Testimonials
“Finally, a product that works as advertised! I drive a truck and have attempted to use various other Bluetooth® products and NONE of them have even come close to working for me. A friend of mine who also drives a truck recommended the VXi BlueParrott B250-XT. What sold me was this. When I was talking to him, I thought he was sitting still somewhere. When he told me he had to start shifting down for a hill he was climbing, I was so amazed! I had no idea he was in his cab, driving. I immediately purchased the B250-XT. It works wonderfully. I can talk to my wife, my boss, other drivers or whoever calls and everything is as clear as can be. If I don’t tell someone that I am driving, they never know. Thank you for putting such a quality product out there. Everyone else is playing catch up to you. Thanks again.” Scott M, Longview, WA
"While the design of the BlueParrott® B250-XT is slightly more bulky than other headsets, this minor disadvantage is more than offset with the improved sound quality. I conduct lengthy webinars from my mobile phone as well as participate extensively in third party conference calls connected via VoIP on my laptop. My friends who were helping me evaluate my presentations by listening in, could not tell that I was using a Bluetooth® headset. There was no tinny pitch in my voice. No voice from a tunnel. Zero background noise. I've had absolutely no issues with the B250-XT. It's a great quality product." Michael L, Charleston, SC, Sr. Contact Center Consultant
“I drive a tracker trailer and have a hearing aid. I’ve tried the Cobra and some other headsets and nothing worked for me. Then I tried the BlueParrott B250-XT and there is no comparison to those other headsets. I loved it so much I just bought a second one!” Bob B, Mohawk, NY
“I work in POP rooms which have a lot of compressors and are extremely loud from all the blowers. I called the office with my report from inside the POP and my co-worker said he could hear me clear as day. I couldn’t believe it. This is the first headset that was able to handle all that background noise.” Kevin, Rochester, NH
”Just wanted to call and tell you how very pleased I am with my BlueParrott headset. It is well worth the investment. My wife says that she can’t tell the difference between talking to me on my phone and using my BlueParrott 250-XT headset with the phone. I tell all my co-workers to get one – they are fantastic! Thank you so much for making such a great product.” Kipp W, Church Hill, TN
“Thank you. Thank you for making something where we can actually hear when we drive. Keep it up. We appreciate it.” Paul H
“I work for a major Canadian transportation company and I just love your BlueParrott headset. It’s the best machine we ever had our hands on. The charge lasts a good long time and the noise canceling is great. I can roll down my window and the person I’m talking to can hear me great. I am hard of hearing and I still keep the volume down 1/3rd of the way. About 60-70 of us are using them right now and as more learn how nice they work, I know more will want them. Thanks so much for your great headset. It’s the best one out there.” Donny B, Vancouver, Canada
“I’m a 60 year old trucker who’s been driving for over 37 years. I’m on the road about 3 weeks every month. Recently, my company mandated that we had to go hands-free while on our cell phone. I talked to a lot of the guys and they said that I had to go with the BlueParrott headset so I bought the B250-XT. I absolutely love it! I’m not high tech at all but I was able to set it up myself – and if I can do it, anyone can do it. It’s absolutely great and has made my life so much better. The sound is fantastic and really cuts out all that background noise. Thanks so much for making such a great product.” Randy G, Angleton, TX
“I drive a big rig and won’t drive anywhere without my VXi BlueParrott headset. My girlfriend says she can hear me better in my cab driving with the windows down, than on my cell phone in the office.” Robert L, Ottawa Lake, MI
“You have great customer service! I dropped my B250-XT in a batch of diesel fuel. I called because it was still under warranty and didn’t know if VXi could fix it. You took it back and sent me a brand new one within 48 hours.” Michael P, Somerset Center, MI
“Sirius Radio’s Road Dog ran a contest for best headset and the BlueParrott won hands down as the favorite among truck drivers. When truckers call into the show, you can always tell who’s using a BlueParrott headset. The sound quality is not to be matched.” Whitney S, Lincoln, NE
“People don’t even know I’m working in a compressor room when I’m wearing my B250-XT. I can’t tell you how often I’ve recommended the BlueParrott to my friends. I should get a commission!” Thomas G, Maricopa, AZ
“I love the flexible boom, how you can wear it on either ear, the volume control… It doesn’t even sound like you’re in a rig!” Chris B, Fontana, CA
“An 18-wheeler’s engine is loud, but the BlueParrott headset’s noise cancellation is so good that people say I sound like I’m sitting in my living room when I’m actually driving down the road. I’ve been telling everyone about your headset.” - Haroon K, Marysville, CA
"We found the BlueParrott Xpressway to be unquestionably the best Bluetooth microphone on the market and the only wireless solution we can recommend for “on the go” mobile notebook and tablet computer users. Besides being wireless, the Xpressway is less expensive than many high-end wired headsets making this choice a, pardon the pun, “KnowBrainer”."

"I was driving my truck on the highway going about 65 mph when my BlueParrott headset fell out of the window. I exited the highway and made my way back to retrieve the headset. Not only was the headset in one piece but it continued to work perfectly! An 18-wheeler’s engine is loud, but the BlueParrott headset’s noise cancellation is so good that people say I sound like I’m sitting in my living room when I’m actually driving down the road. I’ve been telling everyone about your headset."

