A salesperson’s right arm? It might be their Bluetooth headset. Get the wrong one and you could be looking at headaches and dropped calls. But get the right one and it will have just the right wireless range, the perfect amount of padding, and crystal-clear audio quality for successful calls every time — in the audio department, anyway.

Here’s a list of some of the best Bluetooth headsets on the market. Take a look and find the salesperson’s version of Cinderella’s glass slipper.

Best Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headset
