I have an old headset and the receiving volume is not as loud as I would like. I would like to be able to easily hear people over road and engine noise. Which do you recommend? Thanks

Not sure. But I still use my good old BlueParrot b250. Been using it for years.

Still using my BlueParrot as well. It has been great!
I tried a pro trucker once and it did not fit quite right

I remember six years ago just about every trucker had the blinky blue light on their McDonald's headset that they wore even in bed

LOL, that is funny! I always thought they looked like McDonalds headset as well.
Mine still does, but I wear it only during a call, I do not drive with it, I do not wear it into a truckstop or restaurant.

I would recommend Blue Tiger..
But I've come to find they have issues.
Been using it for 3 years and I've had to exchange it 3 times already under the warranty program.
I'm having a 4th issue now and I'm likely to go a different direction.

I'll prob go back to Blue Parrot

Blue Parrot 350. (450 not as reliable).

Had a Blue Tiger that went bad. No help from them on legitimate complaint.

BP350 keeps going. Gave one to my son as well.

Plantronics is supposed to be very good. I have a cheap MPOW from Amazon that cost me about $22. Two years and not a problem.

Please don’t wear them unless your in the cab and driving please!
This industry has a bad enough reputation.
