12 Best Bluetooth Headsets


UPDATE! On July 1, 2008, California and Washington join New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut in outlawing talking on the phone while driving -- unless you use a hands-free solution. The new laws mean Bluetooth headsets are transforming themselves from a geeky convenience to an everyday safety necessity. That's why we've updated this popular slideshow by adding the latest models that let you talk freely, look stylish, and avoid traffic tickets! Find the model that's right for you...

NEW! The Latest Aliph Jawbone

The original Jawbone was the Geek Gold Standard in Bluetooth headsets, with first class and unmistakable industrial design by Yves Behar. It wasn't small though, and some folks found it hard to position properly.

The new version solves its predecessor's issues, and even improves on its strengths. This Jawbone is 50% smaller than the one it replaces, and manages to keep the same design cues while looking even cooler than the original. It's also got a new earhook arrangement that's said to be more accommodating to different size ears. And while the original touted its "Noise Shield" military-grade noise-cancellation technology, the new version boasts "Noise Assassin" technology that's said to be even more effective. It remains spendy, though, clocking in at $130 on Jawbone.com. (It lists at a whopping $163 on Amazon.com; you can still find the original version for a more-reasonable $77 at Amazon.)
