These days, earbuds and headphones are in high demand. Some people like the idea of having a hands-free phone call experience, so they might be better off buying a headset that's less bulky. A headset is an easy way to stay on top of your work while you're away. The Plantronics Voyager Legend is one of the best headsets out there, but there are many other options.

Even though wireless earbuds are the new hot ticket item, there's still a lot of headsets in use. The Plantronics Voyager Legend is the best choice for most people, according to us. The Voyager isn't the most expensive headset out there, but we think it's the best value.

The design for the Voyager Legend is easy to understand. It hooks over your ear and can detect when you wear it. It's possible to accept a call in real-world use if you place the headset on your ear.

A triple-mic array that cancels out unwanted background noise is one of the highlights of the device. The premium carrying case is where it hides when you're not using the Voyager Legend.

If you want to spend as little as possible, you should check out the New Bee Earpiece. The value proposition offered by this headset is difficult to argue with, even though it may not offer the best experience.

The design of New Bee's headset is ordinary. The plastic over- ear design is what gets the job done. It's perfectly functional and comfortable, but pizazz is not a word that comes to mind when you think of it.

The new bee has ear bud tips to help you get the perfect fit. CVC 6.0 technology helps eliminate background noise for crystal clear calls, and you can expect 24 hours of talk time with charging taking between 2 and 3 hours.

The best option for people with more than one phone is the Jabra Talk 55. While the price is on the higher end, you get what you pay for with the Jabra headset.

The Talk 55 has a great design. The headset is lightweight and comfortable to wear, the sturdy connection and HD Voice make long phone calls a breeze, and the minimalist design makes it easy for people of all ear shapes and sizes to wear the headset. It isn't as large as other options on the list, but it shouldn't be in danger of falling out.

The ability to pair the Talk 55 headset with two different devices at the same time is one of the best features. This can be useful if you have a personal phone. In between calls, you can listen to gps directions, music, and podcasts.

You'll get a battery that lasts for up to 10 hours of talk time and a charging cradle where you can keep the headset when you don't need it.

If you deal with a lot of background noise, you want a headset that can block out as much noise as possible. The BlueParrott B 450-XT is an excellent pick-up.

The bulky design of this headset has a purpose. Are you looking at that huge earpiece and microphone? BlueParrot claims the B450-XT can cancel out 98% of background sound. It's really serious.

The B450-XT comes with amazing sound quality, a comfortable design, and the ability to connect up to two devices at once.

Considering everything you're getting, it's money well spent.

Some of you are budget conscious and don't want to spend a lot of money on a headset. If your budget is more flexible, the BlueParrot M300-XT is a great choice.

It is one of the lightest and slimmest headsets around, which is great for people who are always on the go. The built-in noise-canceling microphones can block out up to 80% of background noise. It's important to keep calls clear. The M300-XT can stay connected up to 300 feet away, but real-world scenarios will probably only give you a fraction of that. The BlueParrot app allows you to modify some of the features.

It's possible to do it with relative freedom. The headset's support for muting and push-to-talk makes it an excellent choice for protection from tougher situations. You are always in the loop since you can connect to two devices at the same time.

It's possible to do all this for up to 14 hours per charge and up to 400 hours of standby time, so you don't need to worry about being able to make it through a full day at work.

You can get up to 36 hours of playtime with this headset that is lightweight and comfortable to wear all day thanks to the headband made of soft leather with anti-slip padding. The mic can be used on either side.

Customers, clients, or whoever is on the other line won't hear your background noise thanks to the Artificial Intelligence noise canceling technology they offer. When you need to tell the kids to go to bed or talk to a co-worker in person, use the mute key. You can connect two devices at the same time if you use the same method for connecting.

Finished in black, the highly-rated over- ear headset is ideal for working anywhere, conferences, or using at the office.

Keeping in touch

There are a lot of great options in the market. We think you'll be happy with any of the picks on this list, but we think Plantronics is the best overall choice. A headset for gaming can be useful when you're not playing.

It is possible to offer a high-end headset experience without overspending. Poly's Smart Sensor Technology is one of the highlights. The battery life is not as good as it could be with fast charging speeds.
