" There are so many reasons not to wear a Bluetooth headset: It&amp;#039;s embarrassing to walk into my daughter Chloe&amp;#039;s room and have her teenage friend look up from the sofa and say, &amp;quot;Barry, you look like a jerk.&amp;quot; Then there&amp;#039;s the &amp;quot;Is that man insane?&amp;quot; expression you often get from people as you&amp;#039;re walking down the street apparently talking to no one. And there&amp;#039;s nothing so annoying as watching black-suited agents and jerseyed rappers at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, all with strange appendages stuck to their cheeks, talking to people they clearly think are more interesting than the people with whom they&amp;#039;re sharing squab in lettuce cups. But since you can&amp;#039;t hold a phone up to your ear while driving in New York State (where I live) and wired ear buds get tangled in the various car chargers I have for my iPod, two phones, satellite radio, and radar detector, Bluetooth headsets have become unfortunately necessary. Lately, I&amp;#039;ve been testing a new generation of them, and I have to admit, several are quite good. Here, three of the best. The Jawbone  ($120; jawbone.com), although the biggest of the three, is very comfortable and the best at dealing with wind noise. It has a tiny little nipple that sits on your cheek and somehow senses the vibration of your voice so that it only broadcasts when you speak, eliminating a lot of in-between static. Using the same technology, it also cuts out a lot of low-end rumble, which makes voices slightly tinny but definitely easier to hear. I liked this one a lot. The Samsung WEP410  ($110; samsung.com) is very small and has very good sound quality. It has a really smart charging station that doubles as a case to protect the thing when you carry it around in your pocket -- and when not in use, it should be in your pocket. The Jabra JX10  ($179; jabra.com) is also quite good, and has a futuristic charging stand that is both pretty to look at and slightly confusing to use. The JX10 is smaller than the Jawbone -- and therefore less embarrassing -- but not quite as brilliant in terms of voice quality, both in broadcasting and receiving. I spent a lot of time speaking to my assistant, Joi, on all of these devices, and she felt this was one on which my voice sounded particularly genius. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
