I like talking on the phone but hate holding an iPhone up to my ear to talk. I've been using a headset on my cordless phone (landline) for years. I like having my hands free when I'm on the phone. I wanted to use my Plantronics headset with my iPhone but couldn't figure out how to do it until this past Christmas. I bought a lightning to headphone jack at Best Buy and I ordered a 254 to 3.5 adapter (female to male) from NewEgg. Now I can use my headset with my iPhone. I like the earpad over my right ear. I never put it on my left ear.
