    been using the blue ant after having terrible luck with blue parrots. It works great except its pretty small so dont lose it in the seating or floorboards.

    The Jabra I posted above can mate to 2 different devices.

    From looking at the Blue Parrot site, even their latest unit (VXi BlueParrott® Xpress) doesn't appear that it can do that.

    The Jabra is on sale at Bozo Barn (Radio Shack) for $69.
    For $10 more, you can buy a "beat-the-crap-out-of-this" warranty (1yr) and they will cover anything but theft.

    I like the Jabra though as it will do A2DP and can mate to 2 devices.
    [A2DP is used with GPS, music players, laptops and other Bluetooth-enabled devices]

    ...just dont get the Jabra wet..

    I have had the best luck with blue tiger. Never had the disconnect problems and sounds clear,stays charged all week too.
    I have had blue parrots in the past an yeah about once a year you have to get it replaced or buy a new one because it broke and they won't replace it.

    I have the new blue parrot xpress and my second one just crapped out. The stupid things stop charging for some reason. If it wasn't for that I luv it people always think I'm sitting in a office somewhere cuz its so quiet.

    I agree. I am on my second Voyager Pro +. The first one lasted about 18 months. When I went back to AT&T, they didn't have it in stock so I tried 3 others & none worked well at all for various reasons. Someone mentioned the Jawbone. I had one a few years ago & it crapped out after about 3 months. I am sure it was just a defective device so I won't go too hard on it, but, I got another this time & it just wouldn't work well for me in the truck. My wife has one & its a constant problem. It wont connect about 1/2 the time. but anyway, probably just another bad unit so...
    Back to the Voyager Pro +, as the post above states, people don't even know if I am driving or not. There is NO background noise. It is plenty loud & I don't have a problem hearing the person I am talking to. I ordered this one from Amazon for about $65 or so. Its the best thing by far that I have used in 8 or 10 years of using bluetooth head sets.

    I have to say that I have never used the Blue Parrot. It sounds as if it would be a great piece.
