~$100-$200 Closed Bluetooth Headset Recommendation

[Shazb0t]

I'm in search of recommendations for a coworker who would like a closed Bluetooth capable headset which has good sound quality for music listening, but also an included microphone so it can perform double duty in Teams meetings. If there was something like an AKG K371-BT with a microphone that would've been an ideal solution. Is there something of similar price/quality but with an integrated mic? Thanks for your help.

AKG371

A word of caution the K371 has been known to have a wonky and failing hinge assembly. There are numerous reviews stating the issue.

It also doesn't have a microphone.

Yes, I saw that and I was just pointing out that if there is a K371 version with mic and bluetooth to be cautious. That is all.

Here are some options:


The AKG is best bought on eBay where it frequently sells new for around $100.

For microphone tests/recordings, take a look at rtings.com

Pretty good features for the price and it sounds okay for what my coworker was looking for. It does have EQ available in the phone app as well which is nice. Thanks for the suggestions.
