Default Best bluetooth device for iphone5c

I just bought a Bluetooth for my wife's iPhone 5c from Costco. it was a Motorola elite flip. There is an echo on it when paired with the iPhone 5. when you pair it with an android it works fine. The echo is mostly on the callers end. Has anyone had any luck with some other brands?

Don't know about the iPhone 5C, but I have a 4s, and have used both the Motorola Elite Sliver and the Plantronics Voyager PRO HD with great results. How old is the 5C? See if someone else you know has a 5C or other 5 version iPhone that you can pair the headset with and see if it does the same thing. If so, might be an issue with the phone that would be covered under Apple's warranty.

Why do you ask how old the 5c is?!

Cuz if it's within 30 days of purchase and it's a problem with the phone and not the Bluetooth then he could probably get it swapped pretty easy. If it's over 30 days from purchase maybe not.

They haven't been out that long. They came out in September of last year. I would try some other Bluetooth devices and if it does the same thing then take it to an apple store and let the geniuses look at it.

My bad. She has the iphone 5 and she has had it for 17 months. The battery on it is trashed. I have to figure out how to get that fixed.

I have a 5s and I have used the jawbone jam box and I like it. Also the I have a little bullet Bluetooth speaker that's awesome too. I use it when I'm outside working on my bikes. Gotta put a radio in the shop. As for the battery look on YouTube there should be tutorials on how to change it. If it's the same was as an iPhone 4/4s then anyone can do it. It's literally 3 screws and 5 minutes of your time.
