Noise cancellation works very well while the Jawbone works great. The voice activated features and the size and comfort are what got me. The BT8010 was great for stereo mode only (and I got it for 20 bux) and that's about it. The Jawbone is uncomfortable, the buttons are too small and it's sounds decent. While the BlueAnt has a wonderful voice activated system the main flaw is the sound. While it is understandable it is somewhat muffled (foam earpiece and rubber earpiece do that) but otherwise really good. I would suggest it for people because of the voice activated commands, the size/comfort and it's compatibility.

Reading a bit further, to the next few words perhaps, you can see that the headset goes on sale tomorrow. Covering a headset that incorporates some interesting new technology - and that launches tomorrow - isn't so bad, is it? Hmmm.

"Winner of the best cell phone accessory at CTIA this past spring" THIS PAST SPRING... This is not BGR material in my mind! I come here to find out about it "this past spring" not now... Kelly, please don't turn this into another blog that fills their pages with so much garbage that I check it less and less until I one day decide to eliminate it from my daily views!!

I had the older blue ant, and everyone I talked to said the noise suppression on the JB was better. The only thing I've ever had problems with is the fit, which I solved by getting a custom earpiece from jetsound.com I think the JB has a little better noise isolation from everything I’ve seen.

Answer one? Answer two? It supports up to 8 devices bet that would get confusing fast... Answer One. No,no I mean Answer Six. Oh wait,Answer Three, yes thats it. Not to mention the fact that would look like a stock raving lunatic! that is too bad that it cant do 3 phones at the same time….if their other headsets do it maybe this one will in a firmware update

For example, I carry three cell phones (yes, don't ask) and with my X3 I can answer any phone that is ringing by pressing the answer button once, twice, or three times. I read the entire manual they have and it doesn't sound like it can do that. :( Sigh, doesn’t seem to be able to handle multiple phones AT THE SAME TIME like some of their other headsets.

I've got a Supertooth 3, and it has voice commands to answer calls (just say "accept" or "ok" to answer), and it has text to speech ("Call from John"), and it automatically shuts itself off and reconnects when the door shuts, so I rarely have to touch anything. To me, this is a great way to make it that much safer while driving. No more looking at a screen, and now, you don't even have to take your hands off the wheel! BlueAnt never ceases to amaze.
