    How about something with small design factor. I won’t put that ocer the head thing on. I couldn’t stand it. It’s 2018.

    I still use my old Plantronics Voyager. I bought a big Blue Parrot headset and after about 2 weeks hated it and went back to the Voyager.

    It's just an over the ear piece, but the sound quality is good enough for today's quiet trucks. What I love the most, though, is that it's so lightweight that I don't even know I'm wearing it.

    Yes, the proper procedure is to put on your speaker phone, set the volume to InstaStun, hold the phone up to your face like a walkie talkie, then have inappropriate conversations in crowded places.

    Works great. I normally swing the mic over so whomever i’m on the phone with can hear the driver in the stall next to me. You know all the growning and heavy breathing. Like he just ran a marathon while trying to poo.

    I've used the blueparrott since 2008 and have upgraded to the newer one's when they've come out and the older one's still work. I had a problem one time with the first one, I called blueparrott and they sent a new one with no problem.

    Blue Parrott 350. Been great, trouble-free, with exceptional battery life. Had for 3 years now, with no problems. If you want to "look good" when wearing one...forget it! But for Bluetooth and sound cancelling tech, they're great.

    There’s nothing to make a haircut out of anymore.

    I thought that I read somewhere that the fine for that is $2,500. Does anyone know if that is true?

    I listen to a lot of educational things and talk radio and whatnot, there is no kind of headset that works for both ears that is legal?
