Hi Keith and Merv, OK, so I guess that is why this list exists. I tried all sorts of stuff, but I hadn’t tried pushing and holding the voice control button on the boom arm or maybe not long enough. Yes, Keith, it works perfectly. It is also good to know that the earpiece senses that it is being removed, the Plantronics Backbeat Sense stereo headset I also purchased recently does that as well and it’s a nice feature. Now I am quite happy with my purchase. Of course I have to dig out my old Jabra and try pushing and holding the button on the boom arm, maybe it will also play/pause that way and I would have used it for years not knowing about it.

I was able to successfully pause and restart both music from the Music app, and an Audible book. Near the top of the boom on which the mic is located is a small button. I just held it down for about 2 to 3 seconds until I heard a beedp, and it paused or restarted playback. Hope this works for you, Keith From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 6:11 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Plantronics Voyager Edge headset Hi List, I just received my Plantronics Voyager Edge headset today. From all the descriptions I expected it to be smaller, this headset is not really smaller than my Jabra Supreme which in fact is smaller when it is folded. The main difference is that the Supreme sits on the ear and requires a hook and the Edge goes a bit in the ear and seems to stay in place quite securely. It also feels quite comfortable. Anyhow, I had asked prior to purchasing whether it is possible to play/pause audio with this headset and I was told it is. I think Cristobal was one of the people who answered, but I could be wrong. Anyways, I’d really appreciate if I could be enlightened as to the secret on how to do this. I pushed every button I could find on this when I had an Audible book playing, but it does not seem to be possible to pause playback this way. All I can find on this headset is an on/off slider switch, volume up and down buttons (they all sit sort of on the edge, then there is a button on the back of the little boom arm which, when pressed says “Say a command” and there is the main area where if you press without anything going on the headset announces the remaining talk time, when the phone rings this becomes the answer/hang up button and if you press and hold for a moment it invokes SIRI. Answering a call by saying “Answering” when the phone is ringing also seems to work well, but this also was reliable with my Jabra Supreme and in fact everything else from the button on the boom arm to the volume buttons and so on is extremely similar to my old Jabra. . I primarily invested in this relatively expensive headset because I really like the ability to play or pause audio and I’d be quite disappointed if this wasn’t possible especially after having people tell me it was.
