If you’re thinking about buying a bluetooth stereo headset, then one of the main considerations you will no doubt have in mind is “how much will it cost?”.
Bluetooth stereo headset prices range from cheap and cheerful to very expensive. And although they tend to cost more than standard headphones (for similar sound quality), there is a wide range of price levels to suit all budgets. Of course, in this world you tend to get what you pay for but having said that, there are some stand out models for the prices.
Bluetooth Headsets vs Standard Headphones
When you are buying a bluetooth stereo headset, you are not just paying for sound quality, you are also paying for a range of additional functionality. Because of this, if you had to compare side-by-side a pair of bluetooth-enabled headphones and a normal pair of headphones costing the same price, the normal headphones would generally give you superior audio quality. The reason? With a bluetooth headset, you are paying for the extras. The fact that the bluetooth model generally comes equipped with a microphone so that you can use it with a telephone or a computer (as well as just for listening to music or audio) bumps the price up. So keep this fact in mind.
Cheap and Expensive
Bluetooth headsets do however come at a range of price levels. Whatever your budget, you should be able to find something that suits you. Some of the cheapest available models include those from Samsung (SBH-100) and Nokia (BH-501). These can be found for as little as $20 in the U.S. or around £15 in the UK. At the other end of the spectrum, some of the most expensive models can cost hundreds of dollars. Nokia have a noise-cancelling headset, the BH-905, which is considered one of the best in the business and is up there along with similar models from Bose and Sony. These high-end bluetooth headsets provide the last word in luxury, comfort, and serious audio quality. And if you’re looking for the smallest bluetooth headset, try the models from Motorola.
Shop Around
Obviously, there is going to be a massive difference between budget headsets and top of the range models like these. But there are some good headsets to be found at every price point, so it is definitely worth shopping around for bargains. One of the most highly regarded for the price is the Samsung SBH-600, which can be found for between $80 and $100 from various Internet retailers. This headset generally receives very favourable reviews.
And remember, with bluetooth stereo headset prices dropping all the time, now is a great time to buy!
