Guide to Choosing Bluetooth Headsets

Trying to choose among various Bluetooth headsets? Follow these tips to make the best decision.

Above all, you need to choose a headset that is compatible with the device with which you intend to use it. For example, if your cell phone runs on Bluetooth 2.0, you'll want a headset with the same compatibility.

Fortunately, all Bluetooth head sets are backwards-compatible, meaning the newer versions will work with most older devices. You'll also want to consider whether you want a headset with a boom or not.

A boom is a microphone that extends from the Bluetooth headset, thus picking up the sound of your voice a bit better. On the downside, Bluetooth models with a boom tend to be bulkier and more expensive than other models.
