    Don't know about 250 but 350 does. Works for everything. Loud enough to hurt your ears. My 350 has been going strong for 3 or 4 years now.

    Ive got a BP350 that keeps on kicking. Still get "are you there?" questions from the lady when i dont talk. Love that callers can hear nothing but me.Hate when folks yell with the volume up tho...

    2 years money well spent.

    Early models of the Blue Parrot B-250xt didn't support media audio, just phone calls. Later models like the B250+XTS do support media and phone calls. If you get a B250 model with the micro-usb charger it is compatible with media audio. I have one of the earliest B250 models to support media audio with the barrel power jack. You probably cannot even find the phone call only models of the 250 at truck stops. Mine is probably 3-5 years old and it works like new, but I don't wear mine every where I walk and sleep in it like most drivers.

    Another BP350 user and fan here. Found it on Walmart.com (actually shipped from a 3rd party) for the best price anywhere I compared to on the net

    The company truck i drive is stupid loud and refuse to make a complaint, My AC only comes out the defroster. Windows down. All sound and no go.

    Well anyway i bought a stereo headset. Illegal as crap and knock on wood been about 18 months now and never pulled over for it. can still hear sirens and obviously dont use it doing anything verbal outside commands.

    Similar to these, but only $42. ( mine arent on amazon anymore )
    Once you go stereo you never go back.
