I'll echo Sieghard's comments about the Apple earpods. I also have an iPhone 5 and prefer the wired earpods for the majority of my listening.

If answering phone calls is more important to you, then I would suggest a Bluetooth ear peace such as the Plantronics Voyager Legend. You can still listen to good quality audio books, mp3 music etc and when a phone call comes in, the music gets paused and you can take your phone call. Assuming

You can see that list by opening iTunes, go to your phone and tab a few times to the treeview which starts with Summary, arrow down once to Apps and then use F6 until you get into the list view of apps. You may have apps in that list which are not on the phone, but all that sync with your phone

There are good bluetooth headsets both single earpieces and stereo headsets. However, you will not find a bluetooth headset which will not have a slight lag and the audio quality will not be as good as that of a wired headset. Of course this all depends on your standard and that of the caller on

Jen, Not sure why it’s not there for you, it is right below Summary for me. Maybe others can check and somebody might know why it’s not there for you. Did you try to type “A”, maybe you somehow pass it? That treeview can be a bit slow responding when you first get to it. From: viphone@go
