Well, it turns out that the Parrot SK4000 just can't overpower earplugs when listening to music, radio, or menu prompts.
I can't hear the Caller ID prompts but I can hear the caller just fine. WTF?!
I started the A2DP music source (my iPhone 4) and left work today and by the time I was on the freeway I couldn't even tell it was on. Whenmy brother called, I could barely tell that he was calling and really only noticed it because I was listening intently as I tried to see if I had successfully switched to the FM radio input/source. Even then, all I could tell was that it didn't say "Radio," "Telephone," or "Bluetooth Audio," so I hit the button to answer it.
The Parrot kid can be painfully loud when off the bike and not wearing earplugs, so this will be a problem with any kit that has a lower music volume than telephone conversation volume.
