It sounds to me like allot of people are misunderstanding the differences between an ear peace and a head set. An ear peace is for making and answering phone calls. A head set is for listening to music but may also answer phone calls.
If I want to listen to music, I use a head set with no mike. I'm sitting down, laying down etc. The reason is I'm listening to music and not out on the streets walking around. When I am, I use a Bluetooth ear peace which lets me make and take phone calls it does not let me listen to music. I don't need the distractions of music when I'm going somewhere. I'm usually taking my cane these days as my Leader Dog is retired and I don't like the wus dogs the schools are putting out now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 4:32 AM Subject: RE: lost my Plantronics M50 Hi Sherry, I guess we have to wait and see what Raul says, but my guess is that you can't control playback with the M50. It seems that things like Play/Pause, Previous and Next and so on are relatively common features on Bluetooth stereo headsets, but are not part of single earpieces. I had bought a Jawbone ERA at one point which is one of the more expensive headsets and I currently have a Jabra Supreme which is also $99 and neither one of them allowed you to do Play/Pause which for me would be enough. At least the new Audible app is now much better at resuming playback after a phone call. Before the update it would pause when a call came in, but after the call was done it would not resume and if I was using my Jabra and had the phone tucked away I always had to dig out the phone and start the book again. Now it continues to play after the call and for me that's a huge improvement.

Can you start and stop the book with the earpiece? I have the Blue Ant and I can not control books or music with it. And to contact Siri I have to say Phone Commands and then wait while the earpiece says a whole long sentence about connecting to my phone's built in phone commands. It is ok for calls and listening to voice over when I am holding the phone and flicking but I really miss the music and book control. So don't get the Blue Ant for books.

Gallegos Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2013 10:07 PM To: ViPhone List Subject: lost my Plantronics M50 Hi all. yesterday I went to Austin to take a certification test for the state so I can legally train consumers with the state. In any case, I took my Plantronics M50 head phone, or rather, ear piece since it's for a single ear, with me, and somewhere between leaving the Chris Cole center and the Greyhound bus I lost it. I don't know if I dropped it out of my shirt pocket when I took something else out of it, or if I took it off and just left it there in the station. In any case, today I went out for some personal life things and really missed having the ear piece with me. So, now I find myself at Amazon, ready to purchase a replacement M50, but then am thinking that since I love exploring new items and trying out new things, maybe I should get a different kind. Then when I think of this I have second and third thoughts because I really like the M50. It's super light, has decent enough volume, and since I mainly use it for VoiceOver and Audio book or podcast listening, I am hesitant to buy another different brand. I've looked at this list's archives and see a few other models people have recommended, but I'm still not sure. I guess there is no point to this message other than saying that if you get used to something and then you don't have it, you will know how much you really liked it if you miss it a lot. -- Raul A.
