Whether you are driving, running, both of your arms are broken in an accident, or you just don’t want to hold your phone, a Bluetooth headset is a great investment for you as it allows you to make hands-free calls.
But given the sheer number of models on the market, choosing a decent headset can be a daunting process. But fear not, because I have decided to save you time and have selected the most useful accessories.
Jabra Motion headsets have very good call quality, which is, in fact, the most important feature of any Bluetooth headset. The sound quality is not perfect, but thanks to the sensitive noise-canceling elements, you will be able to answer calls without any problems, even in noisy environments. It's also easy to sync, set up and use, and the headset comes with a rechargeable battery that can handle up to seven hours of calls. As you already understood, because of all these characteristics, it costs a lot of money, but before purchasing it, be sure to try using it, since, despite the possibility of adjustment, it is not suitable for everyone.
While the Plantronics Voyager Legend doesn't offer much, it's still one of the best Bluetooth headsets around. It is very comfortable, so you can wear it for a long time without any discomfort, it fits securely in your ear, so do not be afraid - it will not fall out. It also completely frees your hands - the number identifier will tell you the name of the person who is calling you, and to accept the call, it will be enough to say "answer". Its noise canceling function is effective even in noisy environments, and multiple microphones ensure excellent sound quality.

This is not the first headset from Plantronics, nor is it the last, but be that as it may, this particular model is a testament to how well Plantronics has advanced in the field of Bluetooth headsets. The Plantronics Voyager Edge headset is very compact, but despite its small size, it offers a lot of technology. It also supports voice commands (with support for multiple languages), and it is also smart enough to detect when you are wearing it (when a call comes in, it is automatically redirected to the headset). NFC technology ensures its fast and easy synchronization, and it perfectly suppresses all background noise. The small size indicates a small battery, which will not be able to support its operation as long as compared to some competitors, but six hours of talk time is also a good result.
Although the Plantronics Voyager Edge is small, the Jawbone Era is tiny compared to it, so if you really don't want others to see you are using a Bluetooth headset, this model will be your best choice. It is not only small, but also fits snugly in the ear and does not fall out. It can even be worn while jogging. The headset offers NoiseAssassin, which cleverly detects extraneous vibrations in the air, and allows you to completely drown out all noise that appears around it. This is an excellent model, but its only drawback, as in the case of the Voyager Edge, is not the best battery.
The Plantronics Marque 2 is not as superbly packaged as other headsets on the market, but it does offer slightly different options. It's small, comfortable to wear, and can last up to seven hours of calls. It can also be used to deliver voice prompts from GPS applications, it can be connected to two devices at the same time, and is equipped with noise cancellation technology, but it cannot compete with a similar system in other models. It's not that stylish, the sound is good but not great, but with such an affordable price tag, it's a very good buy.
The Plantronics M55 is a budget headset, but you get a lot for the money. While it doesn't offer a premium build, it is very comfortable to wear, supports voice commands, and offers good sound quality, especially when built-in noise canceling technologies are included. The M55 also offers Deepsleep mode, which activates when the headset is at a great distance from the paired smartphone for more than 90 minutes (in this mode, the battery can provide up to five months of battery life), and to turn it off, you just need to place your phone within reach headsets.
With eight hours of talk time, the Jabra Wave headset is a great choice for those looking to be away from home for extended periods of time. charger... Its large enough size means it's not the most compact headset, but it will be appreciated by those looking for a long battery life. It also offers good sound quality and excellent noise rejection, especially wind noise. Add to that easy pairing and the ability to connect to two devices at once, and your Jabra Wave headset will probably win your heart.
With excellent call quality and the ability to pair with your smartphone and PC at the same time, the Jabra Supreme UC is an efficient and versatile headset. You can switch between sources by holding the hang up button for two seconds, which allows you to switch almost seamlessly between a variety of functions such as calls, Skype and Google Hangouts. The artificial leather insert brings its own comfort to use, and the excellent call quality and effective noise cancellation together with voice control speak only in favor of this model.
After several weeks of listening, scrutinizing the specs and reading user reviews, I can say the Jabra Move Wireless Bluetooth Headphones will be a great buy for most users. All kidding aside, these are the best wireless earbuds for your phone or tablet. If for some reason these headphones are not available for purchase, then the JBL E40BT will be an excellent replacement for them. The cost of both models is about 5-6 thousand rubles. Unfortunately, models for less money do not stand up to criticism and there is simply no sense in switching to them from wired "ears".
