    That’s good to know. I’d rather use air pods. Seems like the most comfortable plus noise blocking would be beneficial.

    I've been using the Blue Parrot 450xt for years, and I've been wearing glasses even longer. You can't go wrong with it.

    I went with the plantonics 5200. See how it goes. If I don’t like them I’ll go with AirPods Pro or blue parrot. But please keep the recommendations coming. Especially if it can be bought at truck stops.

    I like to listen to music after I’m done driving and going for a walk or something, you know like regular headphones. So I suggest buying the ones that have one side of the ear piece being removable. That way you’ve got a headset that you can use while you’re driving or a good set of headphones to listen to music on when you’re not. Just my opinion.

    Airpods work, but the mic does not have noise suppression like a Blue Parrot or similar. People will be able to hear you, but they'll also hear all the noise inside the cab. With a trucker style headset, you can be talking in the truck and the person you're talking to would never know it. Save up points and get what you want at the truck stop. PFJ frequently has them on sale. There's a $50 off coupon in the PFJ app right now for the Rand McNally.

    Blue Tiger Elite for the win. Very comfortable, you can remove one ear piece, and they totally rock for listening to music.
