    I hav the xpressway and I dont care for it. I cant hear people for nothing. Those little motorola over the ear ones worked the best for me but so easy to lose.

    My Blue Parrot died after a year or so. The headset had difficulty locking on to the cell phone after charging and would disconnect itself after an incoming call. Finally after a month of fighting with the thing it finally refused to turn on at all even with the power plug attached. Sorry guys the Blue parrot will fail after a year or so.

    I have upgraded to the Blue Tiger Pro and it seems to be better constructed and has a better warranty for the same price (around 100 bucks).

    So far no complaints with the Blue Tiger at all. Comparing the 2 together side by side the Blue Tiger wins hands down.

    I use a Plantronics which I'm very happy with. Its clear and loud enough that I can actually hear the other person.

    I use a Motorola Roadster speakerphone.....plenty load enough to hear conversations well and no one has been any the wiser that they are on a speakerphone....even in old beat to snot gravel trucks.

    I wrote on here earlier about my lack of enthusiasm with a Motor Trend headset. Bought a Blue Parrot a couple weeks ago and it's much, much better. The flashing light is annoying but I'll probably just cover it with some nail polish. Tried a sharpie and it all rubbed off in a day.

    Dirty Bob, there is a way to make them not do that. I can't remember for sure what it is, but check your instructions. I think you quickly push both up & down volume at the same time, but not sure about that. Check your instructions
     
    DirtyBob Thanks this.

    You were right. I looked it up and it was the up and down volumes at the same time. Thanks, much better now.

    Blueparrot hands down best bluetooth I've ever had, and I've had a few. If you don't like the head set style and would rather have the type that goes in your ear try the jawbone. I loved mine it just couldn't block the noise of my truck. 6" straights, old cabover not insulated like the new ones. Hell I forgot I'm also sitting directly over the engine. Hmmm, I wonder if that had anything to do with it. It would probably do pretty good job in a quiet truck. Anyway the blueparrot does a great job.
