for my devices, yes it is. I have a nokia 6126 and a plantronics 655. the plantronics has some noise reduction. the mike is planted against my cheek, and the speaker is crammed in my ear.
when it is on, neither the nokia speaker or mike are on. when using the nokia straight, I have trouble keeping the thing in the correct place to hear. all outside noises are transmitted. bluetooth is probably not superior to hard wire, but with active dogs in the car, hard wire can be a problem . blue tooth is really great when driving on I95, trying to read a map, drink coffee, and take a message.
