I've read that the 4S supports a newer version of Bluetooth (4.0). Is there a headset out there that fully supports and takes advantage of this? What headset do people around here recommend?

I'm looking to invest in one that plays nice with Siri so I can chat with her in the car. ;) Looking for something comfortable, not bulky, and preferably one that I can listen to music on in a pinch.

Edit: Oh, and one that plays nice with the Tom Tom app would be great too!
 
Bluetooth 4.0 is only used for low level inputs to devices, but an extremely nice headset, probably one of the nicest ones out there, and definitely one you won't be replacing for many years to come would be the Plantronics Voyager Pro+

I currently use it, and even though it's a $100 headset, it's more than worth the cost. You can get it at a discount on amazon for $80

I might finally cave in and get that one. I've tried a whole bunch of them and have a BT speakerphone in my car right now but I don't think it's doing the trick.

The Plantronics just seems so big! haha But, I consistently here that it's a really good headset.

Thanks for the recommendations! I've also heard good things about Plantronics... Has anyone used either of these with the 4S who can comment on using them with Siri and/or turn-by-turn GPS apps?
 
Another vote for the Plantronics Voyager Pro +. I keep losing them but never hesitate to replace it, even at its price.
