Headsets, recommend one...

These are LG's. LG aptX. They are the best. mic is in the necklace someplace. You put the plugs in your ears. Done just talk. Range is about to the back of the trailer if you leave the phone in your cab.
I got these free when I bought the phones. Think they are like $135. Once you get hooked on them, you'll use them everywhere. I haven't talked on my phone holding it in my hand for over a year.

 

I bought the base model Blue Parrot when I first started and still use it to this day over a year later. Haven't had a single problem with it yet and still holds a standby charge for several days (that's with it on but not connected, off it lasts a while longer).

 

I started out with a Blue Parrot v2.4. After accidentally leaving it home one time, I had to buy another.

I bought what I thought was the same B250-XT but nooo... the new one was v3.0... and it SUCKED!

Changing the volume or doing anything that involved making it beep in your ear now required me to pull it away from my head first. The beeping would drill a hole though your head and cause your spine to bleed it was so loud.

And then the sound quality... night and day from v2.4. The v3.0 model sounded muffled and muddy. I kept having to ask people to repeat themselves.

So, I returned it and got another. Same deal... crappy quality compared to earlier ones. I ended up sending it directly back to VXI and had them send me back a refurbished v2.4 which I am still using today.

Now this one needs a battery and I'm leery of buying a new one. Probably just send it back to them and have a new battery put in.

 

What he said was said

 

I second what all of them said.

Just sayin'....

 

Real truckers don't need head sets or blue tooth. We OG's

 

I had a really nice blue parrot. The one that's 130 bucks at most truck stops. Starting petering out around 6 months and died after a year

 

Blue parrot.
