There's another listing for the mic with no h'phones for $229. Any difference between the two mics? Isn't it obvious to get the one with h'phones?

My conclusion was to get the one with the headphones and that's what I did. As far as I know its the seem mic, and its great!

I was wondering about that too, but there isn't difference between two items. So that, I purchased 'with headphones' and I tested last weekend wedding, it works great! I satisfied a lot :)

There is no difference between the two, the headphones are just a freebie. I was not impressed with the headphones myself so I don't use them, but hey, it's free.

I found no other differences between the two. As a matter of fact, I purchased one of each mic and I can not tell the difference between them.

Correction, I was responding about a different device. I use the phones with my Apple Nano, so I don't use the mic at all.

Mic works just fine and volume control. I think the years are only related to color combinations. The ones I had before were newer and I don't know of any difference

The mic is ok, but the internal speaker is horrible. With external speakers it's fine. Both directions are about telephone quality or a little worse.

I doubt they sell it separate. Maybe call Plantronics up and ask. It is a crap design actually... way too long and gets damaged easily. I also have a logitech headset that has the micro usb dongle and it gets better range. The h800 I think it is.

There is a difference. This H17 is NOT capable of A2DP. So no music or any media.

The 'phones' input in the front is a headphone jack. It is not a microphone input. It is of the bigger size - 6.35 mm. And I just searched through the complete manual and there is on mention of Input jack. Incidentally I also bought a mic last week and been trying to figure out how I can hook it up but seems like I have to do it through external mixer etc.

Same situation here. There appears to be a gap in the market. Surely I don't have to buy a new mic.

Get a head[phone that has both built in headphones and Microphone. Sorry 'bout your dilemma.

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

Mic does not have noise cancellation. Microphone pickup is good. I have never had a problem with it. Background noise pickup seems to be pretty poor so even without noise cancellation the background noise does not drown you our or become annoying.

It depends on if you need microphone for hand free calling. AE2i has microphone but cost more over AE2.

Check out their website. I think the addition of a speaker Mic is addressed there. Sorry, but i don't remember the details.

It's not any better or worse than a normal iphone or Samsung factory head set microphone. I have 2 hollow air sets:) it's worth the price:)

It is a D5 I don't know if the P5 is a cheaper model but normally the D5 is more expensive and when I saw the price I bought the mics.

I echo the comments of the others...except I find the Phiatons to be pretty much just as comfortable. BUT...and this is a big BUT, only the Phiatons apparently have noise cancellation for the mic ALSO. With the BOSE, the party I'm calling on the phone still can't hear me in my noisy car. This was a deal breaker and I returned the BOSE. When I called BOSE to inquire about why the mic didn't have noise canceling when the earbuds clearly had awesome noise cancellation, they tried to convince me that it would me then that the BOSE wouldn't be considered "hands-free" from a legal standpoint. Obviously, the CSR couldn't explain why that made a difference. I echo the comments of the others...except I find the Phiatons to be pretty much just as comfortable.
