It would help a lot if you'd label the photos. Since the words are the same in all three articles, it's confusing as to what is in each photo. There's even one headset that's not mentioned in the article.

I'm a bit perplexed by your comments about being highly susceptible to wind noise. Comparing the 4 major online reviews thusfar (Digital Trends, I4U, CNET, and you folks), you're the only ones who say the 520 doesn't handle wind well. Digital Trends talks about 65mph and all the windows open being a non-issue. I4U says with the 520 you can be heard in winds that would make other sets near worthless. CNET gives somewhat mixed signals saying some disturbance but not too serious in winds. So how can there be such wide variance here with you folks anchoring one extreme?

We can only speak to our own experiences. The 520 is the highest-rated Bluetooth headset we've yet reviewed, but callers told us they had problems hearing us when the wind was blowing against it. Aliph's Jawbone consistently received comparative sound raves, but isn't as comfortable, and is more expensive.
