Sony WH-H800

The Sony WH-H800's 24-hour battery life will likely impress audiophiles on its own, but other specs, such as support for high-resolution audio, NFC capability, and a Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX feature make it appear like an even more promising Bluetooth headset.

The Sony WH-H900N Bluetooth headset boasts convenience-enhancing tricks like a quick attention feature and an ambient sound mode, all while having the basic specs covered -- with a 28-hour working time (with noise cancellation turned on) that comes at the price of a relatively-long 6-hour charging time.

The NFC-enabled Sony MDR-XB950B1 promises an enhanced bass experience (compared to the average Bluetooth headset), an option for wired use, and a better-than-most usage time of 18 hours -- although its 200-hour stand-by is unfortunately not as satisfactory as its other specs.

Sony MDR-XB80BS

Aside from being compatible with NFC devices, the Sony MDR-XB80BS markets itself as a user-friendly Bluetooth headset by banking on its IPX5 rating (even claiming that it is "washable") and bass-enhancing feature -- but its longevity specs (200 hours of stand-by and seven hours of usage) are obviously not the best.

Sony SBH70

Although this lightweight around-the-neck Bluetooth headset is IP57 rated (water-resistant) and made with smart memory metal (The unit remembers your fit), it mixes below-par specs like Bluetooth 3.0 with better ones, like the promise of 27 days of stand-by battery life.
