I use the Jawbone Icon. Others have used the Plantronics Voyager PRO/Pro HD. You just need to see which headset supports A2DP. SOme may require you to upgrade the software to enable A2DP support. On Dec 27, 2011, at 5:46 PM, Ed Worrell wrote: > Sense no one would answer me on this one I will a

The headphone must support the A2DP protocol. You might be able to update the firmware; however, you will have to contact the manufacturer of the headphone. This is not a problem with the iPhone or VoiceOver, but instead the headphone. If you choose to replace the headphone you need to ensure it
