Generally, Bluetooth headsets fall into one of three categories. There are the traditional, mono, single-ear headsets; stereo headsets, which use both of your ears for a surround-sound experience for calls and music; and speakerphones, which don't connect to your ear, but instead project voices so you can hear without an ear to your phone.
The top 10 highest-rated headsets below span all three categories, so you'll need to figure out which type works best for your needs. Rest assured, each one will serve you well for its intended purpose: freeing your hands while you're on the phone.
