    Blue Parrot is hands down the best for truckers. Best noise cancelling and call clarity. Have to wear headset which does get old. Can pick one up on Amazon for around $60. About a hundred at Pilot/Loves//etc/

    I have used the Plantronics Voyager series for a couple of years now with good results. I just picked up the new Voyager Legend with my Pilot points. It has 7 hours talk time.Very comfortable to wear.:yes2557:

    Bestbuy.com had the Blue Parrot last time I was on there. Way cheaper then a truck stop.

    Get the B250xt. Don't get the B250xt+. The + has a lot more problems connecting with certain phones. That is straight from Blue Parrot customer service.

    Amazon.com has a Zelher P20 that works great. DBtech TB-1 has a similar look and specs, but a lower price... 21 hours of talk time and 400 hours of standby time... For sale on Amazon.com

    I have had a few Blue Parrots and they are over priced for China made merchandise. The TaoTronics TT-BH02, Zelher P20 and the DBtech TB-1 work great. The TaoTronics are light weight compared to many headsets. I have tried hundreds of dollars worth of headsets... over the head and in the ear.

    This is 100% true ! I had to replace my XT after 3 years and figure the XT+ would be a good upgrade, "WRONG", Im gonna send it back and get the XT. It's the best hands down.

    my $20 bluetooth from walmart works just as good as them $100 blue parrots from the truckstop.

    one of these days i might start using it on a full time basis though. i just can't stand anything in my ears. i get an ear ache for a week.

    I second the Plantronics Voyager. My father in law uses it as well and we hear each other just fine. Mine broke on me but I'm due for an upgrade anyways as that one was over a year old. Might get the legend. Right now I'm using the Volvo built in bluetooth system. Not the ideal situation but better than a $2700 fine, lol. I used a blue parrot for a while but then the mic went out on it. Went back to the Voyager which I used for backup and when I was home as my daughter refused to ride anywhere with me wearing my dorky headgear, lol!
