I own a convertible and primarily drive around in it with the top down. I have owned many headsets, and none have been any good with the top down, except the jabra 250 was okay. Today I drove around with the jawbone and here are my experiences. With the top down, windows up, the radio at a reasonable listening level, 30 mph crosswinds and approaching triple digit speeds, my wife said that she could clearly hear me and I could hear her. With the windows down, she thought the background noise was too loud. Wlaking around SF today with the same windy conditions, she could hear me reasonably, but there was significant background noise. We could carry a conversation without raising our voices, though. These good experiences are a first. I have owned a bt headset since the first week they came out in San Francisco, and have owned every top of the line product... 655, a jx10, etc. This thing is great. It is not perfect, but it is definitely, by far, the very best bt headset out there!
