Jawbone/Iphone 5?

[spincut]

Are they pretty much the best go to wireless headsets at this point? I've bought a BlueAnt, hated it, I am barely liking the Motorola one I got stuck on me either. Some have recommended the Platronics one that is huge, but it seems a bit too legacy for me.

And despite Jawbone being pretty popular, I was a bit concerned to hear the Era is kind of a step down?

Seems so hard to find a bluetooth headset that fits well, works well, and sounds well. And I really would like to stop making all my phone calls with my phone against my face. Sometimes after super long phone calls I just wonder how long it will be before I have a tumor ....

Forget Jawbone or that big Plantronics Legend. Plantronics just released the Voyager Edge. It's the best bluetooth headset I've ever used... and I've tried just about all of them. Pairs easily with my 5s, too.

It ain't cheap, but it does everything I could want in a bluetooth headset.

Me personally, I really like the Plantronics Voyager Legend. I've been using it for about 11 months now and have zero complaints. Comfortable, good battery life, pairs to my work phone and personal phone at the same time. Really nothing I'd change.

Ok, let's just agree that we don't need to talk about the Legend in this thread . Yes, I know it's great, it's also old, clunky ugly and just all around a bit out of date. Respect to the fact that it is indeed hands down an excellent headset, but surely it can't be the only (or most up to date) game in town?

The Edge looks interesting...namely because the charging station WASN'T part of the headset like I though it was based on what I know about it's older sibling . It's a spiffy update, but it still looks kind of like something that belongs in a call center .

But yeah, I have been hearing increasingly bad things about Jawbones latest Era redesign, and just can't seem for the life of me to find anything that is solid quality and pairs well with new Iphones (well, except the aforementioned Plantronics clunkers).

Okay, then this little Plantronics M65 is pretty nifty. I used it until picking up the Edge, last week.

It has a little better battery life than the Edge, but not quite as good call quality or voice commands.

Fair enough. I didn't get the sense that you were that against it based on the orig post. My apologies.

Carry on!

I have the Era and really enjoy it, great sound, plays music through the earpiece as well as customized ringtones. Also has great battery life and meter pops up on my 5S telling me how much juice is left as well as a single tap on the earpiece button.

I have no complaints about the Era, but I've had it a while. Have they released a new model in the last 6-8 months?
