I don't talk on the phone much, especially in the car. If I do, it's a short conversation like "are you picking up the kids or am I?" I have tried a couple cheaper bluetooth headsets, and they have all been crap. So much static they aren't usable. I'm sure more expensive ones are better though. Since I use my phone very little in the car, I haven't thought about buying another one. If you buy one, check quit a few reviews online first.
