I ordered the Cardo Scala 500 at the recommendations of this thread. I got it yesterday and have been using it for about a day. Sound is sufficiently loud, even though there is no "probe" to go in the ear canal like the Jabra. It fits, though I feel that a really good shake could dislodge it... need to play with the earpiece adjustment more.
Static? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Fine in the car. I was in several different buildings today: some were so bad I couldn't use it. Others showed a significant difference whether I held the phone on the left side of my body where the headset was plugged in (little) compared to holding it on my right side (noticable static.) I've not had extensive experience with other headsets.
Pairing was pretty easy. However, the only way to tell if it's "on" is if you press the central "control" button and it beeps. No LED indication, following the initial pairing. No LED when I'm talking on it. Is this usual?
So, jury is still out.
