With the introduction of Apple's AirPods wireless headphones to the Apple market, the stereo headphone industry has taken a second wind. Mobile device manufacturers rushed to develop a new segment, introducing “rivals of apple devices” from month to month. The only part of the market of wireless devices, which other manufacturers are trying to avoid, is represented by Bluetooth headsets in the mono-earphone case with a microphone. The reason for the lack of top companies in this segment lies in the specifics of the device, and in the presence of high competition. In the market of Bluetooth-headset for a long time reigns dual power, represented by such companies as Jabra and Plantronics.
As a rule, headsets are used by motorists or business people who, in the course of their activities, do not have the opportunity to pick up a mobile phone. The presence of a headset allows you to free your hands and not worry about the missed calls. Yes, and calling a subscriber from the phone book using voice dialing only facilitates the process of using the device.
Despite the limited choice of devices on the market, it is still difficult for an ordinary buyer to make a choice based on appearance and price. We propose to study the rating of Bluetooth headsets, which contains only the best models. The use of these devices will give you a lot of pleasure and will save you from unnecessary problems, both at the wheel and in the office.
The best low-cost Bluetooth headsets: budget up to 2000 rubles
The budget class of Bluetooth headsets is primarily represented by devices whose price does not exceed two thousand rubles. For this amount, the user receives a mono-earphone with an average battery life and a set of standard functions. Given the cheapening of technology, in the budget models there was a function of active noise cancellation, which was previously present only in the middle and premium class.
5 Noco S530
A country: China
Average price: 253 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.0
Review of the best low-cost Bluetooth headsets for your phone opens the most budget model. Although such devices are cheaper than this Chinese device today, Noco is more than competitive in a number of other parameters. First of all, of course, an unusual, but convenient and catchy shape in the form of a drop and an excellent choice of colors are striking. In addition to the classic black and white colors, the wireless headset offers a whole palette of fashionable shades: pink, blue and the color of coffee with milk. However, not only extraordinary appearance attracts attention.
The reviews often emphasize the convenient shape of the headset, thanks to which it sits firmly in the ear, does not fall out, but does not cause discomfort. Also, users note a bright indicator that changes color depending on the state of the battery, and a good range for such a cheap gadget that reaches and sometimes even slightly exceeds 10 meters.
4 QCY Q26
A country: China
Average price: 751 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.3
Outwardly very simple, but at the same time quite high-quality and practical, this bluetooth headset will definitely appeal to those who appreciate good sound with a decent margin of volume and do not want to overpay. Perfectly coping with its main objectives, the device is among the most budgetary representatives of this miniature type of equipment, so that it can be praised for an adequate price-quality ratio. With a small weight and a pleasant price QCY pleases with a wide range of frequencies - from 20 to 20,000 Hz, which explains the rich sound. At the same time, the wireless headset received good protection from water, so it is not afraid of rain.
Although the model is quite new, it has already managed to win a lot of positive reviews. Many note the best for the state of the budget assembly, versatility, volume, miniature and ease of management. Also, the headset shows good sound insulation, stability and autonomy up to 3 hours.
3 Samsung EO-MG920
A country: South Korea (produced in China, Vietnam)
Average price: 934 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.0
In the case when the budget is very limited, and the presence of a Bluetooth-headset is vital, you should pay attention to the model EO-MG920 from the South Korean manufacturer. The classic case weighing 9.2 grams is made of durable plastic, covered with a ribbed texture. Like the entire budget class, the “Samsung” model is equipped with Bluetooth version 3.0 and voice dialing. In addition, despite the low price, the headset has the ability to connect two devices at the same time and an active noise suppressor system.
Of the minuses can be noted the lack of A2DP, which does not allow to hear the sound of a call in the earpiece. In addition, for many, large headset sizes and quiet sound in comparison with analogs will also become “repulsive” factors when choosing a mono-earphone for conversations. But in general, even taking into account a number of shortcomings, the model found its buyer due to the low price.
2 Plantronics Explorer 50
A country: USA (produced in China)
Average price: 1 776 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
During its existence, Plantronics Bluetooth headsets have won the sympathy of customers with many advantages, including pleasant sound, durability, convenience and, of course, accessibility. And the most popular representative of the brand was no exception, for which he was in our ranking of the best. For your money bluetooth headset for the phone is quite functional. Supporting parallel connection of up to two devices, it allows you to receive and end calls, as well as call the last number.
In this case, the gadget received a good battery, designed for 11 hours of work in the talk mode and several days with an average intensity of use.

The latter isolates sound so well that it is comfortable to speak it even in the subway.