If you are still very limited on a budget and are not sure if you need wireless headphones at all, you can have a small video where we select headphones that cost up to 3000 rubles. In all cases, these are compromises, primarily in terms of sound. But you will still stay within the given budget.
Why should you believe me
As I wrote in the description of the site, for the last 10 years I have been writing about technology. At the same time, I am quite often on the road and I cannot do without good headphones. I have tried (and broken) many models, from cheap to expensive. From in-ear drops to large and heavy monitor headphones. While I still consider regular headphones to be the best value for money (at least in terms of money / enjoyment), I have extensively tested Bluetooth headphones as well.
Why do you need bluetooth headphones?
The only reason you might want to buy wireless earbuds is because you are thoroughly fed up with the wires. You can finally stop getting tangled up in the cord going from the phone to the headphones and, best of all, move away from the sound source at a distance of 5-10 meters. For example, leave your phone in your jacket pocket and walk around with your headphones somewhere nearby. This, again, is the main and main plus. The cons are that:
In addition to the above points, there is one more thing - if you are looking for wireless headphones for your TV, then Bluetooth headphones will not work either. Why, in the first place, you again get the worst sound quality. In the near future, we plan to place a text on the choice of just such wireless models for TV, so come to us in 2-3 weeks, the text will be ready. Secondly, you will have to overpay for functionality that you do not need - we are talking about control buttons that simply will not be used. Thirdly, depending on the model of the headphones and the model of the transmitter in the TV, there may be slight delays in the transmission of sound. For music, this is not critical, but with video it can be very annoying. Of course, if you already have bluetooth headphones and a TV or a receiver that supports such a connection, use it to your health. But buying such headphones exclusively for TV is irrational.
What good Bluetooth headphones should be able to do?
First of all, they must produce good quality sound. Note that I am not writing "great" because it is unreasonably expensive. Just good. Secondly, they should sit comfortably on your head and not rub your ears. Third, they should be easy to manage. Since it is controlled by touch, this is very, very important. Fourth, they have to work on the wire, no matter how ridiculous this argument sounds. Many of the models of bluetooth headphones I know do not work if they sit down. Those. if the battery "died" you will have to sit and wait until the headphones are charged.
Why did we choose what we chose?
The Jabra Move came out on top for five reasons.
- They sound really good (though, if sound quality is your top priority, you might want to take a closer look at the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless, but more on that later). They have very well balanced highs, mids and lows, so that almost any genre of music sounds good in them. Superbass lovers will be a little disappointed, but everyone else should love the sound.
- They work well (unlike other headphones with their convoluted buttons and uncomfortable controls) and fit well on the head. The buttons are rubberized and easy to touch. In addition, they have one important advantage- it is easy to understand in them whether the headphones are turned off or not. Why am I deliberately dwelling on this? Since the earbuds run on battery power, it can be important to know if they are working or not to save battery life. The Jabra Move has a handy switch that is unmistakable. Most other headphones require pushing a button and / or looking at a diode. It is not comfortable.
- They work for a long time. Average working time is about 15 hours. This is very, very good. By the way, they report a low charge in a female voice directly to the ear.
- They can clearly hear the interlocutor in the headset mode. Plus, you can be heard well too. But there is nothing outstanding here, everything is at the level of competitors.
- While they sound slightly worse than my sonic favorite, the Sennheiser Momentum, they cost only 1 / 5th of the price. And this despite the fact that they are also decent - 5..6 thousand rubles. Those. yes, they sound flatter, but obviously not five times worse. Again, the price is very favorable against the background of the new Apple AirPods.
Disadvantages, where can we go without them
As you can imagine, they are not perfect. First of all, many users complain that one of the ear pads is unsticking in a month or two. Thank God it's easy to fix.
The second drawback is that the switching of tracks is carried out by voice. On the other hand, you can always ask the voice assistant (Siri or Google Now) to play a specific track. From the outside, of course, it looks silly.
The third drawback is not so significant - you cannot use the headphones as a telephone headset while using the wire connection. There is simply no microphone in the wire, and to turn it on in the headphones, they need energy.
What real users are saying
One of the reviews on Yandex.Market
Advantages:
- goodbye wires;
- minijack-minijack wire included, you need it if you sat down or you need a wire as an antenna for the radio;
- volume switch buttons.Flaws:
- there is no track switch button;
- the whole ear is not covered;
- I expected more bass from the sound.A comment:
Not ideal, but good. And the ideal just costs several times more.
