Bluetooth headset stocking stuffers

Nicole Lee, Associate Editor December 4, 2008

It's the holidays once again, and perhaps you're thinking of getting a Bluetooth headset for someone in your life. Now that many states require you to use a hands-free device to chat on the phone in the car while driving, this isn't a bad idea. Here we've suggested just a few headsets that are ideal for gifts; a couple of them are more than $100, but we did include a budget option as well.

Of course we have to recommend our two Editors' Choice headsets, the Aliph Jawbone 2 and the BlueAnt V1. The Jawbone 2 combines style with superior sound quality, while the BlueAnt V1 is the only headset we know with voice command controls.

If you feel like splurging for an innovative design, the Plantronics Discovery 925 has a unique jewel-like style, plus it comes with its own portable charging case. If you just want a simple quality headset without a lot of frills, the Jabra BT530 delivers great noise-cancellation at a reasonable price.

Our final two choices come down to the eco-friendly and the budget-minded. The Iqua 603 Sun Bluetooth headset is the only solar-powered headset we've seen, and even though it's a very basic headset, you hardly ever have to charge it up as long as you leave it out under bright lights. Finally, the Jabra BT3010 is available for less than $30. Though it's not the greatest headset out there, it's cheap, it works, and it comes with 33 interchangeable cover designs, which make it a great option for teens or the young at heart.
