Default Bluetooth headset for 2 simultaneous devices?

Is it possible to get a Bluetooth headset that you can have paired and use simultaneously to 2 (or more) devices at once? I am sure they do, but for some reason I can't find a device which specifically says you can.

For example, if I have a phone and a tablet, and I wanted to be able to answer calls / watch videos with a single headset. Or have a work phone and a personal phone.

If they exist, anyone have any product recommendations? I would prefer something that was for both ears, but I understand that their might not be a lot of options.

I have three bluetooth headsets and the only one that does is this one.

It's a single ear (but will play music). I have the Sennheiser MMX450 and the Monoprice Pro audios and they will both only do one device at a time.

Honestly, unless you are answering a lot of phone calls, I'd just get a good headset and swap, they are pretty easy to synch.

The big issue I have is I miss calls when I am on transit and watching something on my tablet. I need a new set of headphones anyway, so I was hoping on killing 2 birds with one stone.

If it was only between your phone and tablet, I would suggest Tablet Talk . Can be connected through bluetooth or wifi. Incoming call notification let's you pick up as well as select what source (phone or connected bluetooth device) to use.
Also awesome for responding to text messages as well through your tab letting you leave your phone in your bag/pocket.
Other little features like auto starting/ending the app when you toggle bluetooth on either device.

As for phone and phone, you're definitely going to have to look hard for a bluetooth headpiece. I've seen the bluetooth visor speakers allow 2 simultaneous connections but not headphones personally.

That would be good, but my tablet is Windows RT, so I discounted an app solution early on in my search.

Whoops, my mistake there for assuming Android for no reason.

Manage calls from two different phones simultaneously or effortlessly take calls from your phone while listening to media on another device.
Pricey at $149.99 regular price, but who knows how much it will be on Wednesday: $120, $100, ...?

That is tempting. Will see what they come down to.
