BlueParrott - S650-XT 2-in-1 Convertible Wireless Bluetooth Headset with 96% Noise-Cancelling Microphone and Active Noise Cancellation - Black

I am hearing impaired and I love them! They are very comfortable, the noise reduction is awesome, Bluetooth works great, on a cord they work great. I can stand next to my generator without any issues hearing or them hearing me. I dispatch so I use it everyday.

Great sound and noise cancellation but it definitely has some issues where it says it's connected but does nothing. If I hit volume up on the side then my phone will show the movements on the screen. Seems to only happen after I disconnect and reconnect

Absolutely love this due to the noise reduction since I work on a noisy environment makes this blue parrot headphones S650XT a must for my ears highly recommended if you wanted to save your audition.

Very comfortable, I hear other drives clearly and they hear me as well. This is much more comfortable & feels more robust than the other model

The BlueParrott S650-XT wireless Headset is a unique on-ear headphones with a solid quality feel, good sound quality, and incredible Active Noise Cancelling. Setup The setup was okay, but could have been a little easier. I downloaded the BlueParrott App onto my iPhone. The App has a Get Started link which steps through registration then ends on a Walkie Talkie screen. It did not prompt me for Bluetooth pairing. I went to the manual and figured out how to pair by holding the power button for six seconds. I selected the Setup section in the App and discovered the steps for pairing. The App has an Update Firmware feature which I used for updating the headset. The update took around five minutes and a progress bar on the App showed the status. Headset The headset has a nice quality feel to it. It is a little bit heavier than I expected. While the documentation promotes usage for phone and music while on the road, I prefer using it at my desk for phone calls, music, and computer use. A unique feature is the ability to remove one of the earcups. The removal and re-attaching is via two buttons on the side of the earcup and a sturdy connector. The ability to rotate the microphone is great for using a single earcup on either side of my head. The primary earcup has four buttons on the outer face, a button on the one side, and two buttons on the side. The top button is a programmable BlueParrott button. The shapes and textures of the buttons make it easy to feel and select. The earcups are comfortable with a leather like feel. Using It is easy to pair the headset via Bluetooth by holding the power button in for six seconds, until you hear "Pair mode". The headset can be paired with two different devices. I paired it with my iPhone and with my desktop. However, I ran into issues with phone calls when playing music from the desktop. I have sent an inquiry to tech support. For the time being, I'll leave it paired with my iPhone and play music from there. I configured the BlueParrott button with the App for enabling voice commands. In this mode, by saying "Hello BlueParrott", the headset is ready for voice commands. Some of the commands I've mastered are "Pair Mode" and "Check Battery". I've yet to get it to recognize "What can I say?" The headset is comfortable to wear. With the weight and earcup pressure, I found that my max duration is about 4 hours before giving my ears a break. Sound Quality The real power of this headset is in the Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). I am amazed at how much external nose is reduced when it is on. If the neighbor is mowing their lawn, the ANC completely cuts it out. The HearThrough mode allows external sounds to be passed through the mic. This actually enhances the level of the sound. Sound quality for phone calls is clear and crisp. No issues with the quality have been detected by others on the phone. Music quality is impressive. The frequency response is 20Hz - 20000Hz. My taste includes classical, jazz, rock, pop, and I have been quite happy with the performance in all these genres.

If the documentation did not claim two simultaneous Bluetooth connections, I would have given these 5 stars for a single Bluetooth connection. However, I spent several hours trying to get the dual connections to work and finally reached out to technical support. Aside from that issue, I highly recommend these headphones for anyone exposed to a lot of external background noise.