My fiancée is a truck driver and this has been the best product that we have bought yet. Great for noisy environments. - Jada Burgoyne, Carmel, ME
Excellent product! I am an OTR Driver and it cuts out so much background noise. You have set the bar for others to follow." – K. Allen, Greenville, SC
This is my 3rd Bluetooth headset and the ONLY ONE that I'm satisfied with. I drive a big rig. This is not an environment where many headsets are usable due to high levels of background noise. My VXI BlueParrott Headset effectively handles the background noise here. I've had people comment that I seemed to be in a quiet place when I was climbing a grade a full power. I'm very happy with this product. - Richard Otten, Sacramento, CA
I wore mine while riding my motorcycle...
I have a full windshield on my motorcycle. I can ride my motorcycle with
the headset ON and it stays in place. I can answer my phone while riding
at any speed and hear the person on the other end perfectly. They can
hear me just fine up to 30 mph. At 35mph and beyond the wind noise on
the other persons side is too annoying to continue the conversation but
they can still hear me. Nobody ever knew I was on my motorcycle. No
engine or traffic noise EVER came through my microphone to the other
parties! That is freaking amazing. Even when I first started my bike up
with the choke on my boyfriend on his cell never knew I started it up.
... Blue Parrott proved itself to be the
best headset EVER! K. Nix
My husband has a small trucking company and, from time to time, he covers a load for a driver. When he's behind the wheel of a semi, conversations are difficult for both of us because we can't hear each other over the road & engine noise. I searched the Internet for a "trucker-recommended" headset, hoping to find a solution. The top 3 recommendations were for the BlueParrott, so I took a chance and ordered one.
This headset is terrific! My husband tested it while standing a few feet from a mechanic who was grinding steel with a hand-held grinder. The headset turned an unbearably loud sound into a very faint, soft, sound that wouldn't have been noticeable if I hadn't been listening for it. I even had to ask him to lower his voice because, instinctively, he was shouting to be heard over the sound of the grinder. Speaking in a normal tone, his voice came through the headset very clearly. I spoke in a normal tone, and he heard me clearly through the headset, even with the grinder right next to him. Needless to say, we are both impressed. I've posted your product information in the drivers' lobby with a recommendation for the drivers to check it out if they're tired the kind of call quality they're getting over the headsets they currently use. Thank you for your time and this great product. - Sherry S., Greenwood, IN

FINALLY! A Blue Tooth That Works!!!, July 9, 2008
I drive a diesel truck to jobs sites then grind metal with various grinding machines. This B 250 BlueParrott works flawlessly. No one knows I am using a blue tooth nor can they hear the back groung noise! I have tried 2 different Motorolas including the H12, and 2 different Jawbones. I have talked to other blue tooth users and I get the same opinion: They are just okay. I have to talk to important clients all day to maintain business dealings; with all other blue tooths I used, I had to stop what I was doing to talk, and 70% of the time I had to switch over to the phone because of bad sound quality. With this B 250 the sound quality is as good as when I am on a land line! Don't believe me, just try one! I couldn't believe it either. After I started using this blue tooth I quickly got tired of asking people how I sounded because the answer was always the same, perfect (even with alot of back ground noise).
I own an LG 8600 phone and the voice commands work flawlessly also. I can go over two days of constant phone calls without a charge which is nice. I have walk approx. 30 feet from my phone during a call without any distortion (have not tested the claimed 66' yet; what more do you want).
I just hope this product lasts a long time. Even if doesn't I'll buy another because I have to have a blue tooth that actually works.
Great if you drive a truck, October 31, 2008

I had a jawbone prior to this and it had a lot of background noise. This is by far the best bluetooth around, my wife use to have a hard time hearing me when I was diving in my truck, but the first time I called her using the blueparrot she thought I was still in the office on the land line. Everyone I talk to comments about how clear I sound.
I LOVE THIS HEADSET !!!!, November 30, 2008

I love this headset, couldn't live without it. I had the B150 before this one and I loved it too. It stopped charging after a year or so, but I sent it back and the company replaced it, FREE. I bought this one to use while I was waiting for the replacement. I love it. It stays in place no matter what I'm doing (I work in construction). I would never go back to those ear-hanging bluetooths. They always irritated my ear after a while and always fell off while I was working. BONUS - people don't think you're talking to yourself when you use it. I highly recommend it. It is very comfortable. I can wear it around my neck when I'm not using it. I love it (did I say that already?)

Great product for a great price; love the fact the accessories (ac charger, auto charger, etc) also included with this product. Fast shipping. Cuts out background noise and gives complete hands-free use of phone. It's the only bluetooth headset my husband has liked ( and we have tried several!) |
Great product, December 5, 2008
I purchased the BlueParrott B250 after trying a BlueAnt Z9i. My friends say there is no comparison. The BlueParrott B250 wins in a landslide. It is true that no one thinks you are using a headset. I drive a loud tractor trailer for UPS and the sound quality is stunning. It is not for wearing while walking around or being at the gym. It is a tad bit heavy, but worth every penny. |
