Best Bluetooth Headsets

Since Bluetooth headsets primarily fall into three major categories. There are the traditional, mono, single-ear headsets; these are the ones that most people think about when they hear the word Bluetooth.

Then there are stereo headsets, which use both of your ears; these are good if you're want to make calls, but they also double as earphones or headphones for listening to music in stereo. Finally, there are speakerphones, which don't connect to your ear, but instead project voices so you can hear without a device attached to your ear.

Here are our top 10 highest-rated headsets that span all three categories. The first thing you'll need to figure out is which type works best for your needs, and then go from there. But rest assured, each one will serve you well for its intended purpose: Freeing your hands while you're on the phone.
