Keep in mind that even the best Bluetooth earpiece or headset has what I consider to be one major limitation: a small delay which is not really noticeable when you use it to make a phone call or listen to you're your GPS has to say, but if you try and write something like a text message or email I at least find this delay to be extremely annoying and it slows down your typing speed on the regular virtual keyboard. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 both support Bluetooth 4.0, but I don't think I have seen anything other than Bluetooth 2.1 being used for the headsets I tried including the high-end Jawbone ones. I have a stereo Bluetooth headset which I used sometimes at home when I want to listen to a book while I vacuum or work in my woodworking shop and I don't want a cable and at the same time don't need to really "use" the phone.For anything else the earpods are my choice.

And the earphone itself has nothing to do with whether or not VoiceOver and other auditory output is delivered well, That would be a function of the iPhone itself (or whatever device sending those signals) might be. What I mean is that the sound delivered to the earphone can only be as good as the sound as it is generated on the originating device. Myself, I've become fond of the Motorola Bluetooth Earphones -- there are several models and they tend to be extremely compact and don't stick in your ear(s) like a sore thumb. The microphone boom is really cool, too. It isn't really a boom so much as a sort of flap that folds off the earphone itself to lie flat against your cheek. ---------------- Holland's Boy, Bill - "I spilled spot remover on my dog.
