Can anyone recommend a decent Bluetooth headset for phone calls for $50 or under
Bluetooth headphones/IEMS; DAP or phone
Most modern phones (android at least, apple only has AAC afaik), support a variety of Bluetooth codecs (SBC/AAC/AptX/AptX HD/LDAC) so the phone shouldn't really bottleneck the headphones themselves. If the headphones/iem support at least AptX, then you should get a fairly decent quality.
A DAP is nice for use with more expensive and harder to drive wired headphones, since it usually has a higher quality amp than most phones, but for use with Bluetooth headphones I find it kinda pointless (unless you'd like something that only plays music and won't distract you with calls/social media/notifications etc).

I'm saving up for a really nice pair of audiophile headphones right now so I don't want to spend more than $50 on the bluetooth headset. It needs be at least Bluetooth 5.0 with good connectivity and good audio and mic quality. Thanks!
