    I recently overheard a conversation between a Pilot register person (who seemed to have been very experienced in that position) and an older gentleman (not a trucker) who asked for advice on a Bluetooth and she basically told him to buy any Blue Parrot because the others they see coming back for returns and exchanges all the time and rarely do they see Blue Parrot's come back.

    Half of the truck drivers dress like they are homeless so when I see someone that looks homeless but I see a bluetooth over their head or around their neck I know that they are a truck driver.


    I had a JAWBONE that people complemented me on because they could hear me so clearly. I could NEVER get the volume high enough while going down the road to hear anyone so I forced the bluetooth into my ear canal by holding my hand over the ear loop which caused the ear loop to break. When it wore out I bought an over the head Blue Parrott B250-xt. Battery never runs down like my jawbone did but after charging the Blue Parrott I keep forgetting to turn the volume down and get blasted by too high of volume.

    I just got the Blueparrot B250-XT+ and it works beautifully. My girlfriend hears me nice and clearly when I'm talking to her while I'm driving.

    Had a two hour call the day after I got it with Skype, and other than a small delay due to Skype, everything was real good.

    After have problems with several bluetooths,I got a Blue Parrot and haven't had a single problem since. I used my points from Pilot so it didn't cost me a anything. It does look very dorky but I go into the truckstop and if there's a huge crowd around me I say very low "The job is done,but there's blood EVERYWHERE......never have to wait in line.
