12 best Bluetooth headset

“Product of the Year” according to “What Hi-Fi?” Version pleases both the eye and the ear. For Bowers & Wilkins, this model was the first where active noise cancellation is present - something that is just implemented, for example, in shooting headphones, in a headset that pretends to the highest class of sound, is definitely harder to do.

In addition to the noise reduction circuits, which allow the use of several algorithms to choose from, another element of hi-tech was built in here - proximity sensors in each cup. It is enough to lift any cup (the most natural gesture when you want to hear someone better) as the sound automatically pauses. A trifle, like, but it is really convenient.

As for the sound, neither we can find fault with detail or sensitivity. Headphones are especially good, of course, with a wired connection to a high-quality source and the disabled “denoiser” - one cannot say that the first pancake came out lumpy, but it still doesn’t meet the recognized quality masters of Bose. But with a Bluetooth connection, the sound loses a bit, and this is more a consequence of the specifics of the protocol itself than the lack of the digital part of the B & W audio path.

For what we removed part of the points in the rating? Visit the specific design of the headband. For the big-headed music lovers, these “ears” will not seem very comfortable, which is indecent for audio equipment of this level. If we consider how much more convenient Beyerdynamic is, and the price is absolutely the same ...

What has become synonymous with QuietComfort? That's right, the quality of active noise reduction is extremely close to ideal. In the updated model, Bose does not lower the set bar - even in the subway, which can hardly be called a suitable place to listen to your favorite music, extraneous sounds will be brought out beyond the boundaries of the “comfort sphere”.

This bluetooth headset will be the best choice for those who need music in any setting. Sophisticated ergonomics, effective “noise”, good autonomy - that is suitable for this purpose. The sound also corresponds to the prestige of the brand, although the lack of support for AptX still hints that the bundled audio cable is not just that. Rating points, however, we will subtract.

If, however, the QuietComfort 35 II is not treated as a “purely musical” headset, namely as a wireless headset, then a high-quality microphone and support for voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant) are worth noting. If the leaders of the rating are bluetooth headsets, which are uniquely intended for those who appreciate true sound quality, then it’s rather a matter of the target audience of gadget lovers and, what’s more, the usual hipsters. O'key, Google, what is the final score to put Bose?

The iconic (without exaggeration) firm from Milton Kings does not limit itself to just the top segment - this model of a Bluetooth headset is not so expensive. True, the author immediately mischievously recalled what is inside Marshall's low-end combo amplifiers - and the guitar technique for them has become a real “face” and, in theory, should always correspond to the volume of the name.

So you have to deal with these headphones, diligently struggling with prejudice. The “stuffing” is expectedly simple - for example, active noise cancellation, as in the new product of 2018, Marshall Mid A.N.C., is not here, and 40-mm speakers are simpler. Nevertheless, the headphones can boast excellent autonomy on a single charge, decent ergonomics and a proprietary sound perfectly suited for rock music. Are you going to listen to dubstep with Marshall headphones, really?

So, if you are not an advanced audiophile, the budget is limited by a reasonable framework, and Queensrÿche or Doro Pesch have long been settled in the playlist, then it is definitely worth asking the headphones.

We would put the most advanced model of SVEN wireless headsets on a budget position in this category. Although her younger “sisters” can boast of working on a more modern protocol, as well as the possibility of an alternative wired connection, in terms of practicality and comfort from long wearing, they are significantly inferior to AP-B770MV. But the convenience of the controls of our nominee a few pumped up - the narrow solid strips of keys on both cups do not exclude getting "not there". At least at first. Headset microphone is one, and it is highly sensitive and wide-directional.Therefore, it is not worth counting on the legible transmission of your speech on a noisy street. On the other hand, full-size headphones are more likely a home or office option, and in such conditions SVEN AP-B770MV performs its functions on a solid four.

Pick up a decent offer from Plantronics for a budget position in the ranking of the best Bluetooth-headsets (for example, model M75), but in this category our sympathies are on the side of Jabra Talk. Of course, expect miracles from a wireless headset worth a half thousand rubles is not necessary. Nevertheless, the quality of voice transmission is very decent here, and if your smartphone “can” work with VoLTE, then it will be even better, as long as the gadget supports HD Voice technology.

The weak side of the model can be considered its ergonomics, and specifically - the controls. Behind a stylish silver lining with the logo of the manufacturer is a multifunctional button. It is convenient in the "working" position of the headset, but to avoid accidental clicks, it is better to hide the device in a pocket or purse when it is turned off. In this case, the corresponding switch is located in a very inconvenient place, access to which is difficult - above the speaker's sound guide. On the other hand, having gotten along, you can answer calls by pressing the button with your shoulder.

Good-quality and lightweight Bluetooth headset amused by the support of the AAC codec - you have to agree, it is unlikely that listening to music will be in the priority of the owner of the mono headset-insert.The manufacturer decided to do without the control of a single multi-key (this is a plus for convenience), and without touch control (this is a plus for affordability): the owner has three buttons that are quite well placed. For example, the answer button can not be pressed accidentally - it works down, and not towards the head, so you have to use two fingers with a pinch.

The headset’s sound is legible and with a good volume margin, so you can speak with it in noisy places. Of course, there are not enough ear cushions of various sizes in the kit, a couple of functions like a quick call to the last number ... But, in the end, this is a budget model, and it justifies its money.

This headset is designed for those who like to talk while driving. It is conveniently attached to the ear, without distracting the user. The built-in battery with its full charge lasts for 7 hours - a pretty good result for such a tiny device. To achieve its creators managed by using technology Bluetooth 3.0. There is no NFC support here, so connection to the smartphone takes some time. The headset has at its disposal three microphones at once. Two of them are used to transmit speech, while the third is trying to save it from external noise. The case of the device is pleasant to the touch, which is important. He also has a moisture protection, so you can not remove the earpiece when leaving the car in rainy weather. The call is answered by touching the touch pad. When you remove the headset, the sensor turns off and the connection from smartphones is automatically interrupted. The use of all these technologies has affected the price tag - not to name a cheap headset.

This bluetooth headset comes to the rescue during your morning run. The creators supplied earplugs with a hard headband, so that the headset does not fly off when performing any exercises. However, this imposes one limitation.The headband has a fixed size, which is why this model does not fit on each head. In this regard, ordering a Plantronics BackBeat FIT headset in an online store should be done with care, preferably providing all necessary parameters in advance to an online consultant. Otherwise, it is a wonderful specimen, outstanding sound of excellent quality. After playing sports, the headset can be put in the case supplied. The device is not afraid of any falls (due to the minimum weight and rubberized body), nor rain.

Good build quality and sound, extremely intuitive tactile control are unambiguous assets of the Monster iSport Achieve Wireless bluetooth headset. The only thing we will inevitably find fault with is the eternal problem of wireless headphones with remotes hanging down, where the battery is hidden: this “suspension” starts to dangle on the run, unwittingly pulling the headset out of the ears. After all, it seems to be a plastic clip - this is a cheap detail, but the owner has nothing to fix the console on, you have to use fantasy.

This miscalculation is not so much sad, but funny, otherwise the headset is more than good for your money. Well, okay, we are not used to “modifying a file” ...
