I think I asked this before, but has anyone had experience with noise-cancelling headsets for driving and listening to mapping directions from a phone using a noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset such as this one with the top down? I have a wind damper on my car, so even with the top down the noise is less than it would be otherwise, and I'm thinking about buying one of these so I can talk on the phone or, if nothing else, listen to the computer-generated driving directions without holding the phone to my ear, but if this group thinks its a bad idea, I'll save my money.

You need the TechnoTooth so that your smartphone can speak to you through your car's stereo.
I've hav hands-free telephone conversation with the top down at 55 mph with perfect clarity.
If I'm on the Interstate and want to use the hands-free, I generally will drive with the top closed because of wind noise above 70 mph.
Happy Boxstering,

| I have not found a single one of those that works well on the mic/transmit side.... grant - 8 years ago |
the two things i find work best are:
1. An over the head BT headset from Delton, about $30.
With a true boom mic it works vastly better than even the most expensive units. Available on Amazon.
2. A regular, old Apple or JBL earbud system. Mic location is an issue as it flaps around
If you want a stylish, small, hang-on-ear solution, the best, by far, is the Plantronics Voyager. My bud who used to run VZW's lab told me to try one.
Jawbone sounds awful - people can't hear you clearly, often even in a closed car.
