VXI BlueParrott Roadwarrior B250-XT Bluetooth Wireless Headset for Cell

Customer Reviews

Recently bought a Blueparrott 250XT and was worried about the battery, as others have had problems with that. I charged mine up the full time (and more) as they say in the instructions. I initially had problems, but they were my fault. I didnt read the instructions completely and when the light flashed red, I thought it was a battery problem. As it turns out, it indicated that it had disconnected from my cellphone's bluetooth system. I reconnected and it worked really well. My cell has disconnected a few times, but lately, it works well, I'm at a loss when I dont have it on. The noise cancelling works really well. The amplication on the earphone is great and compensates for my age-related hearing loss. A really great unit, feels good wearing it, not sure I'd wear it in the food store, but is it any worse than any of the earpiece units you see being used now? If I lost it would I buy another one? Yes...100% yes.

One of those great ideas that works for certain situations (i.e. Smaller head, different phone?)
With my iphone 4, this headset fades in and out and is about 1/2 as loud as my Plantronics 925 on the outgoing volume. The fading is very noticeable on for the listener and verified by apple iphone tech support. Her comment was that I sounded great on the phone and on the 925.
I had called BP tech support and he did say they having some issues with the iphone 4 so there was nothing he could do about it. He was a bit condescending and tried to tell me it was because of the type of bluetooth in the iphone. I checked it and sure looks to me to be the identical 2.1 version.
As it is now, I have people asking me if I am there (can't hear me), say my voice fluctuates in volume, is of poor quality.
The incoming volume is so loud I had to turn down to almost minimum. That is fine with me, however, the phones volume controls do nothing to adjust ether volume. The incoming has to be done on the headset and the outgoing sound is not adjustable in the headset or the phone.
The voice command works great as do the redial although none of the button functions are similar to my other headsets, it is just a learning curve thing and some dropped calls to get it down.
The battery seems excellent and I have not run it out yet. 15 hours may be possible! Seems to charge fast as well.
The fit is not that great for my 7-5/8 hat size. I cannot get the mike in front of my mouth and the over the head strap will not extend as far as I would like it to.
Remember that the mike is directional and if you take the foam off you can see one side has "talk" moulded into it and that is the side to have facing your mouth. It is a little louder with the foam off.
This is a large, heavy headset. Be forewarned. I am used to over the head style so it is not as much of an issue for me as it might be for someone coming from an "in you ear" style. Also, in the heat, my ear sweats under the cushion. I leave it off my head above 80F.
In short, I would call the manufacture and check for phone compatibility first, then make sure you buy through a company with a liberal return policy such as Amazon proper so you don't get stuck with a headset that not satisfy the basic needs of a bluetooth headset.
If you have an iphone 4, I would look elsewhere for a BT solution that actually works.
To the BlueParrot, please make the boom and headband longer and list phone compatibility in an obvious place on the website.

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 our popular B150 Wireless headset for Bluetooth enabled cellular phones and computers now with increased talk time: 10+ hours! Professional grade wireless Bluetooth headset for cellular phones and computers. Simply pair the headset to your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone or computer and you'll be handsfree and wirefree! The "gooseneck" microphone boom stays in place to ensure precise positioning. The concave ear cushion helps block out the sounds around you so you can hear your caller better. You also get an optional leatherette ear cushion, if you prefer that style. Say goodbye to wobbly over the-ear headsets! The over-the-head styling is stable, lightweight and comfortable. The ear cushion is slightly cupped for a better fit and the adjustable headband won't slip out of place. You'll get 16+ hours of talk time out of a full charge. Up to 150 hours standby time. Volume, mute, call answer/end buttons on headset. Includes both Auto (DC) and AC charging cords. 128-bit secure digital encryption for privacy.
