FMA bluetooth earpiece for cycling?

As much as I hate the idea of dealing with a phone call while out riding, I
can make more time for rides if I'm more available, and I'd rather not have
to stop in the middle of whatever I'm doing to take a call. (But don't
worry; I'd never take a call in the middle of a group.

Is there an FMA earpiece that does a reasonable job with wind noise?

I got a bluetooth headset but never even tried using it for cycling
because I could hardly hear anything or even use the controls just
driving my car. I once used the stereo headsets that came with my
Samsung D900 phone and that worked out pretty well. Apart from the
phone calls, I was using it to hear tunes during a group ride. Sorry
but doing laps around Paris parks is incredibly boring, at one point I
wanted to put a DVD player on my handlebars.

I tried a couple of times, and found wind noise on the mic to be too
much of a problem for folks on the other end. I'm unaware of any
good way around that.

It does seem plausible to answer the phone, and then stop to talk.

It's worth experimenting with a Jawbone headset. They claim especially
clever ambient noise filtering.

I was hoping that someone might have had experience with the Jawbone, since
it supposedly picks up sound differently than most. Just wondering if
there's something about cycling that keeps it from working as advertised.

I have used the Oakley O ROKR sunglasses w/ Bluetooth. I would never have
bought them myself but my wife gave them to me as a gift. Turns out they
work pretty well although they are too expensive.

It isn't clear from the Oakley info where the microphone pickup is, or if
they even have one. Assuming they do, how's the wind noise (to the person
you're talking to)? Also, I don't favor something that covers both ears (and
I wouldn't be listening to music while riding, just the once-in-a-while
phone call possibility).

it;s about in the middle of the earpiece
i wouldn;t expect it to do very well in wind
