Whether or not you work at a call center, you still use the phone. We decided to round up the best headsets for all your needs: gaming, cell phone, PC, and office phone. These headsets are top notch, helping you with work and play.
Cell phone bluetooth headsets
The Aliph Jawbone
gets rave reviews from users of all kinds. This device has a stylish appearance, and the noise shield technology provides superior voice quality.
Amazon price: $89.99
c|net score: 8.7
Plantronics has a wide selection
of bluetooth headsets, but one of my favorites is the Plantronics Discovery 665. It strikes a great balance between style, function, and price. The AudioIQ® technology enhances sound for both ends of the call. Plus, the 665 comes with cool chargers for your car and the USB port on your computer.
Amazon price: $68.99

For people who want it all, check out the Jabra BT8010. This headset has two killer features put together in a nice package. First, it supports Multi-Point technology. That means you can pair two devices with it (cell phone + something else!). Second, it has an attachable second ear piece, so you can listen to your music or calls in stereo!
Amazon price: $98.99

If you haven’t yet seen the Blueant z9
, you’re in for a treat! This slick headset comes from our friends in Australia. They’ve built two microphones into the headset to improve sound quality. And a killer feature that I love is the Multi-Point technology. Finally, it’s got their signature Voice Isolation Technology.
Amazon price: $64.13

Gaming headsets
Serious gamers need a serious headset. That’s where the Razer Barracuda comes in. It has 8 discrete drivers to provide a complete range of sound. The microphone is detachable, and it was built specifically for in-game communication. The Barracuda is powerful at 300mW.
Amazon price: $90.08

If you’re looking to save a few dollars, the Turtle Beach Ear Force headset might be just the ticket. These headphones provide a great surround sound experience. Each ear cup has separate speakers for front, center, rear, and subwoofer. Add the detachable mic and volume control, and you’re ready to play! There is also a newer version that’s a bit more expensive.
Amazon price: $59.99
c|net score: 7.3
Office headsets
An all-in-one headset solution is appealing. That’s why I have to include the Jabra GN-6210. It works with your regular bluetooth cell phone and your office phone. This device knows which phone you’re using and seamlessly switches between them. You can even purchase an additional base unit, so the headset can work with your home phone as well. One headset to rule them all!
Amazon price: $141.99

Since it stinks to be chained to your desk at work, we present the Plantronics CS70. This headset system allows you to answer calls on your phone up to 300 feet away. The available handset lifter will pick up the receiver when you want to answer, and it will replace the receiver when the call is finished. That’s definitely a great use of technology!
Amazon price: $242.01
