    What is one of the better ones available? My old blue parrot b250 XT went to crap. Bought a new one and it screwed up in less than a month. What are you guys using?

    I use the same one, no problems. Should have bought it on Amazon, tho. I was fed up with my old Cobra BTH-1 dropping connection, so it was an impulse buy at a Pilot.

    My old one lasted about 4 or 5 years. With the new one the earphone flopped out of the head brace or whatever it is. It would hang by the wires. I thought wtf when I got it. I should have sent it back but I needed to hit the road and no blue tooth wasn't an option. Amazon Prime is great I can have a new one Monday. Just not sure I want to buy more junk which is what the last blue parrot I bought was, $74 of junk.

    The old stuff was better. The new stuff is just half passed a pile of spaghetti that doesn't work together.

    Get another blue parrot. My buddy just got the 450xt(newest model) and loves it. We both bought one of the new Blue Tigers a week apart about 6 months, got suckered in with there massive advertising campaign I guess. His crapped out a month ago. Mine is giving nine kinds of problems and I am about to get the blue parrot. The blue tiger is a lifetime warranty and I guess I will send this one in and try to get a new one and keep it as a backup.

    Just saw your response on bad luck with the blue parrot. Hmmm... Maybe I won't go that route. My buddy is swearing by it tho.

    I bought the blue parot 450 at the first of the year, piece of junk. I have to charge it all the time and it will not only lose connection with the phone but I have to re pair it almost daily. First and last 150 dollar headset.

    I'm going back to a Plantronics. Last one last a couple years with no issues

    Yep I forgot to mention my blue parrot randomly dropped in and out of being paired. They're really not all they are cracked up to be. I had plantronics years ago. It was good but I could hear better over the truck with the blue parrot.
