Best Bluetooth headset: Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2012

04 Oct 2012

People strutting down the street, apparently talking away to themselves, is a common sight these days. Bluetooth headsets are more popular than ever and also more flexible, as this year’s fantastic range of contenders have proved...

 

Winner Jabra Sport

These ultra-rugged Bluetooth earphones can survive even the harshest British downpour, and sit comfortably around your ears to keep them firmly in place when you’re pounding the pavement. You’ve even got a built-in FM radio if you tire of your usual tunes.

 

Runner Up Jaybird Freedom headphones

These funky earphones fit comfortably in your ears and give you full control over your music and calls, with an excellent mini mic giving crystal voice clarity and the ‘phones delivering a crisp, warm sound.

 

Also shortlisted

Plantronics BackBeat Go

Another comfortable offering from Plantronics that won’t slip from your ear, even if you’re jogging for the bus. You can take a call or change tracks with the built-in controls, and quality is excellent.

 

Jawbone Icon HD + The Nerd

Coming with two different types of earbud for maximum comfort, the Icon HD reduces external noise and gives ten days of standby time. Call quality is fantastic, and you can listen to your tunes when you’re not chatting.

 

BlueAnt T2 Endure

The T2 Endure boasts large easy-access buttons, and delivers clear call quality even when it gets a little blustery. Any callers are announced right in your ear so you know who’s calling, and you can pick up using voice commands.
