Bluetooth headsets: Good stocking stuffers?

While a mobile phone may not be at the top of your holiday shopping list, there's one accessory that may appeal to many of your always-connected cohorts: A wireless Bluetooth headset. Prices for headsets have continued to drop, and what was once a luxury item can now be purchased for as little as $30. Of course, smaller headsets, or those with advanced features, can easily top $100, so a Bluetooth rig, depending on cost, can function as either a stocking stuffer or a primary gift. Here's some advice on shopping for headsets. ConsumerReports.org subscribers can also review our Ratings of 34 models, including some stereo headsets suitable for music playback.
