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.
Mine isn't cutting it (also below) & I've tried the other two & had to return them. Anyone have any other suggestions please? It's got to be the one that fits around the ear. No way do I want 2 things over my ears all day long, feeling all hot & tight!

Hi Everyone
is there any good one ear piece headset that is good for Teams?
My company currently using the followings:
Legacy: Sennheiser D10 which come with a dock (should have phase out)
Poly Focus 2
Poly free 60
Both Poly have a lot of issues, and hence some user kept using the D10 which should have phase out
One problem I notice with the Poly is there is a total of 3 different options setting in Teams device setting in both speaker and mic
using with cable
the dongle BT700
Bluetooth directly to the laptop
and because of that frequently user either cannot hear others or others can't hear the user, due to the wrong setting. Then the dongle is so easy to break, once the dongle is not working, then the Bluetooth doesn't really connect well.
What I'm looking for is a headset similar to Sennheiser D10,
which ONLY have one option to select in Teams setting for both speaker and mic.
noise cancelation which the other side can't hear much of the background noise
able to hear ringing without wearing the headset (I know the secondary ring tone which can setup to use the laptop speaker but I want to avoid as much as possible.)
able to pickup calls automatically when wear the headset (currently Poly can do it, but it is very random, one day can do it and few days later it stop working)
Thank you
Take a look at the Jabra Evolve2 65
Those of you who use headsets with your smart phones and computing devices - what model are you using with decent outdoor sound-cancelling and good microphone quality with some ability to compensate for hearing with reduced sensitivity at the frequency of women’s voices?
I need to replace my long-time go-to model, Platronic/Poly/HP Voyager 5200 (I’ve had four) the new ones appear to be of reduced quality and, under HP, appears to on the way out. What do you recommend?
I’m looking for a new single in-ear with microphone model.
I’m hard on my gear; my last one leapt to its death in dishwater.
