Thanks Ricardo for the heads up on the A2DP, I was looking for that anyways to 
ensure music, audio book, and podcast playback, but din't realize it was 
necessary for Voiceover. I almost always use only one earbud anyways, so I'm 
good with the single in-ear kind, best if it can be easily switched from ear to 
ear depending on which side I want to be aware of while I'm listening. That 
usually has to do with where my wife is. There is no way I'll admit to whether 
I need to hear her or block her out.

One Voiceover specific question, I've read a few reviews that say there is a 
way to have things like your headset battery displayed on your iPhone, is this 
information accessible through Voiceover? If it isn't, and that is a deciding 
factor in terms of model, I can skip that feature as a selling point.

As far as price goes, I'm thinking I might need to spend around $60 or $70 to 
get a good unit. If there is any issue with that, I can just move the headset 
over to that side for the discussion and claim not to have heard the argument.

Cheers,

Ian
