    easy to pair with 2 different phone and switching between the phones, able to stream music from one phone and answer a call from the other music pauses and resumes after call is complete, distance between the phone and Bluetooth is good about 30 ft or so, phone and Bluetooth usually within 6 of each other most of the time so range not really an issue for me

    Plantronics - Explorer 505 Bluetooth Headset, I have a HOT ROD and that is why I bought it. When the car is running it's almost useless, I use it for walking around car shows and for that it works fine.

    This is made specifically for handsfree calling but it is super hard to hear while driving. The volume needs to be a lot louder. Other than that it works great.
