When not on a call, you can hear VO while you interact with your phone. With both headsets, you can control the volume, anser and end calls in addition to giving Ssiri instructions. With the BT, when the rechargeable battery dies, you can use a cable to connect it directly to your device for uninterrupted listening. I liked the HK because out of the box, they sounded natural and warm. The beats were very boomy and the downside was they required battery and an app on your device to control the sound frequency if you don’t like all the bass. I bought them after comparing them to Bose and Beats. I have both Harman Kardon BT and CL headsets.

It’s funny how I never thought about the things you asked when I shopped for my headsets. If I'm asking for the impossible, or if it's a known fact that this can't be done, somebody enlighten me please :) So my question is, is there a Bluetooth headset that will allow me to: check who's calling, use the phone with VO to answer, ignore or dismiss calls with a text while the phone is ringing? If so, does anybody have any recommendations? I saw the review for the Plantronics m50 on this site, I've tried the m70 and couldn't get VO to work during incoming calls, so not sure if this 1 would work, and I can't find it locally to try it out.Īny suggestions/ideas welcome.

I've tried some headsets that audibly alert you when a call is coming in, others that just beep, and even a Samsung that allows the phone's ringer to ring through, but with none of these can I use VO to check the number or person who is calling, or to use the reject with a text options, VO cannot be heard at all through phone or headset.

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the iPhone or some setting that needs changing, but I can't seem to check the callerID with voiceOver when using a Bluetooth headset. I have been trying out various Bluetooth headsets on my iPhone 6 over the last few weeks, from: Plantronics, Jabra and even Samsung.
