Plantronics Legend: Switching from headset to phone all the time

Hello,

I have a problem with my Plantronics Legend in connection with iPhone 4S / IOS6:

It only affects calls. I have the headset on and start a call. I will show me that PLT_Legend is active and I hear it ringing in the headset. Then it switches the sound back to the iPhone! I click on the headset again and have the sound there, and after a second, it's on the iPhone again. This goes for up to 10 times until the call stays on the headset. This is serious. I cannot talk in the car, and can make no business calls!

Thanks in advance,

Julian

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

Do you have any other BT devices, and do they stay connected? If you do, and they are not having issues, it is probably the headset.

I have two of the Plantronics Voyager Legend headsets for me and my wife. One of them kept doing exactally what you described. I took it back an exchanged it, and have not had an issue since.

The only other thing to try is deleting the headset as a device from your phone and try pairing again. Sometimes this does the trick but it sounds like a defective headset.

I am using this headset with iPhone 5 and blackberry. It has the same problem switching back to phone in the middle of conversation. It just started doing it on both phones after 5 months of no problem. I think it is the denser inside the headset thinking I took it off from my ear and switches to phone.

Thanks for your answers.

@gwforeman: I bought another identical model, and this works fine. So it's the headset.

@Wayne: I already did that, with no success

@epekarik: That's how it went with me, too! No problems for months, then the problem started and got worse over time.

In summary it seems like a hardware problem. The last thing I can think of is resetting the headset to manufacturers setting. Did you try that, epekarik? I dunno how to do, if even possible.

Regards, Julian

I have been thru about 6 different headsets lately trying to find one that works well. this is a constant problem I have been having with mulitple models - that it just randomly drops the BT connection in the middle of a conversation. it's definitely not a headset issue as I have had it happen over and over. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I have an iphone 5.
