With its integrated proximity sensor, the comfortable, great-sounding Plantronics Voyager Pro HD lets you switch calls between handset and headset simply by placing it on your ear. Only if it weren't so big.

Like most Bluetooth headsets, the Voyager Pro HD supports A2DP, so you can listen to music (in mono), podcasts, audiobooks, voice prompts from your phone's GPS app, and other streaming audio.

We couldn't test battery life because the proximity sensor was too, well, sensitive; it kept returning to standby mode, despite repeated attempts. Typically, Voyager Pros are good for at least five and a half hours, if not more.
