    I have an iPhone 4 and am looking to get a Bluetooth headset and was getting ready to pull the trigger on a blue parrot when I read a review in regards to it being used specifically with the iPhone. The review stated that the users voice was fading in and out while talking. After talking to customer service they stated it was something to due to the type of Bluetooth that apple uses.

    Does anyone use an iPhone 4 AND a blue parrot headset and if so have you noticed this at all? I don't want to spend the money to find out it was a mistake.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chuck

    I don't have the iPhone 4 yet, but I do have the 3GS model and use a $60 Celltronix Bluetooth headset and have had no complaints.

    I can't imagine it being any different with the iPhone 4 since my 3GS uses the same OS as the 4 does.

    I have an IPhone 4 and use a Jawbone II and it works great and is only a third of the price of the BlueParrot.

    I had a jawbone, worked great but i could never keep the #### thing on/in my ear. Figure the headset would be the better route since i'll use it just when im driving in the truck.....NOT for having full blown conversations in the truck stop bathroom while droppin' a load lol.

    I still have an iPhone 3G and have been told I fade in and out on my Blue tooth Blue parrot, so I have been using my wired blue parrot (BlueParrott CP110) and the sound quality is perfect... but the wire sucks.

    iPhone users beware. It's Russian Roulette but there are widely reported problems with Apple's BT. I have the above mentioned combination and have been through the ringer with problems. My Blue Parrot worked just fine with my old 3G. Google "blue parrot iPhone Bluetooth" (without the quotes) and scroll down. Also read this thread if you're doing a 34: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2481487?start=0&tstart=0

    with the Iphone 4 it seems to be an Iphone4 issue as opposed to a headset issue
    so its more on apples end
