Best bluetooth headset for iPhone reviews
The iPhone which is one of the most advanced and sophisticated phones ever to surface the mobile phone industry since its introduction has worn the hearts of many people all over the world. The biggest problem that most iPhone users face today though has to do with the type of bluetooth headset to use and the emergence of many bluetooth headset manufacturing companies has made things more difficult. Although these bluetooth headset manufacturing companies keep increasing, there are some bluetooth headsets that stand out and will meet your every iPhone need. Today, almost every phone in the world has bluetooth connection which has made the bluetooth a very important device for us. Just imagine walking around with your phones in your pocket but being able to pick a call without taking your phone out of your pocket or even leaving your phone at home but being able to pick up every call that comes through. More than before, bluetooth technology has gained more popularity because many people are beginning to appreciate the freedom of walking about without your phone but not missing any calls. Below is a review of some of the most popular ones and the best bluetooth headset for iphone.
First is the Jawbone ICON-Series Thinker Bluetooth Headset
The Jawbone ICON-Series Thinker Bluetooth Headset is one of the best Bluetooth headsets for iPhone. This bluetooth headset is loved by people due to its features like the fact that it comes in black and silver wheat colors which i consider the best colors, has the best sound quality meaning you are able to hear perfectly well what the person on the other side of the phone is saying, is great for listening to music, equipped with military grade Noise Assassin 2.5 with wind reduction, it also has a feature that enables you to use from two different phones, it has up to 10 days of standby time and up to 4.5 hours of talk time.
When buying a Jawbone ICON-Series Thinker Bluetooth Headset these are the things you should expect in the box; an ICON headset, 4 round ear buds, 3 spot ear buds, optional binaural ear loop, A/C wallet adapter, Micro USB cable for connection to phone, laptops and other electronic devices that have bluetooth connectivity, and a user guide to help you know how to use the device. Also, other features that has got people loving them includes the fact that it weighs just 8.2 grams, its compatibility with Windows Vista, 7 and XP also, Mac OSX and others. The views from customers have been good and bad but the bad views have always been due to less understanding on how the device operates. For instance, where connection to the iPhone is concerned, some people complained it took too long to connect, others complained it hurts their ears when they wear it for more than an hour and also complaints about the connection not being viable when you are too far from iPhone.
Secondly, I recommend the Jawbone ERA headset, if the Jawbone ICON-Series Thinker did not do the magic for you

Since its introduction to the world in January, 2011; iPhone users have loved this headset due to features like its 5.5 hours of talk time, 10 days standby time, battery meter automatic display on iPhone, music listening feature, clear sound, and great motion control. It also has the benefit of being able to manage two phones at a time, has great PC capability, weighs just 10.2 grams, and so many great HD designs features. Although some people say it is the best headset they have ever used in their life, and that they love the carry case that comes with this headset not forgetting the A2DP that is very handy some complaints that have been given include the fact that they do not sell the ear loops individually, most people also wish the ear tip of the headset was a little different, others feel it is too expensive and no android battery meter.
Thirdly, the Plantronics Discovery 975
Named one of the best bluetooth headsets for iPone by many iPhone users, the Plantronics Discovery 975 has given many iPhone users the reason to smile due to its many features that has made the usage of iPhones very easy and less stressful especially where calls are concerned. The reason why people like the Plantronics Discovery 975 headset is because of its great sound quality, the provision of charging case that gives the user extra 10 good hours of talk time, 5 hours of battery life, great noise reduction feature, beautiful design which has a lot to do with the multi ear tip cover designs and sizes, battery status indicator on the charging case, and finally the good 1 year warranty service.
Although people love the fit and the fact that they can carry it the whole day without any ear pains, there are some complaints being made by others like the multi function button and its difficulty to press, the fact that it has no USB charging cable, and durability.
Lastly, the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset
Also being the best headset on the market, its features like the fact that it can support both analog and digital office phones, one touch call answer and end, last number redial, noise cancelling microphone for the best sound quality, and also the fact that you can switch between two bluetooth devices, great battery life that lasts longer than time on phone, different shaped earpiece sizes which means you can get the perfect fit for you.
Some cons or complaints that have come with users of this headset is the fact that they are heavy for the ear, its design is not too classy like others, and also the fact that the power button is very hard to use when on your ear.
If you do not want to be arrested for driving and talking on phone offenses which can be very distressful, getting any of the above bluetooth headsets for your iPhone will make sure that does not happen. Although these four are the best in my books, there are also other types on the market that works best for other people due to their tastes and preference. Have a nice time using your bluetooth headset for your iPhone.

Review of Jawbone ICON-Series Thinker Bluetooth Headset
David P: I’ve had over 20 headsets and am extremely fussy. This headset is by far the best is most ways.
Fit:
Its difficult to explain how it fits different, yet its comfortable and secure. The headset slides into the ear instead of being compressed into the ear.
Quality of Voice in normal setting:
Perfect. It’s the only headset where I NEVER got a complaint.
Noise Cancellation:
Almost perfect. Just make sure the headset touches your face.
I had Prince jamming on the radio where the windows in the house were rattling.
I could barely hear the other person or myself, yet they could only hear a clip of the music every few seconds. They could hear me fine.
Connection to Phone:
This is where the biggest problems occurred. It sometimes took up to a minute of trying to get the headset to connect on my Palm Treo.
My Blue Ant connects every time without a glitch.
The only other headset that comes close is the Blue Ant V1.
If I were to rate both, I would give the Icon a 9.0 and the Blue Ant V1 a 7.5.
I rate all other headsets below a 5.
The only feature I would like to see on these headsets is a way to find them when they get misplaced.
Perhaps a way for the phone to communicate with it when a button is pressed on the phone.
Review of Jawbone ERA headset
Peter: I’ve have every earpiece Aliph has produced and can say that this one is beyond a doubt the best to date. In fact, I wouldn’t say I was particularly pleased with any of their previous efforts. I felt they were better than the competition but left a lot lacking. The Era is louder than the Icon and the extra length helps it stay in contact with the cheek where the Icon was a bit short. Obviously everyone has their own fit requirements, but for Aliph earpieces to work well they really need to be in contact with your cheek.
Review of Plantronics Bluetooth Headsets
Jonathan: This is my second Bluetooth device. The first was also a Plantronics, from Verizon, and while I was happy with the volume, with increased volume did not come increased clarity. I’m hearing impaired, so clarity is something that I’m very concerned about with any hearing device, be it phone, hearing aid, stereo headphones, and especially TV EARS!
Anyway, turning up the volume means I’ll hear the sounds, but it doesn’t always mean that I’ll be able to discern them. “Hi, this is J.K. Rowling calling, and I’d like to invite you to tea,” could turn into, “Your bowling league called, and said they want some bees.” If I’m lucky. I returned the unit I received with my phone (as a matter of fact, I returned all of the accessories Verizon packaged with my Motorola Q – they were all junk) and bought this headset based on the strength of all the positive reviews. After testing it out, I couldn’t be happier, and have to add my voice to the chorus of approval. Not only is this headset capable of great volume, it also is extremely clear.
