Blue parrot vs. Blue eagle vs. Jawbone

I was wondering which of these were over all the best. Money not being a issue? I really want people to be able to hear me loud and clear. And I want to be able to to hear them just as well as they can hear me reguardless if I have both windows down , the heat or air conditioner cranked or even outside with truck engines going. My main problem I have with the head sets I have had lately in the truck is that I can't hear anything....

I have heard awesome things about the blue eagle and blueparrot as far as noise cancellation and ear piece volume. But those head sets look so dorky IMO I don't want to look like a tele markerter.

Can anyone tell me how the jaw bone compairs to these head sets? As far as ear piece volume and clairity on the other end?

I use the blue parrot with excellent results...
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use it.
It will improve your battery life...

Been using the Blue Parrot B250 for the past two days...

Summary...it's the best Bluetooth I have ever used in the truck. It kicks the Jawbone's butt and even the Planetronics one that I replaced the Jawbone with.

The ear volume is LOUD and I actually have to turn it down even in this noisy truck.

The people I talk to can't even hear truck noises as I drive down the road.

Battery life seems to be excellent too!

I think I have a winner here!

I love my jawbone, its definatly better than the plantronics voyager 520, people hear me more clearly and its way louder, i have to actually turn the headset down. My only beef with it, is its a big uncomfortable, and the buttons are gunna take some getting use to because they are hidden. I like the way the jaw bone looks very sleek. I guess if you are like 60 years old it would look a little dumb on ya.

I hate the way the blue parrots, eagles, and all the other bird models look. I am sure they are awesome, but man I wouldnt be caught dead walking around outside the truck with one of those, and when I see truckers walking around outside there truck with them on, i just think wowwww, they must take no pride in the wya they look haha.

By far if you want something discrete or sharp looking, with amazing performance. jawbone is the way to go. I got it for 40 bucks and change at Best buy (Wifes friend works there and gets everything at cost with her instore discount).


If you dont mind looking like a tool.. get one of the blue birds.

If you want something small and sleek, and works amazing, Jawbone.

But if money was an issue, Id opt for one o the plantronics, they did the trick for sure. But i just wanted the best.

Jawbone here, it works. No cab noise and volume is plenty loud, usually have to turn it down. eBay, $60.

I have a cheap Wallyworld Motorola bluetooth which I plan to replace soon. My mentor uses a Cobra over the head which he likes, except for the battery life. He didn't like his Jawbone.. I would prefer an in the ear vs a telemarketer bt as well, as long as it works. If it takes getting a dorky one, I'll leave it in the truck and use the one I have outside.
