Along this same line, has anyone had experience with the Kinivo Bluetooth Stereo Headset? I saw on a Dealnews posting that it's on sale for $20.00 at newEgg today. In general, is there any particular spec one needs to keep in mind for VoiceOver to work properly when browsing for a stereo headset device? I've got the Plantronics M50, but was also looking into getting a stereo headset too.
In any event, below is the link to the Dealnews posting I referenced earlier if anyone wants to give it a look. http://dealnews.com/Kinivo-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset-for-21-free-shipping/733 551.html -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Katey Glass Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 10:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Bluetooth LG Stereo Headsets Hello Allen & All, Well, this is interesting that it is an iOS problem, but does sound plausible. When my fiance came home from work I had him to pair it to his Droid Bionic and it works to his satisfaction. He played Pandora and didn't experience the dropping or crackeling sounds I did on Pandora on my 4S. Also, he's sighted and doesn't use talk back on his droid, I may see if it works, but I won't be switching! So, since his 700 is relitively new, we'll trade for now. However, once the new iPhone comes out later this year we may have to get a new bluetooth for him! Also, I forgot to mention earlier that reading using Read2Go was also an awful experience, as it seemed that I'd lose a few words on each sentence. Also, typing without VoiceOver on (as I do have a little vision) wasn't a good experience either as the key clicks wouldn't even come through the headset.
