Using the iphone with Bose headphones

Question

I had trouble using the phone function on my iPhone with Bose over-the-ear sound cancelling headphones, connecting the two with a Bose connector with a mouthpiece (http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shoponline/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/accessories/qc2_commkitacc.jsp)
When the phone is on and sending a signal the headphones generate an irritating buzz which isn't audible to the person that you're talking to, but is to you. It seems to be caused by the electromagnetic field created by the phone, i.e. changing the position of the phone makes the buzzing disappear or get louder and the closer you bring the phone to the headset the louder the buzz.
Two things seem to make a difference, the orientation of the phone, move it around until the buzzing decreases, and the second is to fold a small loop (diameter 1 - 2") in the wire 5 or 6"s below the mouthpiece. This seems to cancel out the sound and with the right orientation of the phone eliminates the buzzing entirely. It seems to work best when the loop in the wire is directly in the path between the phone and the headphones. Fight interference with interference!
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Yes, same person. I talked with Bose technical support and they told me the phone won't answer in sleep mode.  I guess I got the wrong person if there isn't a sleep mode. So I push the answer button on the headset when the phone rings.  The phone gets answered but the call doesn't come to the headphone.  Got any idea's?  Thanks
