Bose Mobile On-Ear Headset
Starting at: $170.00
CNET Editors' Take
If you're looking for the best value in Bose headphones and you need a set that's compatible with your music phone, the company's On-Ear headset makes a strong case--even if it's not cheap.
The Bose On-Ear Headset is nearly identical to the company's headphones of the same moniker. The only difference is that the headset model includes an inline mic and a button for switching between calls and music, which makes it a more suitable choice for those who use music phones.

Pros: Vocals really come alive, background melodies pop, and mid-range reacts with suprising punch. There are pricier headsets in the game, but few this balanced.