If the Jabra Move is not available
If for some reason the Jabra Move is not available for purchase, I would recommend the JBL E40BT. They cost the same. Structurally, they are even better - their cups are bent inward, which allows them to be transported in a folded state. This, however, is where the benefits end.
Subjectively, they sound a little worse than the Jabra Move. They have slightly raised high frequencies (while they are slightly blurry, but this is a drawback of all mid-range bluetooth headphones), while they have a very mediocre bass. Those. if you like more fun, then this model is not for you either.
Control. Everything is also average here. Headphones turn on without problems. But the shutdown is not very successful - you have to hold the power button, after which the headphones will go into pairing mode. Press again - the headphones are turned off. The problem is that if you overexpose the button, the headphones forget the phone and have to be paired again. With a certain skill, there are no problems, but after the Jabra Move it will be a little pissed off.
And the last thing, you can also listen to them over the wire, but the connection is not a standard jack 3.5, for some reason 2.5. Those. if you have lost the supplied cable, you will have to look for an adapter. Why did it take to do so inconveniently - I don’t know.
Otherwise, these are very high quality wireless Bluetooth headphones with a good price / quality ratio.
Feedback on headphones on Yandex.Market:
Excellent headphones, I haven’t heard much better for this money. Of course, the sound without a wire is an order of magnitude worse. Lovers of kicked-up basses, of course, may not like them, but in my opinion, both classics and prog. metal sounds great and clear, every instrument can be disassembled. They put a little pressure on my ears, but I took it for a girl, and she doesn't have such a problem.
If money is not a problem
If price is not a deterrent, then Sennheiser Momentum Wireless are the no-compromise choice. Most experts agree that they are the best sounding ones. In addition, an additional bonus is the possibility of active noise cancellation, which only adds to the advantages of this model. The "noise reduction" itself is not ideal (there are more successful models), however, in combination with the sound quality, I do not know anything better than these headphones. Excellent first class.
Actually, why do they sound good. The fact is that these headphones are based on Sennheiser Momentum - one of the best wired headphones in the range of up to 20,000 rubles. Removing the wire increased the price by another 10 thousand.
In addition to high-quality sound, the headphones are very high-quality made and made of materials that are very pleasant to the touch - mainly metal and leather. Plus, they have a completely understandable and not confusing control system. In short, everything is as it should be, except for the price.
Disadvantages (nothing is perfect): Noise canceling is not disabled during operation. Those. Noise canceling works always when Bluetooth is on. In other words, no one will yell at you while you are listening to these headphones. Thank God, this function does not turn on when working over a wire.
What they write about headphones on Yandex.Marekte
I am writing briefly, but based on experience in the selection of similar headphones in the price range of $ 300-500 and in comparison with the following personally tested competitors: Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H8, Sony 1ABT, Denon GC20, Philips M2BT.
In sound, the Senhi are good both on and off the wire. The only worthy competitor for a wired connection is Philips M2BT - their sound in the lower register is endowed with a better attack, but the depth is not so great due to a different wearing method, otherwise this model has + parity with Senha, but the pleasure is the same here and there. Wireless connection with Philips M2BT is again almost parity, but the presence of ANC gives its advantages on Senham street.
Ease of use:
1. Landing:
Senhi is one of the most comfortable ears on the list, only SONY with their plush headband and ear pads can give them a head start. You will want to take off Beoplay H8 in 2-3 hours, but after correcting you will suffer for another hour, Philips will exhaust your ears in 2 hours and you will not want to put them on.
2. Range of APTX:
I'll make a reservation right away - my SONY Z3 lacks stars from the sky in terms of the strength of the Bluetooth transmitter, but Senhi work with it confidently, tested it in the most difficult conditions. SONY and Denon provided the same strong connection. But B&O H8 and Philips M2BT proved to be rare weaklings, with them it is not uncommon for gaps in music to appear even when you put your smart phone in your pocket.
3. Management:
My favorite buttons and joysticks, touch controls have bypassed these excellent headphones, and I am grateful to the manufacturer for that. Turning the volume at the temple in a circular motion, like in B&O H8, may not be safe in a public place :-). In addition, the sensor is very sensitive to accidental touches, so you can call someone.
In Senkha, one joystick is enough for everything you are used to + there is the possibility of rewinding within a track (a rarity).
There is also a function of informing by voice about the residual charge.
