Best Wireless Earbuds and Bluetooth Headphones for Making Calls
Here are the best wireless headphones and earbuds that are great for making and taking voice calls.
There are a number of things to consider before you buy a pair of headphones or earbuds. Of course, you'll want to consider sound quality and comfort, but there are also some other things you need to figure out. How are you going to use them? Where are you going to listen to your music or podcasts? Will you need a good microphone to make calls? All of these considerations and more are necessary when shopping for your ears' next friends. It can be difficult to know which to go with, so we've put a number of them through the wringer in the streets of New York, where there's a lot of ambient noise (traffic, people talking and sometimes wind) to bring you the best Bluetooth headphones and earbuds for making phone calls on the market right now
Top headphones and earbuds for voice calling are able to reduce background noise so people can hear your voice as you're talking (and your voice should sound clear). And you should be able to hear callers well, which is why we tend to recommend noise-isolating earbuds for calls, although we do have a few open earbuds on the list for those who like that style of earbuds.
Features such as sidetone, which allows you to hear your own voice in headphones and earbuds as you talk (so you don't shout), and multipoint Bluetooth pairing, which allows you to pair your headphones or earbuds with two devices at the same time, are also noteworthy.
We also have a list of best headphones for working from home, but this one is a little different. That list includes more "work" or "business" headphones that you're more likely to use with both a phone and computer, and it features some enterprise headphones with boom microphones. Some of those are Microsoft Teams-certified and are also designed to work with Unified Communications applications. This list is less business focused and includes only consumer wireless Bluetooth headsets that work well for making calls on the go with your cellphone. And yes, most of these work just fine with video-conferencing applications like Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
