    This headset is the best I have ever owned. I hear people loud and clear and they hear me even with windows open or standing in front of my truck at a truck stop some minor static but still understandable. I really like the 3 choices ear piece, over the head or neck hugger. The over the ear piece did no work real well for me but I really like the neck hugger one. GREAT headset and work the extra 10 bucks over the 250-xt for 3 ways to wear it oh plus about 8 different ear pieces.

    Hope this helps anyone looking for e good headset I love this thing.

    I just got mine.. Not a single one of the wearing options fits me.. My head is either too big or my ears are too small..

    Gonna see if I can't rig something up.. Maybe just duct tape it to my head..

    How about some gorilla glue instead:biggrin_25523:

    J/K I have a prob with head pieces as well. When I buy fitted hats I have to have at least an 8 and thats after it has been stretched. I have had a Blueparrot 250 for 1 1/2 years but now I'm really having probs with it. I charge it overnight and during the day it just disconnects itself from the phone. Every now and then the volume changes on its own. Not sure if its from the constant wear and tear or technical. Anybody else have the same????

    I have the 250 also.. The only problem I'm having with it it is that it sometime doesn't stay synced.

    When I turn it on it will sync up just fine then after about a minute it will disconnect. There's no rhyme or reason as to when or why it does this. But it's frustrating as hell..

    Other times it works just fine for weeks on end without that problem..

    Yup, just tossed my third one out the window. Nice audio, noise cancelling, but too bad they will cause an accident because of the disconnecting. I used all of them with a pair of Motorola Quanticos. Not exactly an uncommon phone. You'll be driving down the road and it'll disconnect, reconnect, and you think everything is dandy until you make or recieve a call and find you have no audio even though you are shown as connected by both phone and set. To reset, you either go into the phone and reset BT, or plug the phone in until the charge indicator comes on, then reset. The issue starts from new and progresses from there until your head spins 360. A quick search on the net shows I am by far not the only one.

    Maddening junk.

    VXI, are you listening? Your "safe" headset is just the opposite. Nothing like trying to answer a call while driving down the road and having to go through this process every time you turn around.

    This is what I use also. It is just awesome, my friends always stop talking to ask if I am still there cause they cant hear anything if I am not speaking. It has never disconnected and I can go all the way to the doors on my trailer and it is still good to go talking the whole way . It is really comfortable too. I cant imagine why everyone uses those huge dorky lookin jetson ones over these.

    Mine is starting to give me problems anyone know what it might be last nigh I took the battery out to see if it would reset. It has been disconnecting and reconnecting for a few weeks now. And now it's turning off whenever I got to end a call. It s about 2 years old should I just buy a new one? It's the 250 xt.
