Better bluetooth earpiece than the Ant Z9i?

[fuzzybabybunny]

I have an Ant and I hate it. The volume is too low to hear things while driving in the car even with the volume maxed. Can anyone recommend something like the Ant with exceptional audio clarity and the ability to have high volume and/or be able to fit inside the ear canal with a really good seal like In-Ear-Monitor headphones?

How much do you want to spend? Jawbone/Platronics are pretty much the top dogs in Bluetooth Earpiece land. I have the Platronics 975 and it's the best I've ever used. Also there's the Jawbone Icon which is a great headset as well.

Honestly at this point I will spend money for something that doesn't flat out suck. I can't even use the Ant while driving unless I'm pressing it against my ear. Worthless.

I don't get these bluetooth headsets though - why don't any of them go INTO the ear canal? The fit would be 100x better and the sound isolation would be incredible. You wouldn't have any volume issues or noise issues then.

I've had great experience with this two earpieces if you don't mind the bulk of Voyager Pro, it's one the best I've used while driving.

Same reason why you don't listen to IEM when driving.

Safety hazard. You need to be able to hear emergency vehicles coming from any direction. Yeah you still have one open ear but it's not enough.
