Saying goodbye to my old friend Mr. Blue Parrot.

Because phone calls interrupt the audio book, and because I can still hear the engine. Running it through my radio requires it to be turned up loud in order for me to hear it.

 

I have the 250 as well, and going on 3 years now. I only have to charge it once a week. Only problem I ever had was when my first one got soaked in hydraulic fluid when my RGN blew a hose. Luckily my boss shelled out for a new one then. It's a little long in the tooth (no mic foam either, and on my third ear foam thingy) but still works great.
I'll definitely get another when it kicks the bucket. You guys have me intrigued by the 350 now....LOL
Just an FYI- I got both mine off Amazon, and paid roughly $45-$50 less than truckstop prices....

 

Ironic... I just tossed mine today as well. It finally gave up the ghost. It wouldn't take a charge or hold one. Build date of 2009, so I guess that's okay.

 

Mine is 3 years old and still works like the day I bought it.
Too bad it is so bulky. Only put it on when I use it.
Too uncomfortable to just leave it on.
Plus it looks ridiculous.

 

I have 2 -250xt +, 4yrs/6months. Forgot the charger at the house once and just bought another one. Nice to have a backup when it starts beeping low battery.They work great and not a single issue.

 

Trying something different. I went with a set of Sony bluetooth ear buds. The mic doesn't have voice cancelling like the Blue Parrott, but here's hoping it is sufficient. I wanted to get away from just a bluetooth headset device (I know the newer Blue Parrott's can access multiple devices and media streams). I might be a generation too soon for really high quality features. We shall see...

 

Mine quit taking a charge after 2 years of service. But if I wrap the power cord around the headset to put some tension on the cord and charging port it will charge. Great little bugger. I'll definitely buy again.
