Yoyoyo, the 2-wire-coexistence stuff. Sure this will work with high bandwidth

Just a big bunch of nerds trying to look important. None of them is listening 
to music, while still able to take a call without panically removing the 
earpieces to listen to the phone-earspeaker ;-)
The *real* geeks are wearing huge closed-type stereo headsets, which you can 
find rarely in decent quality with BT. If you find you pay a fortune. Decent 
quality wired stereo headsets are much more easy to find.
