    This is a couple of years old so I might not gets response. But which blue ant is it? I can get a QT when I get home, but if it's not worth it I'll probably just fork over the cash fr a blue parrot expressway. Anybody have experience with blue ants in big trucks? They're pretty high speed and made to work in 20mph winds, but I havent heard a review from a driver yet.

    I love my Voyager HD. The best of ALL I ever had. I can even plug it and charge it while use it so the advantage of Blue Parrot or similar over the head head sets dissappear.
    HD is small and has the best reception and transmission. Love it !

    I've got the Blue Parrot b250 Xt plus now because my old 250xt crapped out. It's nice that i can listen to music and podcasts with it and the sound is much better than the the old one. My wife says it's the truck is louder though.

    I'm not understanding the purpose of the BT Cobra CB.. do you still have to key the mic in order to talk to people, (instead of speaking over the radio it goes to the phone)? in that case it makes no sense to get the CB for BT purposes.. The purpose for BT headsets is for hands free communication, me holding a CB mic to my face while down shifting, turning, and arguing about what i want for dinner isn't very convient.

    It works like a speakerphone, but I got poor reception out if mine. You might be able to upgrade mic or antennae but for that much you can probably get a selection of headsets, lol

    I keyed it like an idiot the first few days until I mouthed off at somebody I was talking to and they heard me! I didn't have it keyed and they responded (was my brother). I was like, "you hear me?!" he said, "no ####### I'm reading your mind." one of these days I'm gonna read instructions before using new electronics.
     
    mitchtazz and AZS Thank this.
