    Anyone have recommendation for a headset, one that is comfortable while wearing glasses. Thanks

    S450-XT is a good one. They also have one with a removable side to be legal on the road too.

    I haven't found any of the Blue Parrots to be comfortable for longer than a few minutes, especially with glasses. They all, even the larger ones, sit on top of the ear and press your ear into the glasses arm. I like the Rand McNally Cleardryve 220 which fits around your ear, not on top of it. It's the most comfortable I've tried. Technology and durability wise, I think the Blue Parrot is slightly better, but not enough to make up for the poor comfort.

    My buddy runs Apple Air Pods, which seem like a better solution than some BS clamped over your head, everyday. I just use the Bluetooth system in my truck.

    Thankyou. Those maybe out of my price range. Have to check again.

    I wanted to use them but can people hear you talk clearly? I use the blue tooth in the truck now and people say it’s hard to hear me. I’m in a 2023 freightliner.

    I have been using the RoadKing 940
    Bluetooth headset for the last four months and it has been a good experience. I don't have any trouble with wearing my glasses at the same time.

    It's loud enough for me to hear over the un-muffled exhaust and the noise cancelling microphone keeps the unwanted noise from bothering the person I am on the phone with.

    The battery life is also excellent and the range for good call clarity is about 80 feet.

    It’s the only way I ever talk to him. He’s very busy and always on the go, which is about the only time we can talk. He’s as clear as can be.

    T680 factory stereo, for me.
