Headset App for IOSMobiola"App" for mobile deviceDepends on deviceWifi range of deviceMain user-recommended app if you want to use an iOs mobile deviceCosts US$1.99. When using the Headset app it is important to use the "music" setting and not the "voice" setting in the app. The voice setting uses a lower bandwidth / lower quality than the music setting
