I use the Blue Parrot B250-XT also . I have been using it for three years now with no problems .Great investment .
-
I have the same one had it about a month works great. Only have to charge about every 5 day good sound and everyone says it is very clear. Had a blue parrot this seems to be early bit as good especially at the 25 dollar priceJReding Thanks this.

I hate those headsets. I use a Cobra 29 Bluetooth CB instead. I got the extra mic accessory that plugs in the back. 8 years now and no problems. If the phone rings I just push the little blue button on the Mic and talk. The sound comes over the CB speaker. I believe some aftermarket stereo units will pair with bluetooth phones as well. I have a blue parrot if I need to use a loaner truck but can't stand wearing it.

Plantronics Voyager Legend. Small enough to fit in your shirt pocket when not needed.Talk time is about 7 hours. The charging cord is magnetic for easy one handed hook up while driving if the battery gets low. Does a great job canceling wind noise.
GenericUserName and Sho Nuff Thank this. -
I had both Blue Parrot and Blue Tiger. Parrot was ok, and lasted a little over a year. Tiger broke and needed replacement within a month. Replacement broke, and then they wanted $50.00 for warranty, so I got the Legend. It lasted, but the charger sucks. When it broke, I bought the Edge. This one is great. It has the charger box, can charge with usb cord. Downsides are it only lasts 6 hours and has no range. But the truth is none of the others, even if they stay connected, were much good further than 10-15 feet.Sho Nuff and classic_150 Thank this.

I bought the charger box for the Legend and use it when I am away from the truck. Talk time could be a little longer but for the compact size I think it is pretty good. I leave the charging cord plugged into a charging port in the truck, then it is an easy one handed hook up to recharge the bluetooth. I get about 30 feet range with mine. My phone is a Moto-X 2nd gen., that may help with reception distance.Bean Jr. Thanks this.

I have used Blue Parrot for 4 years now. Best headsets I've found. My 250 was ridiculously tough. Never had a problem with them.

I have blue tiger elite and i have been under my hood with the engine running and wife never had a complaint about it. I tried a plantronics when i first started but she always complained about that.
classic_150 Thanks this. -
The first plantronics I had was like that. It was the Voyager Pro. It wasn't very good at noise cancellation. The Legend and the Edge has excellent noise and wind cancellation.Sho Nuff Thanks this.