For a long time, only a wired headset was connected to a mobile phone. But in the mid-2000s, Bluetooth technology gained a lot. Mobile phones with her support have learned to transmit sound through the air. This could not but take advantage of the headset manufacturers. The first models were inserted into one ear, and their main task was to free the hands while driving. But with the further development of Bluetooth technology, the wireless headset acquired a second ear and support for a stereo effect. Of course, mono headsets still exist, as you will see by reading today's material.
Headset selection
On store shelves, you can find a huge number of headphones designed for mobile phone... Some of them got a microphone and the ability to connect wirelessly. This makes them a complete Bluetooth headset.
When choosing a specific model, you should focus on its purpose. If you want to free your hands in the car, then you will be quite satisfied with the "one-ear" copy. Its main advantage is longer battery life. Well, lovers of listening to music should pay attention to stereo headsets, of which recent times released a lot. It remains only to decide on the form factor, because there are large overhead and miniature plug-in devices.
You can read more about how to choose a wireless headset in our separate article. After that, you will definitely not have any questions.

The impetus for the appearance of a wireless headset in the markets of mobile accessories was given by Apple. It was they who showed the world the AirPods headphones. Gradually, many creators of mobile accessories began to develop their own analogue of AirPods. In their work, competing manufacturers have never interfered with the production of a model in a mono headphone case, which is equipped with a microphone. This can be attributed to the intense competition that dominates the market with the Jabra and Plantronics brands.
The use of Bluetooth headsets is quite popular nowadays. Most often they are used by business people and avid motorists. A convenient device that allows you to talk hands-free, dialing a number is carried out using voice dialing.
The selection of wireless devices is not that great. However, the consumer should be given a couple of tips for choosing a quality device at an affordable cost.
Top wireless headphones in the price category under 2000 rubles
The selection of budget wireless headset models includes headphones with satisfactory battery and sound performance. Due to the reduction in the cost of technology, now budget models imply the presence of a noise canceling mode. By the way, earlier this function was available to more expensive devices.

It is worth noting a number of disadvantages that are visible in this model. First, there is no A2DP here. This function does not allow you to hear the call in the earphone itself.

The VOYAGER LEGEND model from the familiar manufacturer PLANTRONICS represents a modern device of a high price category. The model is quite massive, due to which protection from dust and moisture is provided. The Bluetooth 3.0 device weighs as much as 18 grams. The heavy weight is perhaps the only drawback. Despite this, all the necessary functions work in it - noise cancellation, the ability to connect multiple devices, as well as AVRCP, which provides control of the information system in the car using a Bluetooth headset.
From one battery charge, the device can work no more than 7 hours. The DSP processor provides good sound quality, there are three microphones and an excellent noise reduction system.
A review of customer reviews suggests that most are not entirely happy with magnetic charging. Its cord is easily lost, which creates many additional problems. A large proportion of users believe the cost is not entirely justified. The headset's touch-sensitive body has largely determined the overpriced wireless device.
Freeing your hands from the phone and getting rid of the ever-twisting wires is the main goal of a bluetooth headset. Besides businessmen, the device is popular among sportsmen and motorists. We ranked the top 10 best Bluetooth headsets of 2017, according to customer reviews, technical specifications and expert opinion.
Pros:
- Comfortable;
- Excellent noise suppression;
- Stylish look.
Minuses:
- Quiet;
- Price.
The cost of such a device starts at 3,700 rubles. The weight is 8g and the comfort is so amazing that you can forget about the headset in your ear. Signal transmission is fast and of high quality, but the volume is a little lacking. Standby power is enough for 240 hours.
Unfortunately, the devices are assembled in China, so be sure to check for defects when purchasing. Among the features, we can note the Bluetooth 4.0 module, NFC support, a range of 30 m and, of course, a beautiful, slightly aggressive design.
Pros:
- Clear sound;
- Good volume;
- Great microphone.
Minuses:
- The case is slightly backlash.
Except for the creak from the case when you adjust the headset, the device has no other obvious drawbacks. The cost starts at 2550 rubles - not expensive, but not cheap either. Weight is 7.8g - less than most competitors. Bluetooth 4.1, charging lasts 264 hours of standby, convenient location of the button are the advantages of this device.
Thanks to a good noise cancellation system, the interlocutor no longer needs to ask again - everything is already audible. To the user, a clear and loud sound, relative to other models, is transmitted. There is a volume control button and functionality for audio control is implemented.
Pros:
- High quality microphone;
- Price from 1250 rubles;
- Great speaker.
