is one thing nice about this headset. It has the wind mic on it, which helps reduce wind noise. However, as all the others recommended, adjust the mic boom and it should help minimize or eliminate it.

No issues with the volume. I run outdoors and can't go up to 100% because I can't hear cars until they almost hit me. This is a great headset. Highly recommend this product.

If you are using an iphone, there is an app called awareness that can solve your problem. It feeds the sound that the mic picks up into your headphones so you are not oblivious to the outside world. I use it on my bike rides and can hear the cars passing me sooner than when I just had the headphones in. There is about a .25 second delay, but the app does its job. There might be an android app as well, but I can't remember.

Me and the wife had one on a sporty with no windshield we didn't have any problem sound quality was very good. We would talk back-and-forth and both listen to music separately. I could even use the built-in voice commands on an iPhone and send text messages while riding, but the translation was hit and miss .

It is easy to swap from bike to car. I used it on several vehicles without a problem. On my bikes (a BMW RT1200 and Ducati Diavel) I need to use bluetooth into my helmet to hear it. In the car, it is fine with it's tiny speaker. If you are in the NYC/NJ area, I could invite you to our club's next meetup to see in person.

They work best with less wind noise. I have a Fly Full Face Racing helmet, fully enclosed. My wife has a Bell 3/4 face helmet. Your helmet needs to have slots for the speakers. On voice activation my wife's radio would start transmitting wind noise around 45+ mph. We have since switched to Uclear Bluetooth Communicators.

It does not have any "reverse the soundwave of the background noise to negate it" technology. But the microphone is placed near your mouth, and has a windscreen -- which sounds much better than bluetooth headsets that have the microphone near the ear, or cellphone headsets that have an inline mic that hangs around your chest, so you hold it closer to your mouth (kind of pointless).

I had LG730 and call quality was poor. I had hard time hearing people on the other side. I ended up purchasing Bose BT Headset. Worked great. But not being able to switch ears was the downside. I lost it though cuz it was too small. Hoping to find something like LG730 but with good call quality both ways.

I had great success with transmitting sounds/music from non-bluetooth devices to bluetooth receivers. It is really a marvelous device. I am looking forward to the vendor providing a device that would make landline phones transmit to sound-cancelling bluetooth headsets.

The comfort level is awesome. I have used several bluetooth headsets before, and this one is the best in that area.The sound quality is ok, as long as you are inside. If you go outside, it will be terrible. At least this has been my experience so far. I bought one last month, and had it replaced, and the new one is as bad as the first one when speaking outside. I am getting ready to get another replacement. we'll see what happens...

For safety, you'd better not wear it when you are ridding right? Kinda dangrous that you couldn't hear anything. But if you just sit at backseat, why not. Actually, the earphone can be take down, the audio jack is the normal jack so you can plug any ear phone or headphone or stereo(I haven't tried steroe but I don't think there's any reason you can't). So you can just try how it feels when you wear your earphone and helmet, if feels good. Just plug it to this product.I forget to tell you, I only mean listen. If you want to talk on a phone, then the microphone may need to clip on your collar. But is it really ok when you riding with a big noise and speak on the phone? I think noise maybe a problem.

I have tried a bunch of different brands/models looking for one that works outside. The Jabra was by far the worst of all I tried. The two that work the best are the Jaybird Freedom Sprint and Jaybird BlueBuds. Both are a lot more expensive than these but apparently you have to pay that for a pair that works. The Freedoms still cut out some if you don't keep the phone on relatively close to the right earbud, but don't sound that great. The bluebuds sound great and I have yet to have them cut out inside or out, but they are very expensive.

I tried 3 supposed isolating ear phones, cause when riding my motorcycle I couldnt hear my ipod above the wind noise, even with a fullface helmet. I finally paid about 90 bucks for a pair that have changable ear buds, with one set, the only set i use, is made of memory foam like the ear protection, that is wrapped around the tiny speaker cone. They shut off almost all outside windnoise and let the audio thru, at safe volume levels. good luck.
