The plantronics voyager 510 was far superior on both counts, but broke after a couple of months (no warranty if you buy on ebay). I may give plantronics another try since I haven't heard others complain about quality control. Also considering a gennum nxzen as these are reputed to have superior noise cancellation microphones and also have good noise blocking earphones. I found the Jabra to be OK--somewhere between the moto and the plantronics for sound quality for both me and the person on the other end--but lacking enough that I still purchased others in search of a superior solution.
I really like the ergonomics of the 'behind-the-ear' design of the Jabra models - including the little ear-gel that directs the sound into your ear. Seems like it would help with isolation, blocking out the ambient noise. Whether or not the quality and volume of the audio is there I can't say. Comments from other Jabra users?
Plantronics has always had a solid reputation for quality and their headset products are known (and popular) in call centers around the globe. Hope the quality control with the Voyager 510 has been improved. I'm still undecided...
