Just showed up today. I can sadly confirm that while multipoint exists, there's no a2dp.
I'm using Bluetooth Audio Widget on my Droid X to pipe Google Maps voice directions to the headset, but I'd imagine doing it this way is a much larger strain on the headset battery, since it seems apps like this and Super BT Mono open a constant connection to the headset. I'm taking a 7-hour drive next weekend with Google Maps running the whole way, so I'm going to see exactly how bad the drain is on the headset battery. If it can last that long with no recharge midway, that will be more than good enough for me. I'll update once this happens.
Regarding the issue of comfort...I can confidently say this is by far the most comfortable Bluetooth headset I have ever worn. Comfortable enough for a full 8-hour work day? That remains to be seen. I wore it for a good 4-5 hours or so today...I don't have complaints, and it's light...but it definitely felt like I was wearing a headset, I didn't "forget about it" like so many reviews have mentioned. That said, I see this being a winner.
Someone in a review mentioned putting the headset on first, then your glasses, if you wear glasses. I don't really think this makes a difference in most cases, but let me share this tip: If you wear glasses, use an earplug size that at least loosely "grips" your ear, otherwise you will probably jostle the headset every time you adjust your glasses. I found the middle plug worked best for me...small size was too loose of a fit, and the large size was uncomfortable.
Audio quality is alright from my tests so far. No complaints from my callers. Incoming quality is merely okay. The headset gets nice and loud, but starts distorting near the top end of the volume spectrum.
Overall, I really, really like it. If it had a2dp, I'd love it. My needs are very specific though. If you need Jawbone-level noise cancellation or sound quality, look elsewhere... but if you are like me and gave up on countless bluetooth headsets due to the comfort issue, absolutely give this a look.
TxdoHawk: It's been a year since this thread but now I'm in a similar situation as you where I work from home on the phone 5-8 hours a day (with breaks). I'm torn between a Voyager Pro and a Motorola Oasis. I NEED something comfortable (the Oasis) but how is the sound on the other end? If I have a very comfortable headset but the client's can't hear me it's a moot point. However, my office is very quiet.
