How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want marathon battery life and an over-ear fit for all-day focus, choose LEVN Headset; if you need a single-ear headset with a charging base and a USB dongle for a desk-bound work setup, choose Earbay Headset.
• LEVN Headset — biggest strength: Up to 60 hours of working time and an over-ear design with 270° rotatable mic and dual-device Bluetooth 5.3.
• LEVN Headset — biggest trade-off: No charging dock or USB dongle, and the over-ear cups isolate you from the room around you.
• Earbay Headset — biggest strength: Single-ear design plus a charging base and USB dongle, so it's always topped up and ready on a desk.
• Earbay Headset — biggest trade-off: 26 hours of talk time and Bluetooth 5.0, both noticeably behind the LEVN on paper.
• Who each pick is for: LEVN suits remote workers, call-center agents and anyone who lives in long meetings; Earbay suits home-office and front-desk users who want one ear free and a dock on the desk.
The LEVN CT003-V1 is built around endurance and clarity. The spec sheet lists up to 60 hours of working time from a 2-hour charge, which the brand frames as roughly 8 hours of talking a day for a full week. That's the headline number here, and it's the single biggest reason to pick this one. If your calendar is back-to-back calls and you'd rather not think about a charger until the weekend, this is the design that gets out of your way.
The microphone side is where LEVN leans hard. It uses AI environmental noise cancellation that the brand says suppresses up to 99% of distracting background noise — kids, keyboard clatter, nearby conversations. I treat "99%" as a vendor claim, not a lab result, but the intent is clear: this is a headset aimed at people whose voice quality is being judged on the other end of the line. The mic rotates a full 270° and can sit on either the left or right side, and there's a double-tap mute on the earcup for when you need to cough, sneeze or talk to someone in the room.
Connection-wise you get Bluetooth 5.3 with dual-device pairing — say, a laptop and a phone — and a stated range of 15 meters. You can take a call on the phone and switch back to the computer without re-pairing. The over-ear pads and adjustable headband are designed for long sessions, and the whole thing weighs about 0.26 kg, which is light enough to forget you're wearing it.
Who should skip it? Anyone who needs to stay half-aware of what's happening in the room. Over-ear cups shut you in. If you're covering a reception desk or supervising kids while you work, the sealed design works against you. And if you want a dock so the headset is always charged without you thinking about it, LEVN doesn't include one.
The Earbay BT783C-G-DG takes the opposite approach: one ear on, one ear open. The single-ear on-ear design is the whole point. You keep one side of your attention on the room — a colleague walking up, a family member asking a question, a delivery at the door — while still taking the call on the other side. That's a genuinely different use case from the LEVN, and it's the reason someone would pick this model on purpose.
The kit is the other differentiator. Earbay ships a USB dongle and a charging base alongside the Type-C cable. The dongle matters for older desktops and laptops whose Bluetooth is flaky or nonexistent; the base means you drop the headset on it at the end of the day and it's ready tomorrow. The brand also lists two connection methods and dual-device pairing with a button to switch between them.
On audio, Earbay uses 40mm dynamic drivers at 32 ohm impedance and 113 dB sensitivity — an easy-to-drive, fairly efficient setup that should sound full on a phone or laptop without an amp. Battery is 26 hours of talk time and 210 hours of standby from a 2-hour charge. The mic rotates 270° for left- or right-side use, and the mic mute is a one-tap button that works during calls. Materials are ABS, plastic and faux leather, in a rose gold finish, with a 12-month warranty.
The trade-offs are real. 26 hours is less than half of the LEVN's runtime, so a heavy talker will be charging midweek. Bluetooth 5.0 is an older generation than the LEVN's 5.3, which matters for pairing speed and connection stability more than anything else. And the single-ear design means you're hearing the room at all times — great for awareness, less great if you need to concentrate through a noisy open office.
• Best for battery life → LEVN Headset. Up to 60 hours versus 26 hours is not a small gap.
• Best for staying aware of your surroundings → Earbay Headset. Single-ear design keeps one ear open.
• Best for a desk setup with a dock → Earbay Headset. The charging base and USB dongle are included; LEVN has neither.
• Best for the newest Bluetooth → LEVN Headset. Bluetooth 5.3 versus 5.0 for faster pairing and a more stable link.
• Best for all-day immersive focus → LEVN Headset. Over-ear cushioned pads plus a lightweight build suit long, uninterrupted blocks.
• Best for older computers without reliable Bluetooth → Earbay Headset. The USB dongle sidesteps the problem entirely.
• Best for privacy on demand → both. Each has a quick mute — double-tap on the LEVN, one tap on the Earbay.
• Best for a heavier, fuller sound → Earbay Headset. 40mm drivers at 32 ohm are easier to drive than the LEVN's 200 ohm impedance.
For most people reading this, I'd buy the LEVN Headset. The 60-hour battery, Bluetooth 5.3 and over-ear comfort make it the better tool for anyone whose job is mostly calls — you charge it once and stop thinking about it, and the dual-device pairing handles the laptop-and-phone juggle cleanly. I'd only steer you to the Earbay Headset if you specifically want one ear free, or you want the dock-and-dongle convenience sitting on a desk. Both are competent; they just solve different problems.
LEVN, clearly. The LEVN is rated up to 60 hours of working time, while the Earbay lists 26 hours of talk time plus 210 hours of standby. If long shifts or long trips are your reality, the LEVN is the safer pick.
Yes. The Earbay package includes a charging dock, a USB dongle, a cable and a manual. The LEVN does not include a dock or dongle — it's Bluetooth-only, so you'll charge it with a cable and pair it wirelessly.
It depends on what you need to hear. The Earbay's single-ear design keeps you aware of the room, which suits reception, support desks and shared homes. The LEVN's over-ear design blocks more of the room out, which suits focused remote work and long call blocks.
Yes, but they work differently. The LEVN uses a double-touch mute on the earcup for calls and meetings. The Earbay has a one-tap mute button that only functions during an active call. Either way, check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
