IF YOU'RE GOING to hang something on your ear all day, know that—like it or not—you're accessorizing. Plantronics' Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset ($150, plantronics .com) eases the sting a bit and won't make you look like the Borg's latest acquisition. Tipping the scales at just eight grams, it's comfortable for long-term use and has a mini­malist design that doesn't scream "tech dork." Also, its charging case gives you an extra five hours of talk time on the go.
