Recommendation For BlueTooth Headset

Go to a local big truck stop and store. Get what the truckers use.

Blue Parrot is what most use. I personally use one. Great noise cancelling abilities.

Our guys use the Plantronics in the office and the same one on the road. This company seems to have the headset tech down pat.

I use the Plantronics Voyager Legend. Works great , I forget it's on sometimes.

Another vote for the Blue Parrot.

That's what a lot of the truckers use. Great battery life and sounds great to who ever you're talking with on the other end.

Blue Parrot and Blue Tiger are, for my money, the best noise canceling and provide the best voice clarity on the market. Both are tough and will take lot of abuse but they don't last forever.

The only gripe I have with both is their "lifetime" warranty. When one dies and you get a RMA they ship you a rebuilt one, for around $50-60. For the same money you can buy a rebuilt on the retail market or eBay. Both have excellent customer service.

For the casual user I don't think they are worth it unless you want a boom mike.

I use a Plantronics Voyager Legend, a blue tooth connected headset with a short boom microphone. Works good and no complaints from the people I talk to.

It does have a poor recharger that is difficult to keep connected while charging. Full talk time on a charged battery is about 7 hours.

Some reports say it is uncomfortable but not for me. In fact, I forget I'm using it.

I've tried two Jawbones but they didn't work as well as the Plantronics and kept falling out of my ear. Guess my ears aren't made for the Jawbones.

In Calif, it is legal to use a headset with only a single ear piece.

While I don't use it while driving (I have blue tooth in vehicle) I've had excellent luck with the blue parrot headsets.

Not a lot of used just the occasional use.

If the use will be mostly for handsfree cell phone, then a simple single sided wired earpiece with microphone in the cord is much cheaper and more reliable (no battery to keep charged).
