What's the Difference Between Bluetooth Headsets and Headphones?
Stereo headphones aren't just for listening to music; they also make calls, often quite well. So, if you're thinking about some wireless headphones to rock out to, you might not need a separate Bluetooth headset. Remember that stereo headphones can sometimes be bulky and might not block distracting environmental noises competently.
By contrast, the stereo headsets in this roundup are lighter and often have boom mics that easily isolate your voice. We compare the two options more decisively in our roundup of the best headsets and headphones for your home office.
How Much Should You Spend on a Bluetooth Headset?
The sweet spot for a mono Bluetooth headset is around $100, and if you shop around, you can often find discounts that lower the price slightly. A quality stereo headset generally runs between $150 and $300. The headsets in this roundup are on the high end of that price range because we focused on the absolute best-performing devices for people who rely on their headsets all day.
You can often find a decent (or even excellent) headset for under $50 because they tend to remain in retail channels for a long time after the manufacturer discontinues them. Cheaper Jabra, Motorola, and Poly headsets work fine; they just aren't up to the performance standards of the more expensive category leaders. Typically, they are a bit clunkier and don't offer as effective noise cancellation, but then again, you aren't paying a premium for them.

My father takes a lot of calls — during the day, in the lab, around machines, even while driving. So I’ve been planning on getting him something small, not in-ear, with good battery life and a strong mic that can handle loud environments (like next to engines, vacuum pumps, etc.).
I personally use AirPods for noise cancelation, but that’s not really his thing.
Don’t care about budget, just want something that’s good quality and built for this kind of use.
Figured some of you older folks might know something I don’t, despite all the research. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I forgot to mention , my dad wears glasses , so I feel like if it sits on the back of his ear, might not be comfortable. Maybe some of you might know the struggle .
For those who take calls all day at home, what do you use for a headset/mic that has the best quality sound for the customer?
Would the latest Airpod Pro 2's be among the best quality, if I don't mind the fit? Or is there an over the ear headset that's much better?
Thanks in advance!
As above, can someone recommend the best one available today purely for gaming? I wanted a Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless but am left confused due to the mostly negative posts about it here on Reddit but positive reviews about it on YT. I wanted a Logitech headset to match all my other peripherals that will be from them too but the price and Reddit posts are putting me off.
Ideally want a slightly cheaper (but good quality) one around £150. I know the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is pretty good as well as the Audeze Maxwell but those are much more expensive.
After some research, the three less pricey ones I get are the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) and V2 Hyperspeed as well as the HyperX Cloud Alpha. Anyone here use these?
Are Logitech's Astro series any good? Or any other Logi headset that's better than the G Pro X 2?
Thanks in advance for the advice/comments.
