I usually just start with the wikipedia page on Bluetooth, but this article seems to do a good job of explaining the benefits in Bluetooth 3.0 http://gizmodo.com/5232940/giz-explains-everything-bluetooth-and-why-bluetooth-30-is-better

Seems like you get better speeds, more responsiveness and less battery consumption. I think you get more of the same with Bluetooth 4.0. Neither 3.0 nor 4.0 increased the maximum range for Bluetooth.

Thank you for clarifying that aspect. So, since I thought the major difference 
between Bluetooth 2.0 and 3.0 was the range, can you point me to more detailed 
information about Bluetooth 3.0?

One tiny point of clarification. From what I've read, bluetooth has a maximum 
range of 100 meters or approximately 333 feet, and this includes the 2.0 
specification. Class 1 devices (transmitters and receivers) can theoretically 
attain this range, but most devices are class 2 with an effective range of 10 
meters or 33 feet. Class 3 devices are for very short ranges, only up to 1 
meter or 3 feet. A lot can interfere with your bluetooth range though, so you 
shouldn't expect to nail that 30 feet. Like I said, I'm just mentioning this 
for clarification. The specification lays out the maximum range but the class 
of device determines how much of that maximum range you can expect.

There are a few things to consider. First, and most important, the bluetooth 
earpiece headset, whether mono or stereo, must support the A2DP profile. This 
profile is normally used for transmission of music over Bluetooth, so almost 
every stereo headset has it. Nowadays, many mono headsets also support the 
profile, but there are still many that do not. If you only hear VO in your 
earpiece during a call, your earpiece does not support A2DP, and the only 
option is to acquire a new earpiece.

Your second issue is a little more complicated. Bluetooth 2.0, which most earpieces 
use, has a range of 10 feet. However, when the iPhone is in your pocket, the water 
content of your body blocks a significant amount of the signal. When I am using my 
Bluetooth "b.0 headset, I cannot get a proper connection if the phone is in the 
pocket on the other side of my body. If I use a coat pocket, the phone is usually 
far enough away from my body that the signal is not strongly mitigated by my body. 
In other words, I can use the phone across my body, unless the jacket construction 
has materials that dampen the signal.

That said, I have a Bluetooth headset which uses Bluetooth 3.0. This profile 
permits a signal of up to 75 feet line of sight. When the iPhone is in my 
pocket on the opposite side of my body, I get a clear signal most of the time. 
There can still be some signal degradation occasionally, but it usually works. 
However, if I put my iPhone in the pocket on the same side as my earpiece, it 
works quite well. The Bluetooth 3.0 earpiece I use is the Motorola H19TXT. 
Note: the H19 does not provide A2DP profile. It must be the H19TXT model.

Hi to all,
this is my first message on the list.
I think that this problem has been already explained. Enyway…
I need to to buy a mono headset bluetooth, fully functional with voice over and 
siri.
Now I own a plantroix pl 165, and I’m encountering some difficulties.
The quality of conversation is not good. If I put the iphone 5c in my pocket, 
sometime I can’t Hear the voice of the conversation.
With siri, my commands don’t work properly: siri doesn’t understand anything, 
or doesn’t understand wath I’m seeing, and she doesn’t answer correctly.
When I receive a new cal, the voice over announces the caller id out of the 
headset, and I have to answer without now how is calling.
I test this headset mono on iphone 4s, iphone 5 and 5c, with latest firmware 
version: iOS 7.0.3.
The results are the same.
But, if I use this device without voiceover, it seems to work properly.
I’m sort for my incorrect English.
Any suggestions? An app to use to fix this problem?
A new model of headset mono to buy’
My italian fiends use a lots of headset, but not mon headset, but stereo 
headset.
I’m totally blind and I have to use a none had set to walk while I’m talking at 
the phone.
I had a dengereus experience using the iphone without anything, because, while 
I’m talking with one of my fiends, someone decided to steal my device form my  
hend.
Hovviously “find my iphone” doesn’t work, because I read about someone able to 
change the serial number and the imdi of the apple devices.

Now I use the device in the pocket. With the headset I can hear the voiceover, 
with a bluetooth mini keyboard I can use the idevice.
Minikeyboard: 20 eurs .

Tanks in advance.

Vincenzo
