In my opinion, the Voyager 510 has finally been dethroned as the king of bluetooth headsets by the New Jawbone. I just pourchased the New Jawbone and I have tested it in extremely windy conditions near the water on the the streets of Manhattan. I made several test calls to friends and to voicemail. The New Jawbone seems to block wind noise approximately as well as the Voyager 510 and beats it in terms of blocking out other sound. The New Jawbone is also 1/3 the size of the Voyager 510 and much lighter. Of course the New Jawbone also costs 3 times as much as the Voyager 510. Audio quality on the user end is still slightly better with the Voyager 510, but only very slightly.
Please note that I am referring to the New Jawbone (which was released less than a week ago). The old Jawbone had fit, wind noise, and audio quality issues that made it inferior, in my opinion, to the Voyager 510.

Plantronics Voyager 510 Description
For the ultimate in wireless freedom, look no further than the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset, which represents a generational leap in Bluetooth headset technology. It's comfortable and light enough for all day wear, and it offers unprecedented clarity and sound quality. These are great features, but the real revolution involves Plantronics' exclusive Multipoint technology, which allows the headset to function as a powerful communication solution for up to two Bluetooth devices.
With Multipoint technology you can switch between your voice-enabled Bluetooth mobile phone, PDA or laptop. The headset's "smart" technology knows which device you are using and allows you to take calls from any device at the touch of a button. With the optional Plantronics Bluetooth Deskphone Adapter you can even switch between your office phone and your Bluetooth mobile phone. You'll never need to use a dedicated "landline" phone headset again.
The 510 features WindSmart technology, which enhances call clarity in windy environments (i.e., car with window/roof open, air conditioning on, outside with breeze), and it folds for easy storage. The boom also swivels for perfect positioning on either ear. One-touch call control buttons are placed for easy access, and you can easily redial the last number dialed and initiate voice-activated calls from the headset. Because the 510 is Bluetooth-enabled (it supports the Bluetooth 1.2 specification) you can roam up to 33 feet from your Bluetooth device. Meanwhile, the 510 supports adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) which helps avoid interference from Wi-Fi networks. Ample talk time is provided by the built-in rechargeable battery; you'll get up to 6 hours talk time and up to 100 hours of standby time.
