Raul, Have you tried Jabra Extreme? It has all the features you mentioned. It has a special key for noise cancellation in case you are in a noisy environment. The nice lady's voice will tell me "two devices connected" when my two phones are connected. Pairing is very fast! I love it! Godwin

They really sound like a very good product. I've just bought plantronics m50 which are still in the post. May be I will get another pair like yours too if the Plantronics m50 are not satisfactory.

After many hours of doing research on the net, reading reviews on Amazon, and reading messages on this list, I ended up purchasing something totally different. In short, I was out with my family because my wife and daughter were shopping for a dress because she's going to her first school dance next week. *my life is over*. Oh, I'm getting off track... Seriously, so we went to Best Buy because I wanted to see if they have any of the headphones I've been reading about, but also because I'm a geek and just like going to Best Buy even though I normally don't buy from there. > > In short, after asking about various headsets and all that, the rep told me about the new ones they just got in from Motorola. The S11-HD. I had read on Amazon the reviews of the S8 and S10 and they seemed ok, but hadn't jumped out at me. However upon doing a quick web check while I was there, I saw they were supposed to retail for $129. Best buy had them for $59. I figured that since I'd be paying around $40 or $50 from Amazon to get the others I was looking for, I might as well snag myself one of these since they seemed to be half off. Later the rep confirmed that they had the wrong price, but since she said $59, and since that's what was shown on the display, she got the manager to override the price and sold it to me for that plus tax. So, $64 later I walked out with my new Bluetooth headphones. These are awesome. For starters they come with extra ear buds so in case the default attached ones are not to your ear's liking, you can switch them out. The specs claim a range of up to 150 feet. Although I'm a bit skeptical of that, I can confirm that walking around my house while the iPhone was charging in my bedroom didn't cause the music to drop out, turn into static or anything like that. The phone call I was on also stayed clear. I was able to cause interference by closing the doors to my bedroom and walking into the garage across the house and also closing the door behind me. Still though, that is awesome! Pairing them was a snap, when you power them on, a pleasant female voice walks you through the steps and the pairing mode was automagically enabled. So all I did was go into the iPhone's Bluetooth device section and they were there. I connected them and wasn't asked for a pin, but the nice girl inside the headphones informed me that if a pin was asked of me, the code is 0000. Once paired, she informed me that the pairing was successful and then told me how much talk time I had. The iPhone shows the battery status of the headphones as well, so that's a neat little feature. While the girls went for more shopping and later when we ate dinner at the mall, visited more clothing stores, and played at the AT&T store, I wore them and didn't feel uncomfortable. I can push the ear bud tips all the way in my ear to seal off outside noise, or I can leave them just outside my ear and that way I can hear people and things around me. Even if the phone locked and went to sleep, I was still able to hear the occasional sounds my phone makes if I get a push notification. I was able to easily receive and make calls, and I was easily able to start and stop the music. There is more I can write about this new purchase, but these are the basics. > > Cheers. > > -- > Raul A.
