Bluetooth stereo noise cancelling headset?

Does one exist?
I'm looking for one if they do...

I've looked at the:
Motorokr s9
FullPageLoader
and the:
Plantronics Voyager™ 855 Bluetooth® Headset
Plantronics )) Mobile )) Bluetooth Mobile Headsets )) Plantronics Voyager™ 855 Bluetooth® Headset

and I like the Motorola because a friend has it and you can hit the treadmill without it falling out...

I like the Plantronics because it has some minimal noise isolation.

I travel a lot and would love a headset like the shure that does have noise cancelling for the airplane noise reduction.. but also something that has bluetooth stereo and a microphone so I could take calls on it.
(they don't have one though and all their headsets are very expensive)

Any suggestions are very appreciated... I'm trying to decide which one to put on my Christmas list

I'm not aware of any myself, and if the flight attendant notices you don't have wires coming from your headset, they're around 99% likely to tell you to turn them off.

Instead, I'd recommend buying yourself one of these. It works great, gives you a mic, and adds controls so you can pause playback, etc. without touching your phone.

Good point that I totally overlooked myself.
Probably not a good idea to be using bluetooth on a plane.

Well, I don't know if it's "not a good idea." I'm unconvinced that a well-built, UL tested devices will interfere with a plane's navigation systems (although if a cell phone is going to, it's a GSM phone). But those are the rules adopted by the FAA and we've got to live by them or risk going to jail, so...

I prefer the wired headsets and that particular adapter myself, regardless. The sound fidelity is better (in my opinion) and I'm not burning anywhere near as much battery.

I bought the Plantronics Voyager last night. Haven't really used it yet but in playing with it seems like a good one to me. Fits perfectly in the ear and I like the light weight design. I jog and use headphones all the time and this is one I could jog with if I wanted to (but won't for various reasons).

Sound was good, fit was right, seemed light enough to not be a problem, and I like that I can switch to call when I need to.

One note about remote control of music. The Plantronics has a BT profile that the Tilt doesn't support for remote control of media. Best you'll be able to do is listen to music, turn the volume up and down, etc. You will not be able to advance songs or such stuff.

care to provide any feedback in a few days after using the unit?
I've been looking for a similar type of unit - something that would be good for both music playback and talking.
I think i'm going to go with this for most times when i don't need to actually listen to music from the phone - such as if i'm driving in a car. I've used this for listening to music - it is comfortable, has long playtime - about 12-14 hours between charges and can advance sound. It's major weakness is handling calls - when talking into it, i've been told i sound very distant.
So, i'm interested in something that could give me the best of both worlds.

Sure, I'll report back when I go on my next trip (only time I use head set since I have BT in car). In the short instances I played with it I can tell that it greatly reduces outside noise with the way it fits. Sound was good as well.

I'll try to give a better review after a trip though where I'll put it through some paces.

You might also want to check out the Gennum nxZen 5500 plus and the Jabra BT8010, which are convertible (mono or stereo) headsets. I have not tried either, and they seem bulkier than the Voyager 855. The other option is the recently announced JayBird JB-100 stereo headset or the Etymotic Research Ety8, which seem stuck in stereo mode. I plan to get the Voyager simply because I can use it mono or stereo. I worry I will look like a tool at the gym - not quite the right part of LA where one can get away with that -but the convenience and size are probably the best combination right now. BTW, the Voyager is available from the PDAPhoneHome store, but you can probably find it a little cheaper online elsewhere.

First review on the Voyager...

- Liked how light it was.
- For whatever reason the in-ear headsets bother me. This one was no different but I think it's me, not the plugs.
- When the plugs are in it totally drowns out outside noise. Really great if you're trying to eliminate external sounds.
- When I first used it to talk I thought the person on the other end was in a noisy location. Turns out I was just hearing the noise from my location and wasn't aware it was that noisy because of the headset. This was a good thing for me. The mic seemed to pick me up fine. The person on the other end heard me fine.
- When I got a call it took a little longer than expected for the headset to pick up the call. The music stopped, I looked at the phone and saw a call was coming in, then it finally rang in my headset. You may need to be quick to answer but I'll keep checking on this one.

One note on the phone. The music was skipping every so often (using Media Player). Turns out it was whenever the phone was coming in and out of sleep mode. I'm getting the feeling this phone isn't as powerful as I originally thought.

noise cancelling bluetooth

Yes I saw a few here are the models

Less expensive ($99.00 at at&t) -
Bluetooth Headset - Motorola H700

Superior quality - ($119.00 at at&t)
Bluetooth Headset - Motorola PURE H12

I'm going for the second one myself....I've heard good things and I'm tired of having to say "What" or hearing that from my caller.

Good luck

The JB-100 is very good for listening to music, but it's integrated mic is horrendous. It's not really usable as a handsfree unit for your phone. They just came out with a JB-200 that supposedly has a little better mic as well as some other improvements. Perhaps someone could comment on their experience using the jb-200?

These are good but are they were asking for stereo bluetooth headsets for listening to music?
I have the Jabra BT-8010, it does work well and the sound quality is great. not good for the gym - look like a dorky trekker and it's not comfortable for long time wear.
I also have a wiRevo stereo bluetooth headset, looks much better, sound quality is good, and very comfortable earbuds. the range isn't as good as the Jabra.
Neither of these are noise-cancelling but the mikes are very good on both.

So the Jabra Bt 8010 is not good for the gym? Why is that?

So, its 2009 now, which Bluetooth stereo headset is the best?
Jabra 8010 is bout my price range. Anything 2009 in that price range?
