Wi-Gear has upgraded the iMuffs for compatibility and optimization with the iPhone. Previously reviewed October 2007 here at GearDiary, the wireless headphone consistently delivers good performance and comfort for extended wearing periods whether sitting on your duff, driving, walking or exercising. Last year’s model had some initial compatibility issues with the 1st edition of the iPhone, but has been resolved with both iPhone models (3G) with an improved range and less susceptiblily to radio interference

The iMuffs use Bluetooth 2.0 and Advance Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) via the dongle that plugs into the base of your iPod or iPhone. iMuffs work with the newest iPhone 3G models as well as Apple iPod devices including the iPod classic, iPod Nano and iPod touch. Also, the headphone works when paired with any Bluetooth compatible source whether it is a cell phone or as tested with an Apple iMac running OSX with mixed results.

Amazon has the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset on sale now for $68.99. This is about $10 cheaper than other pricing that I’ve found online. Judie reviewed this headset in July with positive reviews about the earpieces ability to pair simultaneously to two phones as well as the charging case that tops off your earpiece battery when needed. Plantronics is on of the few Bluetooth headsets that I’ve found which support pairing to two phones at the same time. Over 224 reviews on Amazon rate this 4 (out of 5) stars for satisfaction.
