There's been an influx of Bluetooth mobile phone kits on to the market to help you stay clear of a £60 fine and points on your licence. But we’ve never tested one that costs more than £200 – until now!

The EarSet 2 from high-end audio specialist Bang & Olufsen promises to be the Rolls-Royce of set-ups. And at £211, you pay for the privilege – so we put it to the test to see if it’s worth the money.

Charging is very straightforward: all you do is put the kit inside the special cylinder, then close it up. This keeps dust out and ensures your EarSet 2 remains in pristine condition. Come back in three hours, and the red light will have turned to green, so it’s fully powered up. Talk time is around four hours, while standby is 100 hours.

On top of the high-quality finish you would expect from the brand, the Bang & Olufsen kit offers some handy features. When you fold the microphone out, it automatically switches on; to turn it off, you simply close it again. The set-up also makes a beeping sound to alert you to an imminent incoming phone call.

Add in the crystal clear reception, and you have a tempting package for drivers who demand the best of everything.

Price: £211
Rating: 4/5

Problems? This Bluetooth kit is very expensive when compared to similar set-ups on the market.
So why buy? You get what you pay for, though. It’s one of the best systems we have ever tested. Not only is it super-stylish, it’s also got fantastic sound quality and is solidly put together.
