Ok, in response to my previous post i would have to change my mind in regards to the VXI Blue Parrott XPressway II. I've found that it doesn't seem to be a very good bluetooth for Truck Drivers. It has a bit of static issue and doesn't seem to cancel out much noise. I purchased this unit yesterday and was really disappointed in it's performance. The price was $119 and pretty close to $130 when you include the tax. I took it back the same day and purchased the Blue Parrott B250-XT Plus which was the same price. The B250-XT Plus is an ungraded version of the B250-XT. They almost look identical except for the fact that the B250-XT Plus is black in color and the older version is blue. What i like about the upgraded version(the black one) is that it actually plays music from your cell phone through the headset. My old headset couldn't do this. It also has multiport pairing which allows me to be paired with my cell phone as well as my GPS unit at the same time. It has 20 hours of talk time on a full charge compared to 16 from the older version. It also has voice prompts that warn you when the bluetooth battery gets low as well as when you are out of range.
I purchased mine from a Truck Stop i was at but after looking online it seems that Best Buy has them for about $80 right now. Below is a link to a youtube audio video i found of a driver testing the B250-XT Plus headset out by driving with his windows down while using the headset. The other link just explains the product features from the manufacturers website.

I got mine on amazon.com. it is quite a bit cheaper than the truck stops. I have the Blue Parrot B-250XT (link below) and I swear by it. It holds a charge for a LONG time, has great noise canceling and is comfortable. I believe in the truck stops they are right around the $100 mark. At amazon they are $65. worth taking a look at
The headset I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...N=B001PBWNOY&linkCode=as2&tag=lifofamodtru-20Studebaker Hawk and CMate Thank this. -

Cobra Dane is on the money. Amazon is the best source, and the Blue Parrott B250-XT+ has given me great service. Lots of compliments from people on the other end of the line.

+1 on the Blue Parrott BT250XT+. Got one for Christmas, when they were around $70 from Amazon. I tried the "roll down the windows at 60" trick. The person on the other end said that there was a bit of background noise, but nothing objectionable. I have a friend who uses the non-plus model on his motorcycle...

Yes the blue parrot BT250xt+ is a sure winner. THey just came out with a 350 i believe......anyone have any experience with this??
