Bluetooth

Hello all,

So I made out pretty well this Christmas, thanks to my generous family. I want to upgrade my Bluetooth headset from this old cobra model I have.

So what are you all using and what's the positives and negatives towards them? I was looking at the Blue Parrot 250 and 350 and I'm torn between them.

I'm open to all Bluetooth devices so tell me what's good.

Thank you and merry Christmas to all!

 

I don't use a BT headset yet but might be in the market for one in the future. I currently use just the regular ear buds from my phone.

I have heard very good things about the two Blue Parrots that you mention in your OP bit don't have hands on with them.

I too look forward to the opinions posted here by others.

Stay Safe,

The Blue Parrot is the better choice in my opinion.

I just upgraded to the 350, and every now and again it does some wierd stuff, locks on to a buzzing noise when answering a call (with iPhone 6 plus), and requires unpairing/shutting off phone - highly annoying.

250 worked fine for years.

 

I use plantronics voyager edge and voyager pro. I know everbody recommends blue parrot, and for good reason, but I never liked the telemarketer look.

Google plantronics, or go to amazon and read the reviews, best blue tooth in my opion (in ear that is). Only downside is the volume can be a little too low inside a noisy truck, but I solved that by using the biggest eartip that they had and it's more than loud enough for me now. It seems you need a tight fit, like your using earbud headphones, to block out some of the surrounding noise better. I can go all day with it in, or over my ear. Very comfortable, almost to the point that I forget that It's in my ear.

Two thumbs up for me.

 

Blue Parrot 250 works best, Voyager pro is more comfortable.

Chose the Blue Parrot, just don't leave it on my head when not in use.

I have the Blue Parott 250+. Noise cancellation is fabulous. I've talked on the headset, gotten out of the truck to check with the farmer while standing by a running auger with a gas engine, and still was able to talk to the dispatcher and they didn't notice the noise from the auger.
I charge it on the weekend, use it all week, shut it off for the night and it lasts all week without a recharge.

 

I personally cannot recommend the Voyager Pro HD.
BUT, I had years of great service with it paired to a flip phone.
I upgraded to a Moto X smart phone and now some of the people receiving my calls complain about their voice echoing. Plantronics was of no help resolving the issue.
Sorry I wasn't much positive help. I for one would like to know what you end up with and the results, BOL.

 

Keep em coming. I appreciate the reviews already, I'll let this go another day or two and will make a decision Sunday night or Monday.

More reviews!

Thanks.

 

Voyager is bad, all of my trucking buddies use Parrot besides one guy using Voyager. None of us can hear him well. Parrot is just awesome. And besides, who cares about telemarketer look, deer on the road?
