First there was the Jawbone headset which I tried a few weeks ago. It does a fantastic job of isolating noise in the background allowing you to hear your cell phone (or VOIP) call more clearly as well as allowing the person you are talking to to hear you clearly. You just have to try it to see how well it works. Their website has a demo that does NOT exaggerate how well the device works. Trust me, I tried one.

But the issue with the Jawbone is is it is huge and makes you look like some sort of Star trek character. So in comes the nXZEN NX6000. It is tiny at about the size of a quarter and if you believe the geeks at Gizmodo, it wins hands down. It is also about as expensive as the Jawbone at $130, but if you need noise reduction as I do in my Jeep Wrangler, then this might be the ticket.
