    Hi everyone I’m a rookie driver and was wondering what you’d recommend for a Bluetooth headset. I’d like something that’ll last a long time and not going to break after a few times using it. thanks

    My work just gave me a Blue Parrot B-350 XT and it works great. My wife can't tell when I am driving or not, she says it's that quite.

    I had another Blue Parrot headset for over 10 years and it still works. The ear piece has separated from the head band and it needs a new cushion, but the battery still lasts all day.

    I don't usually talk for more than an hour a day on it, and I never wear it outside the truck. If this new lasts half as long then my company got it's money worth.

    Its good, i miss the old voyagers though (2010 models) the 5200 for me is an 8/10.

    Bear in mind op that whatever you get and end up actually liking will immediately be discontinued and unavailable 1 month before you break your current one, so experiment, find one, then buy 5 of em

    Also what youre doing will matter,

    need reasonable call quality but primarily listen to music while securing? Aftershockz

    Call quality, the plantronics 5200 is good, the jabra motion is excellent, (the jabra storm WAS perfect, but they neutered volume in their first revision)

    Size and style will matter individually too, the blue parrot version of the plantronics 5200 is great... except its painful to wear after hour 3 despite more or less looking and feeling identical (its also a hair too quiet)

    The jabra motion i mentioned works for me, but most people outside my brothers tell me its physically too big

    I just bought a blue parrott b650 xt to replace my old b250 .
    It's comfortable and great sound quality, big battery that charges fast .
    But it randomly drops calls which I haven't figured out why yet .
     
    MOBee and Nickster909021 Thank this.

    I have a MPOW that cost $25 on ebay. Works just as good as my blue parrots did.
