    Any suggestions to a good headset? I currently have a blue tooth that hangs on the ear not the best with noise cancelling and staying put. Feedback please.

    Thanks.

    I use the Blue Parrot.. It's the only headset that I've ever owned that I actually had to turn the volume down..

    I can be mowing my lawn and the person on the other end can hear me just fine..

    BlueParrott B250-XT is the one I use. Amazing noise cancelling on both sides of the call! And like Ken said, the only one you will have to turn the volume down it works so well!
    Most truck stops have them in stock for about 99 bucks. I found mine on eBay for something like 65.00 shipped.
     
    CAGEtrucker Thanks this.

    Ditto, I just got mine, been using it a week now. I can actually hear better on it then holding my cellphone. My wife said that if it wasn't for my CB, she could not tell I'm in my truck.

    I use the headset, over the ear, and don't care if I look like a McD's order taker, it works great for me!!

    Blue parrot is a good one for the full on headset or you could go with a Jawbone which does hang from the ear but offers great noise cancellation I can be driving with the foot to the floor and anyone I'm talking to on the phone can only hear me.

    I have had the Plantronics Voyager Pro for a couple of years now and will definately be purchasing another one should this one ever meet its demise. It has great noise cancelling and has awesome quality both to me and the person on the other end. The other end says that I sound better on the Voyager Pro then on the standered mic on my phone! I also have a Blue Parrot that I use for back up. It works, but the thing I don't like about it is that if you have a hat on, you have to be fumbling with the bluetooth just to remove my hat. Also, the LED light on the Blue Parrot is annoyingly bright when night driving. A side note, the old saying "You get what you pay for." sure holds true when it comes to a handsfree bluetooth set. Good luck and drive safe.