Minuses:
- Sits poorly in the ear.
In the ranking of the best bluetooth headsets, Jabra Talk ranks eighth. Due to the low cost of the device, but at the same time, the good quality of both incoming and outgoing sound, the device has gained popularity among buyers.
However, the main problem lies behind the low cost - there is no comfort. In addition to the fact that the device strives to fall out, there are inconvenient and too sensitive buttons that are pressed when not needed. And the radius of 10 meters (as stated by the manufacturer, but in fact no more than 7) is too small.
Pros:
- Price from 1489 rubles;
- Good build quality
- Fast charging.
Minuses:
- Wheezing is heard at maximum volume.
Although they were assembled with high quality, the plastic is quickly overwritten. Within six months, the model will not be the first freshness. Bluetooth 3.0, a range of 10 meters, excellent noise cancellation and comfortable use puts this model in 7th place.
The volume is periodically not enough, besides, there is a rattling sound during a conversation, and this makes the headset far from ideal. Summing up, we can say that the model is budgetary and more likely for use in a car. For the street, the volume and quality of the speaker is not enough.
Pros:
- Holds charge for a long time;
- Convenient;
- Nice microphone.
Minuses:
- Weak speaker;
The model of the middle price category (from 2200 rubles) has Bluetooth 4.0, charging, which is enough for 4-7 days of periodic use, an excellent noise reduction system, but at the same time a small range (about 5 meters in fact).
The model as a whole is worth a look - good build and all the necessary functions, but the sound is quiet. If you lower the price of rubles by 500-700, or raise the quality of the speaker (it is possible together with the cost), then Jabra Boost would enter the TOP-3.
Advantages:
- Convenient;
- Qualitative.
Flaws:
- Price from 3000.
Bluetooth 4.1, A2DP, noise cancellation, an excellent 288-hour battery and a real range of 10 meters comes at a premium. Although the model is not the most expensive in the ranking of the best Bluetooth headsets, it is far from cheap. Another disadvantage is the tight button, which requires a lot of pressure on the ear.
The device looks stylish and expensive, has all the necessary functions, but not everyone can afford it. Most often, the Plantronics Explorer 500 is chosen because of the design, because with it a person looks really status.
Advantages:
- Adequate price from 1500;
- Battery.
Flaws:
- Inconvenient.
The model has the best battery life. The battery lasts for 400 hours, besides, the competitors have a little over 200. Here, the truth is Bluetooth 2.1 and a quickly tired ear (although everyone's ears are different, but many buyers complained) - two unpleasant moments.
The sound is clear, the signal is not lost, and the cost is normal. Suitable for those who spend 12-16 hours on the phone, but you need to hurry up with the purchase, because the model is old and will soon be removed from sale.
Advantages:
- Easy;
- Convenient.
Flaws:
- Price.
- Battery.
Starting with the minuses, the Motorola Hint + lacks a battery, after 4 hours of talk time you will have to look for USB, and the price of 7600 is just insane. At the same time, the weight of six grams and Bluetooth 3.0, super quality of incoming and outgoing sound, A2DP and a range of 45 meters smooth out all the shortcomings.
This model is suitable for those who value only the best, and the high cost is not important. The design will not tell anyone that the device is expensive, so it will not work to show your wealth.
Jabra Mini
Advantages:
- Loud and clear sound;
- Convenient;
- Good running time.
Flaws:
- Noise suppression.
The cost of the model starts from 2000 rubles, and all the necessary functions allow you to use such a device without any problems and with convenience. The sound is loud and continuous, but the noise cancellation is terrible. If it is loud around, you will have to take out the phone. In the car, the device shows itself perfectly.
Such a headset is optimal in terms of price and quality, but the presence of a disadvantage does not allow Jabra Mini to become a device for general consumption. It is more of a niche model for motorists, or workers in quiet offices.
Advantages:
- Sound;
- Ergonomics;
- Moisture protection;
- Noise suppression.
Flaws:
- Price.
The battery lasts 6-8 hours of talk time, Bluetooth 3.0, A2DP and simply amazing usability - what puts the device in first place in the ranking of the best bluetooth headsets. The ear will not hurt even after 14-16 hours of use. The signal is of high quality, even in very noisy places - there are three microphones inside at once. Well, the speaker gives out a clear and stable signal.
True, you have to pay for everything. So for PLANTRONICS VOYAGER LEGEND you will have to pay at least 5800 rubles.
