    I'm trying to find a headset that will allow stereo audio and allow you to talk at the same time. Is there such a thing? It seems there are a number of headsets that only allow mono sound with the microphone.

    actually most bluetooth stereo headset have mic.
    I can name several models that I have tried on:
    - Motorola S9-HD, S305, S7-HD, S605
    - Plantronic Altec Lansing Backbeat 903+
    - Sony DR-BT50 (if you're looking for full headphonne), DR-BT22, DR-BT101
    - Nokia BH-214, BH-503, BH-504, BH-505, BH-905
    - Jabra Halo, Jabra BT3030
    - Sony Ericsson MW600

    currently my favorites are S9-HD and Backbeat 903+
    great sound and look nicely and simple on the head

    Sorry that I wasn't clear. I am looking for a headset that will output stereo sound and still be able to talk on the mic at the same time. I have looked at several reviews mentioning that some of those headsets you mentioned will only output mono sound when you are using the mic.

    I think bluetooth is out of your list.
    the bluetooth profile for handsfree only output mono
    and cannot be used simultaneously with a2dp (stereo audio) cmiiw.
