    I have an iPhone 5 and the blue parrott bt-250xt right now. I have been told lately there has been a lot of background noise when I'm talking, and its starting to shut off by itself more and more. Time to upgrade.

    I know the 250xt plus is supposed to be great, but I would like something a little less bulky. Has anyone tried the xpressway II? Or the xpress? What did you think?

    I had the same problem with mine, it turns out the issue was whenever the a/c vents were pointing at me people could hear background noise. Turned the blower up to defrost while on the phone and it solved all the problems.

    Save the money and buy a new battery for it ($10) and a new foam windscreen for the mic.

    I just upgraded to the vxi Xpressway (It's last year's model). The noise reduction is superior to the B250-XT, but the headset adapter is kinda flimsy.

    Using the B-250 xt+. Amazon $82.50 free shipping. Don't buy this sort of stuff at a truckstop... Best fidelity ever, have several friends who receive calls from me tell me I sound like I am in the living room with them.. Foam around the mic makes a big difference....

    I need a new foam piece for mine. Can you buy just the foam piece? Know where?

    I tried the xpressway. Party on the other end heard every bot of background noise. The one with the head band works best. No engine noise, and I could turn the radio to max and they still fant hear it.

    Mine had a 1 yr warranty, its 4 yrs old this Aug. Still works great. If it was stolen tonight I would buy another in the morning.
