I really wanted to listen to a conference call for work that lasted about 1.5 hrs., and I was able to ride over 150 miles in that time. I kept my cruise control at 104mph the whole day and had a speaker pad from my radar detector over my right ear.

Nice! My commute is ~84 miles each way, so about 75 mins. I go into the office (when I go) very early and leave early, and if there're meetings when I'd normally be driving, I try to move my commute around so I'm not on a call during my commute. But I have 2-3 times used my Bose noise cancelling headphones (in the car) for conference calls in my commute. It works really well, and the ANC is awesome. I can't imagine doing the same on a bike, especially at 100+, but I guess the helmet probably cuts most of the noise out.
