I need a headset that's great in loud environments - I work as a real estate agent in NYC and barely hear calls on my blackberry if I'm out in the field. Traffic, pedestrians - noise pollution's a major annoyance for me. Any good sub-$80 headsets that have good sound isolation?

Thanks!

The Motorola HX1 is awesome, we got the OEM editions with just instruction manual, headsets, and charger. It has a standard mode with noise filtering, then a special push button heightened noise cancelling mode for even higher noise pollution areas (at the expense of battery life). Ours were just shy of 40$ each.

As an example I can talk to the fiance easily while in my little server closet with three running IBM x336 servers (approx 82db of noise in there).

Thanks so much for the recommendation - found it for $20 on ebay (refurbed), ordered and looking forward to using it!
