The leading wireless headsets out there feature intuitive controls that enable the pairing up of multiple devices, letting you switch seamlessly between laptop and mobile, colleague and client, or even business and pleasure thanks to the music-ready audio quality available in today´s market. We have gathered below the Top 10 Best Bluetooth headsets of 2023.
Leading our list of outstanding Bluetooth headsets is the Jabra Evolve 65 UC, with its combination of cutting edge noise-cancelling technology and E-STD standard microphone sensitivity ensuring excellent conversational clarity regardless of any babble in the background. Your communication via the Evolve 65 can continue around the office thanks to the device´s Bluetooth v3.0 feature, which enables complete functionality up to 30m away from its paired companion. With its large leatherette ear cushions and fully adjustable headband eliminating any compromise on comfort, we struggle to find any weakness in this impressive headset.
Our runner-up is the wonderfully practical MB Pro 1 from Sennheiser. This one-ear device is the ideal hands-free solution for the busy professional gearing up for a full day of phone calls, with up to 15 hours´ talk time and an over-the-head design so ergonomic, you´ll forget you´re even wearing the thing. This effect is boosted further by the device´s room experience technology and noise dependent volume control - features which automatically adjust the direction and volume of the sound to tailor it to your environment, though any background noise is already reduced courtesy of the MB Pro 1´s single channel noise reduction system. On top of its exceptional comfort and sound, the headset also allows for the simultaneous connection of two Bluetooth devices. Try this one on for size!

Up to 15 hours´ talk time

This fashionable number is perhaps the classiest entry on our list, with its slick design immediately catching the eye. However, the Plantronics Voyager Legend is much more than just a pretty face. In fact, it has the intelligence to match, with its Smart Sensor technology reacting when the device is put on to allow you to answer calls without even the push of a button. On the other hand, if it´s already wrapped round your ear when a call arrives, it´ll tell you who´s on the other end, leaving you to answer or ignore by saying the relevant command. If this wasn´t impressive enough, when paired with the Plantronics Vocalyst™ service the device also allows you to listen and vocally respond to emails and text messages.

To top it all off, the adjustable headband and large leatherette ear pads ensure that this well-built design sits easy on the ears for hours.

What´s more, like its bulkier brother the MB Pro 1 UC facilitates the simultaneous connection of two Bluetooth devices, while resting nicely on your head thanks to its sturdy ergonomic design – typical of Sennheiser – and offering up to 15 hours of talk time.

Entering with conviction at number seven is the sophisticated Voyager Focus UC B825 courtesy of Plantronics, who have equipped the device with intuitive control of its key features. This incorporates high quality noise cancellation via three precision-tuned microphones, as well as the muting of music when a call is received and an external LED light to let your colleagues know when you´ve got your hands full. At the same time, if there isn´t really a call and they´re just getting on your nerves, you can flick on this do-not-disturb light yourself at the push of a button on the headset. This degree of control is typical when using the versatile Voyager Focus, which also allows you to turn off active noise cancellation via its OpenMic button, for when you need to be more aware of your surroundings.
The Jabra 45 is the perfect companion for a full working day in and out of the office. Powerful noise cancellation technology ensures that users can be heard clearly, regardless of background noise. The Talk 45 offers superior comfort with its slick, ergonomic design, making it far from a burden to wear for long periods of time. Jabra have not held back on equipping this device with the latest tech, with Siri and Google Now being available at a simple push of a button and easy synchronization with NFC for the Jabra headset. If all that was not enough, users will be able to operate the headset within a massive 30 meter range of its paired device.
With market-leading sound quality owing to the state-of-the-art noise reduction technology in its four microphones, and a robust ergonomic design that combats the elements as well as it does discomfort, the Plantronics Voyager 5200 is the ideal headset solution for the ever-engaged executive. This device takes the concept of hands-free to the next level, with Smart Sensor technology that detects the Voyager 5200 being put on, and activates a voice control system that syncs with your interactive smartphone apps, such as Siri or Cortana. This enables you to answer or ignore calls by simply saying the appropriate command, as well as alter the volume and mute the microphone. And all this impressive functionality is packed into a headset that weighs just 20 grams. Throw a portable charging base into the equation and you´ve got one hell of a headset!
Rounding off our Top 10 is a Bluetooth headset that’s perfect for office and home working, due to the mobility and flexibility it offers along with its 20 hours of talk time. Equally useful is the retractable microphone boom that allows the headset to adapt to each user and capture their voice perfectly. Designed with continuous use in mind, the Cleyver NW35 UC has a comfortable headband with synthetic leather ear cushions for enjoyable and relaxing use while remaining lightweight at 95g. However, the lightweight design does not sacrifice functionality as the headset retains many features of convenience to maximise efficiency and an effective audio system to ensure no detail is missed.
