    The 350 with the v3.33 version software is tits(awesome). I have to keep turning it down. And it's clear. The first version of the 350 was 2.3 or close to it and the sound was to bassy. I had to replace it cause the headband snap(my fault) but the warranty replace it with a "brand new" one and the new version software. Btw, Im hard of hearing to, straight pipes, running to amps on my stereo has giving me hearing loss.

    Another thing about the B350XT, you can pair 2 devices(phones).

    You won't have a problem hearing on the blue parrot Lo Jack. Although it is big and looks really goofy. I guess I'm going to try the 350 this time.
     
    Diesel Dave and LoJackDatHo Thank this.

    I appreciate the info. With my legend, I have to push it in my ear more when talking to most people just so I can hear them. Have you looked into the new 450 parrot? I was considering it

    My Blue Parrot has been going for over 4 years now. Earpiece pops off every now and then, but no performance issues at all.

    I've been using bluetooth headsets since they came out, long before I started in trucking. I've never had any that lasted longer than 1.5 - 2 yrs before the electronics started dying.

    Even though you've made up your mind, I'll cast a vote for the Blue Tiger Elite. I've had the Blue Parrot and it's lighter and more comfortable for long calls. The Tiger is much better in a noisy cab and the battery lasts me a week on a charge.

    One thing they don't make a big deal of is Blue Tiger customer service. Awesome. Under warranty they ship another one out for just about any complaint. After the year warranty, they will sell you a comparable replacement at about 50% discount under a "lifetime replacement" deal they offer. Doesn't help when you need one right now or out on the road, but better than paying full price for a replacement when you don't need it that fast. In both cases they ship with a free return label to send the old defective one back to them.

    Went to Best Buy today to exchange one of my plantronics legend Bluetooth and got a blue parrot S450-XT. Have only tried it in the pickup truck but so far the volume in the ear piece sounds great. Best Buy even price matched my legend at $129.00. Since I was exchanging it on the 2 year protection plan, I got the blue parrot and only had to pay $19.99 for a new 2 year protection plan. I know the S450-XT has both earpieces for stereo sound instead of one like the 450 but you can rest the other ear piece above your ear or behind it comfortably so as not to have both ears covered. So far, highly recommend, but time will tell. Won't be back in big truck for a few days. I'll try to report more then

    I have a Plantronics on the way. I'm going to get another blue parrot probably a 350 or 450. Not sure yet. I won't be without a backup again though. Thanks for everyone's input.
