That’s what I was afraid of. I went with the plantronics off Amazon hope they’re not uncomfortable. I totally forgot about my peelot points. Oh well. Maybe I’ll use them for free parking.

Blue tiger. Got tired of the blue parrot sets. Not. very sturdy. Charge mine once a month, listen to music from my phone through it, great sound. Milspec, dropped it several times, no issues. Flying j has them.

I've been using my Blue Parrot 250BXt since 2017 or earlier. $99 worth of Love's points.

I had a blue Parrot I bought in 2007. Don't know the model number. Accidentally stepped on it last year. Until then it still worked well, though the charge only lasted a couple days. Bought another Blue Parrot. Don't know the model number on this one either but it was the cheapest one Loves had and the only one I had enough points to get. Seems as good as the old one. I don't wear it all of the time, but only put it on when I get a call. And I have never had it on outside the truck.

Plantronics is an actual headset company (they have been making headsets for phone operators, etc. for a very long time). By contrast, Blue Parrot seems more in the business of selling things in truck stops (JMHO).
I had some tiny in-ear Plantronics headset which worked amazingly well. And it was discreet enough to use out of the truck. Although then you are 'that guy' who is talking to himself in the store.
Any of the headsets with a big boom with foam over it will likely have better background noise reduction, just because of physics.
Taking nothing away from experienced members here who seem to be highly recommending the Blue Tiger, I have no experience with that one. But above was roughly my thought process last time I went looking.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -

After trying 3 different headrests this is by far the most comfortable even with glasses. It's not bullky and doesn't press against the ear. It feels no different while wearing glasses. IMO the 350 is the way to go. I have had mine for 7 years and it has been dropped, sat on, and frozen many times, fast charge and still lasts a long time. Although you can use it for media, it obvious it's best suited for phone calls. The design appears to be updated a bit but looks very similar to the one I use. I have always had an android so I cannot attest to the compatibility with apple ios.

I use bose ear buds and blue parrot 350xt.
The buds are way more comfortable, and call clarity and quality is similar. -
I've used these for years. Sound quality is very good. Have a brand new blue parrot that I've never used as it seems too clunky to me.
