I disagree, and believe that some bluetooth headphones sound better than others on a call. The Plantronics 5200 and prior generations sound pretty good. If you get a headset from blueparrot, you'll find that their microphones are great, and those tend to be used by truckers. I mean, call quality depends on your carrier and whether or not you are on an HD call, as well as on the phone in question, but some headsets are better than others to be sure.
