LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During the year since California and Washington enacted hands free driving laws, Bluetooth headsets have seen significant advancements in call quality and features. If you still don't know what Bluetooth is - it's a universal, world-wide, wireless standard. If your phone is Bluetooth capable, you should be able to connect to virtually any Bluetooth headset. If you're thinking about purchasing a headset for the first time or upgrading your current headset, quality choices abound.

This is the only article that provides audio files of call quality in three situations (with no background noise, wind, and music). However, a headset isn't just about sound; there's a balancing act with usability, functionality, and style. You may be willing to make sacrifices, but want to know exactly what you're sacrificing. With the enclosed audio and visual files, you can now judge for yourself.

For your convenience, we've summarized Bluetooth headset features in a one-page matrix. This article is organized as follows:
