New Bluetooth Headset?

Update on my Blue Parrot. A little over 5 years old and starting to have pairing problems. Could be my new phone. Could be me. Stills works perfect after getting it connected. Now I have learned to use the phone to pair instead of the blue parrot. Maybe Santa will bring me a new one if I am a good boy this year.

 

I had to replace my blue parrot and instead of getting a blue parrot I got the blue tiger. I can't wait for it to die so I can go back and get a BP. The BT is supposed to be able to pair with 2 phones but its a pain. I can't wait till it breaks.

 

One more vote for the BlueParrot 250-XT. Replace just the battery, instead of the whole headset, once the battery life starts to go down. Don't bother with the new "+" model.

 

Even if a Blue Parrot only lasts a year or so, consider how well it served you during that time. I have had mine for over 2 years, and it still works great. Even if it died on me before now, I would still get another, considering the great performance I got out of it.

 

I would rather pay $75 for a quality piece of equipment, that only lasts a year, than pay $50 for a piece of junk that lasts 5 years. Just say'n

 

Tried a Bose model (small, in-the-ear like normal BT headsets are) - it works pretty well, just make sure it 'points' toward your mouth. A little more pricey at $150 and the battery life seems to be kinda short. But if you don't like the 'Mission Control' look...

They give you 30 days to return if you aren't happy.

 

Blue Parrot. On my third one in four years. Each time, the earpiece is what breaks and warrants replacement. Tried the others. They all got returned.

Bought mine on Amazon new for about $70 with free shipping. Why do people pay $100 plus tax at the truck stops?

 

I bought the plantronics voyager pro hd for $89 at frys. I drove with all windows down and called my girlfriend, I had to tell her they were down and I was driving 70. It was a little hard to hear her with all the wind but I was able to understand everything.
