Bluetooth handsfree / headsets with caller id on android or iphone

To be able to hear caller name in you bluetooth headset it must support the bluetooth protocol PBAP or Phone Book Access Profile - aka caller announce feature.

Plantronics has 3 headsets that offer this feature : Voyager Legend, Voyager Legend UC (B235/B235-M), Voyager Edge.
From Jabra : JABRA EXTREME2


If your headset does not support the protocol no play-store app will help you - I tries dozens of them.

Other bluetooth headset protocols are :

  • A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile):you can listen to audio from the phone (music, gps indications, youtube etc)
  • HFP (Hands Free Profile) : you can redial last number and activate voice dialing
  • AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) : control audio from device : stop, play, forward, backwards etc
