The two headsets I use now, one being Aftershox, have no noticeable lag to me. The other is a cheap off brand that just cost me $20. I have had headsets in the past that had some serious lag, but nothing recently.

IMHO, I think in some cases it's due to aggressive battery savings. In other words, the headset will shut down the speakers when it doesn't think it's receiving any input and then wake the speakers up when something comes in. You'll notice this with VoiceOver but not when streaming something. I can't check this out myself, but someone who has a headset with a serious lag could start streaming something and then see if they see the same lag with VoiceOver.

Yes, but the delay is definitely tolerable with some headsets, this
Plantronics model is not one of them despite the fact that it is a

    Hi List,

    I posted a week or two ago that I had spent some fairly serious
    money ($200 Canadian) for a Plantronics Backbeat Sense bluetooh
    stero headset. I bought it from Amazon and it arrived fairly quickly
    and I have used it off and on for about a week or 10 days now. To
    sum it up, I am returning the headset tomorrow, I already initiated
    the return on the Amazon.ca <http://amazon.ca> website and printed
    the return shipping label.

    The main reason why I am not keeping it is the aweful lag with
    Voiceover. This is a fairly newly released Bluetooth 4.0 device and
    the delay is horrible. Voiceover doesn’t even keep up if I swipe
    quickly across the icons on the home screen and typing anything is
    just a pain in the neck.

    Apart from that I really like the headset, it is very comfortable,
    battery life is good and the sound quality is impressive for a
    Bluetooth headset. It also has nice controls and I like the feature
    that it senses if you take it off and it automatically pauses
    playback, but that lag is a total deal-breaker. In addition to that
    it sometimes seems to randomly disconnect even if my iPhone is only
    a few feet away.

    So it’s going back and I’ll use the money and then some to buy a new
    Festool cordless drill, at least I know that with that I am getting
    the best there is.

    Best regards,

    Sieghard
