Hi Bill,
This is one example where you at least to some degree get what you pay for. Your generic Monoprice Bluetooth earpiece has a 4 hour talk time and less than 3 day standby time, it is Bluetooth 2.1 (the latest Bluetooth version which gives the best sound quality and smallest delays is version 4.0) and it also makes no mention of supporting the A2DP profile which is needed so Voiceover can come through the earpiece. With higher-end headsets you typically get better sound quality, at least dual microphones and some sort of noise cancelling technology and in many cases voice prompts or the ability to answer or decline a call by saying "Answer" or "Decline". Maybe this sounds like not much, but I often found this ability in my $90 Jabra Supreme earpiece very useful when I was walking along having my dog's harness in one hand and a shopping bag in the other. Bluetooth headsets are notorious for not sounding that great, have echos and so on and in my experience only the higher-end ones are even remotely acceptable.

Yesterday I went in to my local A T & T store. And purchased the Motorola h 17 text. \The sales person said that the only thing that the h 19 text had over the h 17 was. That the H 19 had the NFC connection for android phones. \And since I didn't have an android in having an iPhone I didn't need that future. but when thing I didn't think of asking about was how long the H 17 battery life was. Well when I got home I looked it up and from what I Google it said. that the H 17 has five hours of talk time. So I looked up the H 19 and saw that it had 9 hours of talk time. Now I got the H 17 for A little over 80.00. And the H 19 was for 100.00. When I saw the battery life listed for the H 17. That I had just purchased I said to myself. I should have gotten the H 19 for the longer battery life. Since I was spending almost 100.00 anyway. So I will ask on hear. What do you all think? Would you keep the H 17 or exchange it and get the H 19 text for the 9 hours of battery life? Since I am spending almost 100.00 for the H 17 and 20.00 more the the H 19 text? I feel that I should have spend the more money and gotten the H 19 text instead. So everyone hear please look in to the two ear pieces and let me know what you think. Thank you all and have A nice day. -- Casey -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
