Well, there are several factors to consider. First, the headset must support the A2DP (AADP) profile. This profile is the stereo music channel, so almost all stereo bluetooth headsets support it. If the headset states it plays music, whether single ear or both ears, it most probably supports A2DP. When shopping online, check the tech specs to be certain. No brands support A2DP profile across their entire line. Usually, the more expensive bluetooth earpieces and headsets support A2DP.
Are you looking for a single earpiece or a stereo headset. The single earpiece is more likely to not support A2DP. If A2DP is supported, VO will automatically work through the headset. If not supported, VO will only come through the headset during a call. Otherwise, VO will speak through the device speaker, just as it does currently. If you want two-device simeltaneous support, the Motorola elite series, Motorola H17TXT and H19TXT, and the PlanTronics Legend, all support this. Also, all of these headsets are one ear, and have spoken prompts and announcements. Most modern headsets are able to auto-pair when selected in the phone so one does not need to enter a four digit pin.
