Because of its overall ranking of 90%, we conclude that the Mpow 059 is currently Alphachooser's best stereo headset 2019. Alphachooser also concludes that our sample of 16544 reviews from our sources gives us a high confidence level (more on confidence levels) that prompts us to name it a "no-brainer best choice."

Because of 4.5 stars derived from 659 reviews, here is what we consider second best stereo headset. * This choice (and the following members of this best stereo headset models list), is based on a full aggregation of hundreds of stereo headset reviews from around the web.

This Class 1 Bluetooth headset, which sports an Apple W1 chip under the hood, justifies its hefty $300 dollar price tag through its loaded feature set which includes 40 hours of battery life, dual beam-forming microphones, noise isolation, and Fast Fuel, which gives three hours of use from a 5-minute charge.

Like the Phaiser BHS-730, this Bluetooth headset is protected from sweat through its Liquipel nano coating, but it has additional specs under its belt -- namely, ear tips that are made from Comply T-400 M memory foam (which apparently helps reduce background noise) and a "tougher" aviation-grade alloy made up of aluminum and magnesium on its body.

The ActivBuds S-300 uses CVC 6.0 technology to cancel noise and is protected from water by an IPX5 rating, but it has slightly-lower longevity specs (at seven hours of talk and playback) than most other Bluetooth headsets.

Speaker diameter: 40mm

This iPX5-rated (water and sweat-resistant) addition to Erato Audio's Bluetooth headset lineup offers the usual set of specs for a small earbud, like its 4-hour 3D surround sound playback time for two hours of charging, a 7-hour talk time, and a portable charging case (up to 700mAh).

Speaker diameter: 5.8mm

This sweatproof (IPX5) Bluetooth headset's ability to play music using various modes (super bass voice, pop music, and alt voice) seems like a breath of fresh air, considering how common (but still relatively appealing, nonetheless) its other specs -- namely 6th generation CVC noise reduction and aptX audio -- are.

Speaker diameter: 6mm

The P6 Bluetooth headset comes equipped with specs like a TF card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack for non-Bluetooth listening, which is not surprising considering how power-inefficient it appears to be -- lasting for only 30 hours on stand-by despite having a moderately-respectable 300mAh battery (which Sound Intone claims is explosion-proof).

Speaker diameter: 40 (Neodymium)mm

The BTH240 Bluetooth headset upgrades the 220's battery specs -- now sporting 10 hours of usage time and 200 hours of stand-by (as opposed to the latter's eight and 150 hours, respectively) -- but has the same rather-obsolete Bluetooth version (2.1).
