Have had the new Bang & Olufsen for a week now and love it. Once you are tired of playing with the toys, this puppy is top shelf.

Yep and its worth every penny. Fits nice and clarity is excellent. I also link it to my laptop and talk on Skype with it.

Go for the anal implants, way more bass, and if you watch your diet wind noise should not be an issue

Setup was excellent and it "shook hands" the first time and worked 10 seconds after turning it on, and has not dropped off-line or not worked since. Am very happy with it.

Scoot, please do give us a review. I may look into the Jawbone, since I really don't use my phone enough to warrant the B&O price, even if it's top notch!

Please do. Also test it in noisy enviroments, like a somewhat busy restaurant, and in the car with the windows down at various speeds, if you can

Intial review. I have used it in the car with the windows up, down, on the freeway and city streets. I have asked everyone about the sound quality and every single one has said great. I was on the freeway with the window down and the one caller said they could hear background noise, but still heard me fine. I rolled the window up and the background noise went away. The volume is excellent and I can hear callers perfectly. The jury is out on the comfort. My ear started to hurt a little this morning after about 45 minutes with the earpiece on. Not sure if it the device or just my overly sensitive ear. Time will tell. I will keep you guys informed as time progresses.

Scott,
Your experience is the same as mine was. Could not believe the volume and clarity was excellent, in much the same conditions as yours. My ear took a few days to get used to it but after that its not a problem. Kinda like wearing a new pair of sunglasses, they take a while to get used to... Joe

I don't know, I have had very good luck with the Motorola H700. I think a lot of everything is the shape of your ear. I cannot tolerate the stuck in your ear canal models. The loudest and best sounding is one made for the PALM TREO, but the hanger doesn't work the best.
What I like best about the H700 is that you turn it on by flipping open the microphone. It will not turn on accidentally.
