Plantronics Voyager Pro+

It's not the smallest, sexiest Bluetooth headset around, but Plantronics' Voyager Pro+ delivers where it matters: on audio quality and comfort. This headset offers excellent sound and stays securely in your ear all day. It also offers an on-screen battery meter for your iPhone, so you can check the headset's battery life at a quick glance.

Jawbone ICON

Aliph says the Jawbone ICON is the "smartest, most comfortable, and smallest Jawbone ever created." After spending some time testing out the ICON, I'm inclined to think that the company is right. The ICON's smarts come from the new software platform, called MyTalk, which lets you customize your headset. While the software platform is a definite bonus, it would be useless if the ICON headset didn't perform well. But the ICON performs better than just well: it offers very good audio quality and its noise cancellation feature is the best of any headset I've tested.
