![]() It’s still secure enough to stay put even if you’re doing a yoga downward-dog pose, though. If you have relatively small ears, however (like my teenage daughter, or me, a petite woman who uses the smallest ear gels when testing headsets), the M300-XT might feel looser and less secure than the Voyager 5200, which has a slightly tighter around-the-ear shape. This might be more comfortable for people who don’t like pressure on the inner ear area. ![]() The one-piece over-ear design balances the weight of the headset across the top and back of the ear, rather than anchoring most of the weight in the ear canal, as earbuds do. Weighing about as much as a AA battery, the headset is definitely noticeable sitting on your ear, but not distractingly so once you get used to it. The M300-XT is adjustable for comfort and fit: It comes with three ear gel sizes, the earpiece can be angled 180 degrees (and can be used on the right or left ear), and the earhook also flexes to accommodate different sized ears. We also thought the M300-XT’s vocal quality and noise cancellation were better than that of the more expensive Jabra Elite 75t, our pick for the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds. Competing headsets tend to lean heavily toward either noise cancellation or the natural vocals: The Poly Voyager 5200 achieves better noise cancellation but doesn’t capture voice as naturally, while the Jabra Talk 55 has the best vocal quality but poorer noise cancellation. ![]() BlueParrott states the headset cancels 80% of background noise, which we found to be accurate. Our panelists found that it has excellent background noise reduction yet still retains natural voice definition. The M300-XT is the best Bluetooth headset because it finds a happy medium in that spectrum. The voice system might be clearer with better pronunciation, but the human would sound more, well, human. When it comes to calls, “being heard clearly” can sometimes be at odds with sounding “natural.” Consider the difference between listening to an automated voice system versus a human speaking on the other end of the line. So we went for the least conspicuous models as possible. Appearance: Let’s face it: Bluetooth headsets look kind of silly. ![]() The ability to do some of this with the sound of your voice is a nice bonus but not a requirement.
