I don't like the loop over the ear so I'm using the medium bud with the loop on it... It tends to hurt after wearing for a long period but it's the one that provides the best fit for me out of all the options provided.

I have seen some 3 party custom fit gels for the Jawbone Icon but they tend to run around $80... A bit much... Hoping Jawbone releases so additional options to purchase...

Found a couple cheaper things I think I'm going to give one of them a try.

Acoustibuds (list prime on the website a forums said icon worked as well)
http://www.amazon.com/ACOUSTIBUDS-SI...ref=pd_sim_e_9

or

Jabra Ear gels

Should have the Acoustibuds by July 15th or so, the Jabra ones should be here earlier.

How will does it work while driving in a Jeep with no roof, windows, or doors? I am still looking for a headset that makes this possible...

Well I got them and here is the summary so far.

Keep in mind I have settled for given a fair long term test to either solution.

Jabra ear gels:
They fit over a standard donut shaped ear piece on the jawbone. I doubt the kit was really made for the icon the snap ear loop doesn't fit. But the gels do.

I was able to get a so so fit with the largest one, but it was just not comfortable enough and I was not sure of the connection of the sensor and my cheek with it on.

I probably will not use these, so at least they where cheap.

Acoustibuds:
I was able to get a couple solid fits, there is 1 problem. Its too loud.

Heinous: This may be your best chance for hearing while driving that jeep...

Turning the volume in call on the bluetooth down the min volume the voicemail box was ok just a touch louder than I want. But the post hangup sound notification... That is the deal breaker at the moment.

I can't find a spot to turn that volume down all the way, if I could I would be more tempted to give this a long run try.

There was some discomfort from them, but that hangup sound volume was too much.

Well I hope this helps I may give the Acoustibuds a run for a bit.

How are you turning down the volume, on the phone or on the Icon or a combo of both...?

I really want the bombshell (gold) one, but it seems to be the most costly one out of them all. ;(

I don't talk thatt much on the phone, but it'd still be really nice as the evo is 6 oz and when it's to loud for speaker phone...

ecost.com has some of the best deals on two of the icons, and other jawbones as well.
