What kind of Bluetooth device? That's the technology not the application/device.

I have the Beats wireless Headphones and also the wireless earphones. The earphones are quite comfortable and the sound is great so I use them for both talking and music. The headphones get my ears hot...so they get annoying in extended use.

Always had great success with Motorola units. I use a H720 on my iPhone 5S and Galaxy S4 and it works great. Reliable with great audio. I use it to work from my home office on conference calls and no complaints.

I have a Jawbone that is nice for music and podcasts while walking the dog, but people have told me they can't hear me so well. YMMV

I didn't know that Bose made an Bluetooth headset. It seems pretty impressive in the videos here.

I have a nice Plantronics, but now that my car is Bluetooth-enabled, it just sits on my desk. I use it to talk on the phone when I'm at home, which is a relatively rare occurrence.

I have a very nice Bose® SoundLink® Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II that I use from time to time. It has very good sound and is convenient to take along on trips and such.

The only ones I've used regularly are the Jawbone ERA and the Plantronics Beatbeat 903s for stereo. Everything else gets tossed to the wayside after a little while. I've tried plenty.

Plantronics Voyager.
There is a reason why NASA has been using them for 50 years.

Oops. sorry can't help as I first thought the OP was asking to use them for music...instead of for conversations!!!
