    My fav is Blue Tiger elite. My first one lasted about nine months then went bad. I called them and they replaced it without any questions. Had a new one in less then a week. Also it has a lifetime warranty. Has the best noise canceling and is light and comfy.

    I have all the BP headsets (I won them at MATS) and had bought several 250xt over the years. Customer support stinks. Both 250s broke. The 450s (covers both ears) is good for music but don't try it driving and it's noise canceling is almost non existent. But the are not sold in many truckstops. The 450b (single ear) is better but for me it still blocks to much outside noise and I don't like the noise canceling that much. Besides it gets heavy on the head. The 350 is much better and lighter. Although it's noise canceling is satisfactory (before we had all the headsets charged one day and the better half did her comparison while I was driving down the road I thought it was good) it did fall short of the blue tiger.

    I know I'm suppose to be pro blue parrot after winning over $600 in headsets from them. But for me they don't match up to the blue tiger elite.

    I am considering going back to the Voyager (now the legend) not sure what it was called back in the day when I originally had it. I missed that one the most and I am sure it would stick work had it not been for the dog chewing it up.

    I have one of those and it works great with no issues. Connects fast every time and battery lasts a while. The only problem is it really starts to hurt my ear if I wear it for more than 20-30 minutes. Don't know why, I tried adjusting it and nothing helped.

    I only wear mine when I'm talking on the phone. When the convo is over it comes off. I don't talk on the phone much at all

    I am a clumsy electronic devices abuser but my blue parrot lasts and lasts, I had only three for the last 8 years. I am using B350 -XT third year now. I can't count how many times I dropped it or sat on it....maybe I've been lucky but the thing refuses to die.

    Had a blue parrot, it lasted two years. I had two blue tigers in one year. So I went back to a blue parrot. 250 I think. Had this one about 8 months no problems

    B350 - XT has got the usb cable and charger, so it charges quicker and you are not stuck with that one charger and cable. There is no need to go through this silly 12 hours precharging anymore as with older models. I've also noticed less problems with connection losses with Android phones. The big, ear-head blue parrot ( the newest and biggest model) I do not recommend, too heavy and your ear will sweat. Sound not any better either.

    I'd say that B250 is like Truckersedge, and the B350 is Dat Power. LOL

    For the money, this is your Best Buy. Oh, it'll break but very inexpensive to replace.
