    I still use the first Parrot that came out when I started driving 9 years ago.
    With that the only thing I can see is maybe you should work on your anger issues lol.

    I bought my ear piece in Sams I think around 2009. I still have it and it works. The only problem is that plastic hook piece rotted and broke. Just not worth trying to find a replacement. I love what I am using right now.

    Get a Blue Tiger.
    Free replacement first year.
    $30 replacement for life after that.

    They don't ask questions.
    Been using for years.
    Had to get two replaced for button wear.. one free, one $30.

    This last one still rolling strong 3 years in.
    Well worth it. Never full price again.
    Great product.

    Thanks. I will stop by Pilot on the way to the yard today. I did see the Blue Tiger in the case yesterday. I need to get one today though. My wife and Mom thinks I stopped calling them on purpose. Then I had to stop twice yesterday to call dispatch.

    They are expensive in the truck stop... as are most headsets and brands.

    If you can order it on Amazon you'll likely get it much cheaper.
    Just make certain that you register it and save the box/receipt.

    To save the $, it may be worth the aggravation of pairing w the Bluetooth in your radio if you have it.. or just pulling over to talk with your lived ones.
    They'll understand if you explain it.

    Friend of mine got his for like $79 on Amazon instead of $129--139 in store.
    All mark up.
    May get lucky and find a sale or mail in rebate.

    Good luck.

    I use the plantronics off Amazon. I have mine for 6 months and it's a awesome earpiece , no bulky headsets for me .

    I have the Trucker Pro by MPOW. $22 at Amazon. Had it two years and still works great.

    I thought it was $60 replace?
    I just bought some cheap Chinese head set of amazon, 2 head sets for $35 I think. The speaker is not very loud. But it functions ok.

    @Oldironfan
    The 2 times I've to do it... once was free.. the 2nd was $30.

    They better not have gone up.
    I'm going to do some research now.
    Perhaps it's a grandfathered deal.
    New purchases may be at the new rate and older customers at 30.. dunno.

    I'll pitch a fit if they went to $60 on me and I need one.
