    Jabra Wave is what i use it's really good. It's small, lightweight, sounds good and works well in noisy environments. Plus doesn't look like i'm wearing headphones.

    i have tried a lot of different ones, for me the blue parrot head sets work the best most comfortable all of us look like martians walking around the truckspot but we all look like it together

    I have the Blue Parrot, B250-XT and I love it. Works great, plenty loud enough, talk time and standby time is a long time between charging and it filters out a lot of static in noisy environments. It makes you look like a telemarketer but aside from that, there's a reason this headset is the most popular choice for the driving industry.

    Now, my wife has the Plantronics Voyager Pro, the one sold at most Pilots, Flying J's, and Loves, and she really likes it but in my opinion, the tiny battery in it doesn't last long. Hers has to be charged a lot more often but it works almost as well as my parrot does.

    Ya, another I love my blue parrot piece of crap headset thread.

    Ill cast my vote for the Plantronics Voyager Pro.

    I do have to wonder how many blue parrots are sent in every year for warranty work from being accidently chewed on by fatty in the buffet line? I heard they are going to start making them from the same material as a cows cud.

    Out of the two years I've had mine, the only time it has ever given me fits is back when both myself and my wife were sharing it. In other words, having two phones paired to it at the same time.

    Now that she has her own headset, I've gotten nothing but flawless use out of it ever since.

    I've been using the Celltronix over the head for more than a year,, it's comfortable and works great, AND was only $49.00

    Have a few different ones, the small BT for normal talk and a headphone set for driving.

    I have the Bose series 2 Bluetooth, I love it.. Great sound quality and people tell me that don't even know I am in a truck.. It will set you back about 150.00 for it.. Wouldn't buy anything else.
