Hi- would appreciate recomendations for lightweight bluetooth headset that works with my kindle hd and iphone5. Prefer over the ear hook type to earbuds. Do not like headband style, so does anyone use a behind the neck or around the neck type they like?

Will be using for walking, riding bike at gym and on planes. TIA for your help, Rose

I still love my original Jawbone, but I haven't tried the later versions and can't imagine using that to do anything but make a phone call because it only has sound in one ear. It wouldn't be very good for music or watching a movie.

The Jawbones all have an earbud piece and a hook to go over the ear. My ears are small and I was never able to use the original iPod ear buds without them either falling out or hurting my ears. The Jawbone came with earpiece covers of different sizes and shapes and I was able to find one that worked for me.

Thanks for the rec Chynna. I have the smal problem with the iphone earbuds falling out or being uncomfortable.

I have a set of earbud headphones with inline mic to use with my cell. You can look for products from http://www.meelec.com/ I liked the m-duo so much I brought a second set. These do cancel noise, come with a carry case, and six sets of earbuds.

I had Motorola that I used for several years that I liked. But when I got my last phone they didn't seem to like each other. I don't use a smartphone, though, but my husband has an iPhone and he used the same model until he got his car set up.

With my new, POS, phone I just went back to using one of the over-the-head Panasonic headsets that I use with my house phones. Kind of miss using the blutooth, but Motorola is a good brand. I think the last one I had was something like H730 (model#). It still works great - just not with my stupid phone.
