Merlin, it was my experience, (from a couple of years ago when I did the research for my BlueAnt article), that when a manufacturer of bluetooth cell phone headsets talks about noise or wind cancellation, they are talking about a noisy mall or a slight wind between buildings that you can turn your head away from. What they are NOT talking about is the ability to held a normal voice conversation at 25 mph in heavy traffic when you can't turn away from the wind.

What drew me to motorcycle headsets in general, and the BlueAnt in particular, was the similarity of use, and the 80 mph communication claims. (Maggi & I still don't know about 80, but they work OK up to 45!) It's a shame they discontinued the mono earpeice, and I haven't had time to talk to them to find out if one side of the stereo could just be cut off.

If anyone wants to talk to them and buy a set to try it, here's a link to the directions I wrote for making your own headset/neckband for them.
