Product Description
Amazing sounding calls even in noisy environments. We call it the Roadwarrior (TM) because some of our biggest fans are long-haul truckers. Unlike most over-the-ear headsets, the B250-XT features a professional grade, noise canceling microphone to effectively block out road and engine noise. High grade components ensure professional audio quality. If it works for an 18-wheeler driver, it’ll certainly handle the road noise in the average car. An enhanced version of o… More >>

I purchased the VX1 blueParrott Roadwarior B250-XT as a Christmas gift for my grandson. It was recommended by one of my sons. Unfortunately this unit kept breaking up on him. He has since replaced it with another model. He talked to a salesperson at a truck stop and he was informed of a recall of this unit. I did not verify it.

While it was working this was a nice headset. Mine quit working after 10 days or so and it wouldn’t let me re-connect to my PC. Only solution from BlueParrot was send it back to Amazon, which I did.

After discovering that the top of the line Jawbone was perhaps the worst-designed earpiece since the dawn of creation, I did more research and landed on the Blue Parrot. Perfect, I thought, for my noisy jeep and middle-aged, mildly dysfunctional earbones.
It arrived in a timely way, and I plugged ‘em in over night just like the instructions told me to do. Come morning, I clicked them on.
Well, I clicked.
They did not come on. Matter of fact, they wouldn’t come on even when plugged into the charger.
Alas, the reason this parrot was blue was apparently terminal hypoxia; the bird was deathly cyanotic. I tried CPR–creative parrot rescuscitation–by calling their customer assistance line, thinking maybe, just maybe, there was some magic I missed. Well, first call what I missed was getting connected–they transferred me to nowhere. Called back, listened to ten minutes of their commercials with no rep coming on and no projected time for a rep to come on. Hung up, packaged product up, and shipped back to Amazon. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t.
All I know is my bird
Was DEAD. D-E-D, terminal, done gone, DOA, not even KIA. Dead. Bad bird. Bad, bad.

I use my headset for business calls. I like the headset and it has few advantages over other headsets. It comes with a cigarette charger and a wall charger, so one’s at the house and one’s in the car. That’s works very well for me. I’ve had very few complaints from others about hearing me. The one complaint i consistently get is is my voice “breaks up”. I also get that my voice is low but i have a history of that one. It’s not uncomfortable for extended wear.

I’m hearing impaired and have struggled with hearing on my smart phone with my hearing aids. I usually use the speaker but the voice delay makes it hard to have a flowing conversation which makes me hate talking on the phone. Well I just received my headset yesterday and it didn’t require many hours of charging because it worked even out of the box. I just tested it out to see what the sound quality was before charging it fully and was thrilled! I love how loud it is and comfortable. I admit it isn’t too glamorous to wear but if I can hear the other person on the other line it makes my life so much easier and I’d give up glamor for that! This is a great headset, and being bluetooth makes it even better!
