My friend is an airline mechanic. One thing his coworkers all had was the jawbone headset. This was back in like 2008-2009. He said he could call up a mechanic working right next to the turbine while it was running and hear him crystal clear. I wonder if any of that technology paired with software technology will make it so there is 0 noise in calls. Maybe an implanted bone mic.

IIRC, that technology originated in fighter jets, and worked it's way down to consumer goods. The company sold Bluetooth headsets for a while, but multi-mic solutions were cheaper and worked better. They tried to hang in there for a few years, diversifying into consumer electronics like the "Jawbox."

It didn't work out, and they went bankrupt.
