If you are up on the latest tech gadgets as well as mobile wireless headphones and headsets, you know that the prices are coming down on the hottest and cheapest Bluetooth wireless headsets. Perhaps you are in the market for cell phone headsets for yourself or maybe you are looking for hands free headsets for your newly licensed to drive teen; the odds are good that ads for the Jabra Bluetooth, Plantronics headsets, Logitech Bluetooth and other blue tooth headsets that might fit the bill – with varying price tags attached – are enticing.
To make your wireless connection a bit safer and the purchase of phone headsets a bit easier and a lot less costly, here are reviews of the cheapest brands and models of Bluetooth wireless headsets. Keep in mind that in some cases the actual Bluetooth devices are cheap, but the required Bluetooth adapter will add to the cost of the overall setup!
The BT2040 Jabra Bluetooth cell phone headset costs only $20. One of the cheapest Bluetooth wireless headsets bar none, it comes standard with an ear hook and one AAAA battery. It has a 33 ft wireless range and offers eight hours of battery talk time. The technology standard is Bluetooth v2.0.
Pros: battery powered (no need to charge) and lightweight (16 grams.) Cons: eight hours of talk time make for frequent battery changes.
Pros: Even though one of the cheapest Bluetooth wireless headsets, it is comfortable for long periods of time. Cons: As a Bluetooth class 2 it only provides a functioning and error free wireless connection for about 30 feet; the battery runs dry rather quickly at average to moderately heavy use.
For about $1 more, the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth HBH-PV702W costs $36 and adds that stylish touch to your communication technology. One of the cheapest Bluetooth wireless headsets, it is compatible with a plethora of Sony phones. Weighing in at 14 grams, it offers 8 hours of rechargeable talk time and has a range of about 33 feet.
Pros: Heavy talkers will appreciate the ability to recharge this unit rather than buying batteries; fashion mavens love the sleek, stylish appearance. Cons: Marketed as a benefit, the fact that the ear canal is not covered leads to confusing background noises that make conversations sometimes challenging.
No Bluetooth headset reviews would be complete without mentioning the Bluetooth connection offered by the 3330WW which is compatible with Centro and Treo technology. This Palm Bluetooth may not appear to be one of the cheapest Bluetooth wireless headsets on the market, but if you own a Treo Smartphone you know that accessories are sometimes hard to come by. Priced at about $70, it has more features than other headsets.
Pros: Can be used in a pinch on older model mobile phones that support Bluetooth v1.1 and newer ones that support the latest versions. At 9 grams it is the lightest gadget available. Cons: The unit only offers 5 hours of talk time and 70 hours of standby time before it needs to be recharged, making this somewhat impractical for someone using their Bluetooth connection for a full day’s work.