1 Jabra talk
A country: Denmark (produced in China)
Average price: 1 699 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
Jabra company in the market of mono headsets is a leader, and the range of the company is presented in various classes. Model Talk is made in a classic case of cheap plastic. The weight of the headset at 8 grams allows you to wear it all day. The profile of the wireless interface uses Bluetooth 3.0, which supports A2DP and Headset.The range of the earphone is 10 meters, and the built-in battery lasts for 6 hours of conversation, which is not so much compared to the competition in this price range.
Jabra Talk is equipped with the "Multipoint" function, which allows you to simultaneously connect any two devices with Bluetooth. Additional features include voice dialing and automatic volume adjustment, depending on the level of ambient noise. However, the maximum volume is not enough, which for many users is the main drawback of this model. But this did not prevent the Talk headset from becoming one of the most popular on the Russian market.
Best middle-class Bluetooth headsets: up to 4,000 rubles
Models of the average price range differ from the previous ones, primarily used by the Bluetooth version. In particular, the “fourth version” of the wireless module is involved in expensive models, which more carefully refers to the battery charge. As for the other functional, these headsets are practically no different from cheaper analogues. However, due to the expanded configuration, the price of models is much higher. In particular, spare mounts and liners, as well as a car charger, are included in the mid-level Bluetooth headset.
3 Plantronics EXPLORER 500
A country: USA (produced in China)
Average price: 3 790 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.3
This model will appeal to users with a musical ear, since two microphones and a good noise reduction system are located in a small package. The rest of the EXPLORER 500 is a standard Bluetooth headset in a nice design and with a rather large set of functions. In addition to the above noise in the headset involved the latest version of Bluetooth 4.1 and voice dialing with "multipoint."
The rechargeable battery lasts for 7 hours of conversation, and high-quality sound and a comfortable handle make the process of communication more comfortable. The model equipment corresponds to the headset level, as a result of which motorists will not have problems finding a charge.
2 Plantronics Explorer 80/85
A country: USA (produced in China)
Average price: 2 580 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
The operating time of most bluetooth headsets does not exceed several hours, so the Plantronics gadget, designed for 384 hours in standby mode or 11 hours with active use, stands out against the general background. Despite the existence of similar models of the same manufacturer, the Explorer 80 headset is a real gem of the review. With a low weight of 8 grams, the wireless device, in addition to a good 150 mAh battery, also received Multipoint technology, which allows you to connect several devices to it at once, as well as several useful additional functions. Among the most useful properties are answering a call, ending a telephone conversation, controlling music playback.
The latter function is especially praised by music lovers, who also note the excellent sound insulation. At the same time, the Bluetooth headset implements voice notifications and the hibernation mode DeepSleep, which saves a charge.
1 Jabra boost
A country: Denmark (produced in China)
Average price: 2 500 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
The “busted” model is rightfully considered one of the best in the middle class. Premium materials are used in the production of the case, and the battery life is 9 hours, and these figures are not overestimated by the manufacturer and are quite real. However, the glossy surface of the headset will not appeal to all users because of the tendency to collect prints.
Functionality Jabra Boost includes Bluetooth 4.0 and active shumodav, "multipoint" and voice dialing. A choice of two color options are available - white with a golden edging and black. The quality of sound and communication thanks to the DSP-processor does not cause complaints, based on what, we can conclude that this model more than anyone else belongs to the category of "must be taken."
Top Top-Level Bluetooth Headsets
The mono-earphone of the highest class is made in the case of high-quality materials, as a rule, it is equipped with the most modern functions and a rich complete set, which may include car chargers, extra arms and silicone lining. It is in this segment of the Bluetooth headset market that all eminent manufacturers tag, but neither Jabra nor Plantronics are going to give up their positions. Be that as it may, our top-level headset rating could not do without these two manufacturers.
3 Jabra eclipse
A country: Denmark (produced in China)
Average price: 7 490 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
The development of a well-known Danish company is as simple and convenient to use as possible; it is easier and more compact than many analogs, and at the same time pleases with a quite powerful sound, for which it fell into our rating. The wireless headset is equipped not only with a Bluetooth module, but also with an NFC chip. This greatly simplifies the connection of the gadget to a smartphone or tablet, because to connect, simply bring the device to each other. But not only this makes the Jabra Eclipse headset better in functionality.
In addition to automatic connection and excellent range, she received a number of useful properties: voice dialing, call waiting or holding to manage subscribers on the line, last number redial, voice prompts and much more. The reviews also mention the stylish design and lightness of the headset, a good speaker and outstanding sound insulation. She was prevented from taking a higher place in the rating only by landing in the ear, which not everyone likes.
