Is there any other Iphone 4 users out there having this issue:
Been switching between my Jawbone Icon, Motorola HX1, and Blueant T1 and finding that 20% of the calls the person says the connection is bad and I have to switch off the headset.
Real Bummer. Anyone else having same issue and were you able to solve it?
So I posted here first before going to apple support. Looks like there has been a ton of people having the same issues. I think it is the Bluetooth stack in IOS 4 on the iPhone 4. hope the first patch will fix things up. Until then looks like headphone roulette.
I'm having the same problem - when I'm talking to someone on my iPhone 4 via my Motorola HX1 headset they complain that they can barely understand me...a friend of mine has the exact same setup (iPhone 4 and Motorola HX1) and I can verify that the connection sounds like crap. If he switches off the headset and talks via the phone, all is good. I have a Jabra BT530 that someone complained about once, but it seems to be loud and clear most of the time.
On my previous phone, an iPhone 3g, I never had this bluetooth issue using the same headsets.
I'll call apple support too and see what they have to say.
On the upside, I'm happy that ringtones now ring through to the headsets, as opposed to just hearing the generic ringtone in my ear.
I wish I could get music to stream to my ear using my HX1...music will only stream to my ear using my Jabra.
I really wonder if the Bang and Olufsen Earset 2... the most comfy headset I've ever worn... works better with the 4 vs. the old 3GS? I had problems before, so I returned it. I'm not going to cross my fingers that it's any better with the 4.
I have an iPhone 4 and Motorola H710 and people tell me I sound muffled. I have a friend with the same and that person sounds muffled. I have an iPhone 3G with the same Motorola H710 and do not have this problem.

Absolutely.
The wife has a Sony Ericsson HBH PV 703 headset that works flawlessly with a plethora of Nokia and Sony phones we own, but is awful around 50% of the time (on incoming calls) with her iPhone4.
Outgoing calls are *usually* fine, but it is annoying (and unsafe) to for her to be dialling back to ensure a clear conversation while driving!
Also, the issue appears unrelated to background noise, and occurs in all signal areas.
Really disappointed that the 'phone' part of the iPhone is so subpar and inferior to ALL its competition.

Go back and look at the history of the iPhones. None has worked when released...they've all had to be significantly patched and hacked to even function adequately. But, they do this in relatively short order and then the phone parts of the iPhones work beautifully.
I've said it before...Apple drones will buy anything, if Steve says to do it. The rest of us wait a while longer, for their products to be made functional.
Google the "MacBook Wheel" for a satirical look at this phenomenon.

Chuck I am no apple fanboy for sure but they aren't the only one with the phone part being subpar. I honestly believe the termsmartphone is a misnomer no matter whose it is but until Android started giving iphone a run for its money with lousy stacks, iphone ruled the cumbersome to call on market.
the more I see The Next Big Thing(s) hit the market the more I like my clunky old Omnia1 and the more I use it for a phone the more I like my Dare.

There used to be two classes of smartphones. Smart phones, and PDA phones. I've always gravitated towards the smartphones because they were phones first, and had computer functions added as a secondary design element. PDA phones were computers first, and phones second. Of course, I'm an HTC fan, but I don't keep up with the phone fads. My most recent device is a DASH s620.
This has been my long time beef with Blackberry phones. Originally they were messaging devices, and they had phone functions added as an afterthought. Literally an afterthought. Consequently, Blackberries were lousy phones, but great devices. (And, before anyone calls me out on this, the more recent Blackberry phones have gotten MUCH better as phones.)
The difference between Blackberry and iPhone is that even given that they were lousy phones, Blackberries actually *functioned* as phones on the day they were released. Their hardware and software worked, together, and had been put through actual testing.
iPhone, when each new version is released, does not function...software updates repair their flawed phone software and BT stacks, and unleash a genuinely good device.
Apple makes a genuinely good device...and this, from someone who is the opposite of an Apple fanboy. But they always manage to screw it up in software, and it is such a consistent pattern that it *must* be purposeful. They're jerking their customers around, and it's so obvious that it implies that it's being done by design.

Yeah, I saw that too. They got it out there in one of the first substantive slides, without ever officially admitting to the problem before yesterday!
Whatever. Par for the (stuck-up Apple-esque) course!
If the issue is fixed, my wife and I will be happy (she has the 4)! We suffered through another annoying warbly-hangup-redial-warbly conversation with 4 calls over 20 minutes during our morning commute again today. Ugh.
