I have Jawbone 2 and Blueant V1 and the V1 is a lot better since it feels confortable, the audio commands work great, interactive messages, small and stays stable on the ear and for a better price. My Jawbone will stay in my drawer together with my old other useless bluethooth.

The people I talk with are very happy that I use a Voyager Pro.

I literally have a drawer full of bluetooth headsets. This is the one I use. The built-in speed dialing is convenient, and now you can easily invoke iPhone voice dialing. Good reports of call quality from people I call. Comfort is good. Battery life is really good. When I lost one a few weeks ago, I went back and tried my JawBone 2 (which I never liked) and a couple others. In the end, I bought another set of these.

Another vote for Plantronics Voyager Pro. Absolutely the best I have ever used when comparing: sound quality (on both ends), loudness (can actually hear the other person even when noise is all around you), and noise cancellation.

I tried it for a week with iPhone 3gs, noise cancelling sucks on it. Ended up buying a platronics pro best one I've used so far. Tried about 3 other Top models...

Voice control works pretty reliably for me. And as for wind, it's not as great as you think I did a comparison a while ago with window down and no voice isolation at 60mph: horrible like I even have to tell you. Second with window up and no voice isolation at 60mph: noise pretty obvious but ok. Third with voice isolation and window down at 60mph: noise pretty bad obvious. Finally with voice isolation and window up at 60mph: actually pretty nice and clear; nothing I'd use for an interview while driving but hey.

Does it work with the iPhone 3GS's "Voice Control", that is key

What about the all important wind-noise performance?

The Motorola S305 is a much better deal in my opinion. Plus you get stereo headphones for music!

ive had it a while with my 3GS and while voice quality and noise isolation is good i do have a few issues:

callers can hear my call waiting tone when using it, which i really dislike. tapping the action button to answer a call sometimes just doesn't work. ive had my calls go to voicemail as a result. voice recognition should verify commands! i say something like "call voicemail" and it will say "redialing last incoming call" forcing me to quickly hang up but if my hands are tied, the whole point of hands free, i have to say "hey its me again, sorry i didnt mean to redial you." or if i say "redial" sometimes it will dial one of my fav numbers. so yeah not so great.

bottom line is voice quality is excellent but too many bugs to make it worth it, my moto h710 was a lot more stable but i lost it so wanted to try the ant and got bit as a result.

Wow, these things are getting smaller and smaller. Pretty soon they'll be falling into our ears and we'll need surgery to get them out.

Just don't try and update the firmware on the damn thing like they say you can do. Yes it is a great headset but not being able to do one of it's core functions is a smack in the face. And don't get me started on their support.