2 Plantronics Voyager 3240
A country: USA (produced in China)
Average price: 4 790 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
A top-rated wireless headset rating would be incomplete without the Plantronics gadget just released recently. Unlike most competitors, including the most expensive of them, this bluetooth device pleases with excellent sound, suitable for playing high-quality music. After all, one of the best review participants is designed for broadband audio transmission up to 6800 Hz and supports SoundGuard technology, equalizing sound. In this case, the interlocutor will hear you no worse than you, thanks to a three-channel microphone, which suppresses noises and echoes.

1 Plantronics Voyager Legend
A country: USA (produced in China)
Average price: 6 690 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
The "legendary" model of the headset is presented in a rather massive case, protected from moisture and dust, weighing 18 grams. Despite the “old” version of Bluetooth 3.0, the model has most of the available profiles, including AVRCP, which allows you to control a car information system using a headset.
Plantronics' Voyager Legend is seven hours long. One of the best models of the company provides high-quality sound thanks to DSP, three microphones and an active noise reduction system. However, this device also found a minus in the form of proprietary magnetic charging, the cord for which is very difficult to find. However, a number of users will not like the price, which was affected, including the touch pad on the case to control the headset.
The best new Bluetooth headsets in 2018
The latest developments, of course, can not fail to attract attention. They often get the most modern features, the most recent version of Bluetooth, they are pleased with the support of the necessary add-ons and often with an unusual design that is strikingly different from the headsets of previous generations.

Therefore, only the best bluetooth headsets with excellent features and positive reviews are included in the rating.

4 HARPER HBT-1705
A country: China
Average price: 590 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.1
Despite the very low price, the headset is not only not inferior to many competitors, but also surpasses them in some characteristics. The stylish appearance has become the business card of the novelty, achieved by the use of an extremely rare phenomenon for such devices - an unobtrusive cute pattern that any mod can appreciate. Also, a wireless headset is different for a good economy-class autonomous operation time. Although 5 hours of talk time are not among the record numbers, among state employees only a few models can boast such a charge margin.
The reviews also often praise the originality of the design, a comfortable fit inside the ear, ease of use, high-quality assembly, the ability to control the volume without getting the phone out of your pocket. In addition, the headset sounds great, has a good margin of volume and basic protection from echo and other extraneous noise.
3 Hoco e12
A country: China
Average price: 799 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.3
Inexpensive Chinese phone gadget has become the easiest and one of the most practical best representatives of the category. Compact and not too noticeable, it will definitely suit those who do not like to attract too much attention to the headset. Since Hoco has no additional attachment, the gadget does not pinch the ear and does not cause discomfort. In this case, the headset is pretty well kept in the ear, and most importantly - makes it easy to control the sound and calls. Particularly convenient is the distribution of the volume and on / off buttons along different edges: the main button on the front side and the volume of the sound are adjustable on the side.
Also, the Bluetooth-headset will please the owner with an accurate voice dialing, the ability to connect multiple mobile devices, known as the Multipoint function. In addition, the model received quite effective noise suppression for the state employee and support for the A2DP and AVRCP profiles, which significantly improve the sound quality.
2 QCY Mini1
A country: China
Average price: 1 990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.4
Although traditionally wireless headsets, especially representatives of the middle price segment, usually do not differ in the variety of forms and appearance, this time the Chinese manufacturer has moved far from all the usual standards. So, a new model of a laconic format became available to users, bundled with an unusual case resembling a miniature space capsule. However, the miniature and originality do not prevent the headset to surprise with a volume of 108 decibels and support for popular profiles. Also, the Bluetooth gadget, despite its compactness, received a volume control and a pause button.
In addition, the main advantages of a miniature headset for the phone, many users include a long time without recharging, convenient cover, which is especially useful for protecting the device while traveling. Becoming the leader of the QCY review was prevented only by not the easiest control.
1 Sony MBH22
A country: Japan (produced in China)
Average price: 1 600 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
Until recently, a well-known Japanese brand, like many large holdings, was practically not engaged in the development of headsets and other accessories, but from this the new 2018 looks just better. The wireless earphone is notable for not only smooth lines of the case and high-quality coating, but also an excellent time of continuous conversation for your budget.At the same time, the headset is equipped with both a volume control and a multi-function button that allows you to control calls, play songs, including switching between songs, not only forward but also back, and also activate the Siri or Google voice assistant.
Despite the novelty, the model has already managed to win excellent reviews. Convenient fixation in the ear, pleasant and quite loud sound, low weight and stable connection with mobile devices are among the best qualities, which makes it an excellent combination of quality and price.
