No stereo bluetooth as a recommendation? Incomplete IMHO.

Missing the best Bluetooth headphone (with mike) for on the mac. I use my macbook very often in public places. And a good Bluetooth headset would be nice. Any suggestions?

No doubt, those headphones/headsets are “best of breed” available, but as some of the brands are not widely available here in Germany/Czech Republic (living in both coutries…), let me share my “top list”. As I am keen to get rid off all the wires, all headphones I am listing bellow rely on BT technology:

1) Plantronics BackBeat 903+ (http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-903-plus?skuId=sku5630014) – stereo, A2DP profile, wireless, long-life battery, crystal-clear sound – ideal for running, jogging, biking

2) Plantronics Voyager Pro (http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-pro-uc?skuId=sku5720074) – mono, but in Plantronics-sound quality and more importantly – with Multipoint technology so I am connected to both my iPhone and Cisco’s IP phone on my desk at the same time ;-)

3) Jawbone Era () – NoiseAssasin 3.0 rocks, it tells me the number calling in or name of the person (provided I have him/her stored in my iPhone) so I do not have to look at the display to come with proper greeting and as one of the few one-ear BT headsets it has A2DP profile so I can listen to my audiobooks/podcasts (I’m not too much into music so I don’t case it’s mono)!!! I know there’s a way to make A2DP profile work with any BT headset, but that requires jailbroken iPhone (I use it without jailbreak).

Hope your readers will find this useful!!!

No doubt, that the headphones/headsets you’ve listed are a “gemstones” in this category, but as some of those are not in sales in Germany/Czech Republic where I live, let me share 3 other headphones I use that might be of interest for the readers – I’m BT-focused so most of my gadgets are cordless (with the aim not to sacrifice quality ;-)
1) Plantronics BackBeat 903 – superb alternative for Sennheiser Adidas if you want to go wireless
2) Plantronics Voyager Pro – mono, but it’s multipoint so I have both my iPhone and Cisco’s IP phone on my desktop connected to it at the same time!!!
3) Jawbone Era – again mono, but Noise Assasin 3.0 rocks, there’s a voice feedback of the number or name (if stored on my iPhone) calling in so I do not have to look at the display to come with proper greeting! And – it has A2DP profile by default so I can listen to my entire audiobook library on my iPhone though it (I’m more into audiobooks and podcasts so I do not care much it’s mono…).
