Sounds like a great option, especially as you don’t need the microphone and
don’t need to keep your headphone port free for something else. A slightly
fuzzy signal from interference would be preferable to how Blue Tooth cuts out.
Cheers,

This sounds like more of what I may be looking for. I didn't know this was an
option. I needed to be able to move freely around the office but not be
connected. I definitely need something reliable. And preferably not as
noticeable but hey I guess I can't ask for too much.

That is what I do with my iMac but not bluetooth, I use a Sennheiser
wireless pair of headphones, no microphone. This uses radio frequency which
has a much longer range than bluetooth which is limited.
I combine the RF headphones with an Apple bluetooth keyboard and I can be on
the iMac from anywhere in my house, including the level below, so long as
the keyboard is still within the bluetooth range.
If bluetooth goes out of range it stops completely whereas RF does not stop,
it begins to weaken or get some interference.
Similar cost for a decent pair. The Wireless RF has a powered base that
plugs into the audio out port, the headphones port.

Do they make bluetooth ear buds for the computer? I’m asking because I need
a way to hear the computer without interrupting everyone else but still be
free to move around and not be wired to the computer.

Factoring in that I’m avoiding paying for a new wired headset, I’d say
$100 would be ok, maybe up to $120?
My current headset, which now that I hear the pairning info in my iPhone
is a M165, not a 155, is the single ear earpiece type, with a 2 inch body
with an earbud protrusion at one end and a loop for over the ear. In
addition to making me feel like a secret service agent, it also lets in
ambient conversations so I can be interrupted while I’m working. When I
use my stock iPhone wired headset, I almost always only put one earbud in.
I think what I’m looking for is a better version of my M165, same form
factor but addressing its defficiencies. Music playback and Siri control
from the headset so I don’t have to dig the phone out of my pocket,
ability to record voice memos from the headset would be great, something
in the way Voiceover and the M165 interact keeps this from
happening…reminds me of the way back days of single channel sound cards
meaning you could play music and have JFW speaking at the same
time.Although, now that I think about it it doesn’t play nice with audio
recording functions on my Mac either. But I digress, Doesn’t have to be
Plantronics, that just happens to be what they had at the store when I got
my current one a couple of years ago.
Thanks for any wisdom you can offer.

Hi,
What price range are you looking in? and do you prefer in ear or, on ear
headphones?

My wired iPhone headset is starting to give me indications of imminent
failure, thinking I could use the opportunity to get a Blue Tooth
headset. I currently have a Plantronics M155, but it doesn’t have
controls for Siri and music/podcasts. It also survived a trip through
the washer and is still working with only a small drop in sound quality,
so it doesn’t owe me anything.
So, any recommendations on a Blue Tooth headset that integrates Siri and
music/podcast controls? I’m looking for the kind that hangs out in one
ear, leaving the other ear free to pretend I’m listening to my kids talk.
Looks like the one in the Plantronics line-up is the M70, anyone have
experience with that one?
