    I have a blue parrot 450 I think it is a mx series it is a few years old I also have a comexium that I bought on a whim when I was having some issues with my parrot. I can not where Barbuda style so these are both 1 side muff style. The commexium is a little more comfortable for me but the blue parrot have better noise canceling and people on the other end here less noise. If I would buy another pair I don’t no if I would spend the extra money for the blue parrot as they were over 200 and the comexium were 60

    C400 XT is the one I liked

    A friend of mine runs the B350 XT and he’s been very happy with his. He wears his all day around the farm, in the grain elevator and semi

    Hands free cellular conversations. Some trucks don’t have bluetooth built in to the cab radio and the inside of a lot of trucks are not very quiet so noise reduction built into these headsets for hearing and speaking are pretty critical.

    Been driving for 24 years. Gave up on blue parrot. Check out blue tiger. You can find them at flying j. Bought the middle model, goes a month on one charge, dropped several times and no issues as it’s mil-spec, great sound. Bought one 6 years ago, still use it daily with zero issues.

    Law says hands free. It was for CDL’s a few years first. Commercial vehicle drivers and their carriers both get fines up to $25,000 for holding a phone.
    Imagine if it was that high for everyone?

    Been using the polycom 5200 for years. Good warranty, poly customer service has been awesome. For me, it’s both construction and driving. Quality is good enough i don’t answer a call without it
