    Going to have to take my chances on the Edge here. I like its small design and the positive reviews outweigh the negative. While with either blue parrot the reviews are about even. Now my study is a bit biased because I only read reviews off Amazon and here...

    Anyway $86.34 saves me money, when looking at two Bluetooth headsets I know nothing about and can't try them out without dropping money and hoping the seller is a verified retailer for plantronics and warrants a return if I don't like the product. Same goes for blue parrot. But that would be $115.XX I'd be gambling with.

    It all came down to who can sell me on an item. Juan was a good salesmen.

    I didn't know till recently that when buying off amazon, it's actually a third party you buy from and their rules don't have to match the original sellers. I always thought Amazon bought from the original seller and then turned it for a profit. Who would have known.

    Does that mean I'll be getting a check? LOL.

    You might be able to set it up on your phone. I'm pretty sure you got a micro USB on your phone. The order comes with it. Never tried it that way. Maybe go back to the Q&A on Amazon and it might be answered there. Plus read the return policy, I think it's 30 day return policy. Could be wrong.

    My Plantronics Voyager Edge arrived last Wednesday. In short, I hate it. I can't hear anybody and they can't hear me (might be a good thing, lol). It's set up in proper English, so it doesn't understand me when I say "answer" or "ignore" - no doubt that would be a relatively easy fix, but I don't want the added aggravation on a device that won't allow me to communicate. It also doesn't fit around my ear properly, it won't get "snug" enough and could be why I can't hear the people on the other line. Just my experience with the product, obviously others endorse it wholeheartedly. My Blue Parrot arrives tomorrow.

    Sorry it didn't work out for you Hook, an in ear bluetooth is one of those things where you either love it or hate. Not everybody's ear is built the same, and you have to find that sweet spot for optimal performance. That's why I attached a picture on my previous post to help with that sweet spot. It took a couple of tries for me to find it. It's probaly why I see more drivers wearing the legend, which is an over the ear headset, because you don't have to deal with finding that sweet spot. But anyway, Parrot, Edge, Legend, it's all DOT compliant.

    Okay, I promised an update on the Blue Parrot. I've used it extensively over the last few days and I like it a lot. Getting used to wearing the "McDonald's drive thru" looking contraption took a few phone calls, but it really isn't bothersome to me at all. The earpiece will bother my ear if I'm on a longer call, I talked to my buddy for over an hour last night and it starting hurting. Was a good excuse to cut the call short, lol!

    The call clarity and volume seem to be good, nobody has complained about not being able to hear me. My girlfriend does seem a bit muffled when I talk to her, but that could be psychological.

    I recommend the Blue Parrot 250 model, I probably should have researched the upgraded 350 before my purchase. I don't know the differences between them, but I'm definitely happy with the 250.
