Bluetooth headsets

If you spend a lot of time driving, a Bluetooth headset is simply irreplaceable for you.

If you dream of keeping your hands free all the time, spend a lot of time driving, or always carry a bunch of bags and packages with you, but at the same time, your phone is constantly ringing, you cannot do without headsets for mobile phones. If you spend a lot of time driving, a Bluetooth headset is simply irreplaceable for you, especially if you think about the health of yourself and those around you. It has been proven that a driver who talks on a cell phone while driving while holding the wheel with one hand is more likely to get into an accident than one who has a wireless headset. Bluetooth appeared only 10 years ago but is already extremely popular among consumers. Using this communication system, you can connect various technical devices into a common network: telephones, telephones and computers, telephones, and washing machines. You and I are primarily interested in phones. A modern Bluetooth headset is suitable for absolutely all models of mobile phones that support the Bluetooth system, regardless of the manufacturer.

When choosing a wireless headset, pay attention to the battery life. A standard earphone requires power, usually once a week. This figure may be slightly lower depending on the manufacturer. The operation of a wireless headset is significantly affected by climatic conditions. The charge is consumed more if it is frosty outside or, conversely, if the headset is very overheated. Pay attention to how the headset is charged: some do not necessarily need to be powered from an electrical outlet.

Most wireless headset models can adjust the volume and absorb noise. Still, the main thing for the buyer remains the appearance of the wireless device. A Bluetooth headset is an earphone connected to a microphone. The smaller the device, the better. The shape of wireless headsets can be the most unexpected. Designers of manufacturing companies never cease to amaze. Businessmen can buy a Bluetooth headset in the form of small black microphones. Women are looking for something original and find headsets in the form of large ring earrings with a small microphone or an original clip in a variety of colors.

What are wireless headsets for?

One way or another, Bluetooth is not only an accessory for a mobile phone but a technology that allows you to optimize your work. Bluetooth technology solves many problems: printing on wireless printers, high-speed information transfer via a wireless channel, the ability to communicate wirelessly via mobile phone, using wireless modems, and much more.

Bluetooth headsets have become a part of modern life. When the pace of life increases, saving time and resources comes to the fore. And a wireless headset literally allows you to “not make unnecessary movements”: you no longer have to take your phone out of your pocket or bag. A Bluetooth headset is simply indispensable for people who spend a lot of time driving (in general, we do not recommend communicating while driving a car, but communicating while driving while holding the handset is unacceptable!). For avid motorists, Bluetooth becomes an indispensable assistant and guarantor of safety.

When choosing a Bluetooth headset, pay attention to several important parameters: operating time without recharging, stable reception distance, and, of course, the shape and weight of the headphones. 

Using wireless headsets was a novelty a few years ago but is now commonplace. Sales of Bluetooth headsets are growing rapidly, which means that a new technology, having once appeared as something newfangled, remains in our lives as something simply useful and rational.

The Best Monaural Bluetooth Headsets for Conversations

Plantronics Voyager 5200

Our rating of the best Bluetooth headsets for the Plantronics Voyager 5200 phone opens. Plantronics (Poly) monaural headsets remain the unsurpassed standard in the hands-free category. If your work involves constant communication on the phone while your hands must be free, or you drive a car, it is difficult to find a more convenient gadget.

Unlike similar products from a well-known trading platform, Voyager 5200 can pronounce the names of callers, understand voice commands, and competently implement the noise reduction system. For example, the Plantronics headset automatically detects which direction the wind is blowing and configures its 4 microphones accordingly.

Jabra Talk 25

As the best budget option for a Bluetooth headset for your phone, we decided to consider an affordable model from the Jabra brand. The headset has advantages—it can pair with two devices and has a useful voice assistant.

However, it was not without its drawbacks. If you believe the reviews of owners of older versions of this family, the company’s noise reduction system algorithms are far from ideal, so there is no point in relying on its more expensive products. The Jabra Talk 25 has one microphone, omnidirectional, so there will always be strong background noise or wind when talking through this Bluetooth headset.

Best Compact TWS Bluetooth Headsets for Phone

AppleAirPods 2

AirPods are the world's leader in portable TWS headsets, at least in terms of sales volumes. Of course, all the advantages of AirPods are revealed only in the Apple ecosystem, but owners of smartphones running Android have the opportunity to enjoy high-quality sound and delight their interlocutors with the intelligibility of their own voice. However, they must take into account that some AirPods settings are performed only in their native environment.

HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i

Our review of the best Bluetooth headsets for phones continues with a worthy TWS headset, the rating of which was slightly spoiled by Google at the start of sales. The latter did not allow the sanctioned Chinese to update the proprietary setup application in its store, so the first buyers of FreeBuds 4i had to search for the latest Huawei AI Life installation file independently. Therefore, to update the software and reassign controls, you may need an Android device.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+

Samsung offers a good Bluetooth headset for your phone. If there were several serious complaints about the first version of Buds, then the second generation of this miniature Bluetooth headset turned out to be much more interesting. Firstly, due to separate HF and LF speakers, its sound has significantly improved. Moreover, in several aspects at once: bass volume, elaboration of details from the mid-frequency band and others. Not to such an extent that Buds+ can be safely recommended as a wireless headset for audiophiles (even without LDAC support), but very noticeable. Plus, the latency has decreased, making it more comfortable to watch streaming video. Secondly, the updated headset has acquired truly useful functionality. We mean its ability to broadcast background sounds and with an adjustable volume level. It’s clear that such a feature negates the meaning of active noise reduction, but it increases the versatility of the gadget.

Sony WF-1000XM3

According to most audio experts, the acoustic capabilities of this Bluetooth headset are among the best in its class. The clarification is important, since the Sony WF-1000XM3 does not pretend to be Hi-Res quality. However, if you need a good TWS headset for reasonable money and with a clear emphasis on musicality, we recommend taking a closer look at it.

Unfortunately, it cannot boast of being particularly miniature and streamlined in shape, and in an anatomical sense, it is not suitable for everyone. In addition, the center of gravity of the headphones is higher, so the WF-1000XM3 is not worth buying for sports.

Haylou GT5

An inexpensive Bluetooth headset that impresses with acceptable sound quality and some advanced features. For the former, owners agree that the GT5 reproduces music smoothly and with fairly clear instrument separation. Bass connoisseurs won't like it, but it's just right for pop. Movie buffs will also not have any complaints since the presence of a game mode allows you to minimize sound delays and, at the same time, ensures its light volume. As for the features, these include the ability to use only one earphone as a mono headset, a case with support for wireless charging technology, and also infrared sensors, thanks to which the gadget understands when to pause.

Freedom from wires greatly increases comfort when using any technical device, and wireless headsets are a prime example of this. Although you cannot find a more diverse class of essentially related devices. But, you must admit, fans of an active lifestyle require a Bluetooth headset that is lightweight, will not fly off the head, and sometimes is protected from the same moisture at the highest level. Motorists are critical to having their hands free and being able to continuously monitor their audio environment, even when conducting important business negotiations. For a number of reasons, music lovers may prefer a wired headset model, but none of them will provide a simultaneous connection to two signal sources at once.
