The Best Bluetooth Head Sets

The appearance and design of Bluetooth headsets have drastically evolved over the years, but more importantly, so has the quality of their function. With new advances in noise-cancellation and even voice amplification, the latest Bluetooth models are so great that the knowledge you are even using a headset will evade the person at the other end. However, despite the improvement of technology across the board, there are still a few headsets that rise far above the others.

Plantronics Voyager Pro

With great sound quality and comfort, the Voyager Pro is the best Bluetooth headset to be produced by Plantronics. With an excellent ability to handle wind noise and unique design, it is very easy to use. All the buttons are located along the earpiece for simple access and the swiveling mike is equipped with windscreens for maximum protection against wind resistance. The Voyager Pro microphone is built to more efficiently capture your voice than other microphones, since it is in such close range to your mouth when pivoted fully.

Extremely stylish, with pristine noise-cancellation and comfort, the Jawbone Prime is the successor to Aliph's Jawbone 2. A unique surface design that inherently camouflages the buttons makes Jawbone Prime a very discreet headset. In order to access its functions, you have to feel for the buttons with your fingers by running them over the surface. There is a great noise cancellation function called the Noise Assassin and a Voice Activity sensor that amplifies your voice. The Voice Activity Sensor operates by means of a white nub that must touch your cheek and detect the vibrations of your voice. The rubber earbud and ear loop are designed to allow Jawbone Prime a snug fit. An optional ear hook is also included if necessary, along with three earbud sizes.

An updated version of BlueAnt's V1, the Q1 is easy to use. There is a great voice-user interface that allows you to control the Bluetooth's functions with a series of voice prompts. This is one of the Q1's best features as the interface works in an almost conversational manner. If you are lost or confused, all you have to do is literally say "Teach me" and the Q1 will offer tips and different commands that can be used. Aside from the voice interface, all buttons and volume controls are easily accessible with a voice isolation sensor that aptly helps cancel out background noise. The Q1 boasts a sleek gunmetal design and is very comfortable.
