Hi, I believe this may be a problem with your headset. I think I read somewhere that some headsets have a feature where they basically use the microphone to play back what they pick up in your surroundings so you can hear what is going on around you while you wear the headset. I don't know if this is your problem but it might be and you may want to check your headphone's user manual to see if there is such a setting and then disable it to see if that fixes your problem.

My original problem was when I connect the Jabra Extreme 2 to my iPhone, when I call any phone number, I listen to myself through the Jabra's microphone. In this case, I am listening to the environment around me, including my own voice. I couldn't listen to the other party on the phone, although he can listen to my voice properly. Jabra's Microphone works instead of the phone device which is supposed to be connected to the bluetooth. The source of this problem is VoiceOver. When I completely remove VoiceOver from the iPhone memory, this problem with Jabra Extreme 2 no longer exists. In other words, If I turn VoiceOver off using the 3-time button prress, and then call any number, I can listen to the phone call properly. The same situation was replicated with one of my friends, who has another Bluetooth headset called: PLT_A170. So, How can I reach Apple technical support to fix this problem with our iPhone 5 units and Jabra extreme 2? Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

There is a simple process on my motorola HX550 for returning the headset to factory settings and then it goes back to pairing mode. Also you can go into bluetooth on the iPhone and tell it to forget your bluetooth device. But this hasn't solved my problem. I did learn that people can hear me if this happens so if I remain calm I can close the boom on my headset and reopen it and this stops the strange behavior though it isn't optimal. Somehow i think it has something to do with airplay which I see selected in my app switcher but I could be wrong about this. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I've also had this with placing a call; I think the call goes through but I hear my own environment; for instance if I have an audiobook playing I'll hear that right through my headset instead of the call.
