    Reliable sound in a noisy world with no frills

    My job has daily conference calls. Whenever I work from home, I participate sitting in my backyard. I’m also on the road a lot and I take those calls from my cell phone. The BlueParrott B550-XT has quickly become my favorite headset while working at home or on the road. Set-up was quick and easy; download the app and connect it via Bluetooth. The connection was established with no hassles and, over time, has proven to be reliable which is a plus since I use it exclusively for work. First thing you notice is its lightweight which at first made me think it was a flimsy and fragile headset, but a couple falls later made me appreciate its toughness. It is well built and sturdy. The headband is lightly padded and adjustable to accommodate many different head sizes; adjusting to a comfortable fit to my head took practically no time or effort. It is also comfortable to wear for long periods of time. It can be worn on either ear as the microphone rotates in either direction. The cushioned ear cup rests lightly on your ear so as to avoid ear fatigue. The flexible microphone boom feels solid and once ideally positioned it won’t move a single millimeter. Overall, this BlueParrott Headset performed real well. The feature that impressed me the most was the noise cancellation and its ability to filter the outside noise. While on the road or working from home in my backyard, the noise can get a bit loud, and activating the noise cancellation feature with my voice made a world of difference. And at the end of the line, those listening had positive feedback about the clarity of my voice and the background noise. This headset comes with a BlueParrott button that is customizable from the app. My favorite function for this button is voice command. Although limited, those commands are responsive and work after the first prompt. The app is simple and easy to use with a logical user interface. The only issue I encountered but not related specifically to the app was the impossibility to open the user manual option. The battery life has been great. I’ve used it for four consecutive days for 40 to 50 minutes a day and the charge is barely under 50%. I also like the fact that I’m able to connect it to my phone and tablet at the same time and switch in between. Overall, the BlueParrott B550-XT headset is comfortable, tough and reliable with great connectivity. Look wise, it is simple and a bit underwhelming but it delivers great performance where it counts. It has become my go-to headset for work. Two thumbs up.

    Great Headset for Work!

    – OVERVIEW– The BlueParrot B550-XT is an over-the-ear noise-cancelling headset offered by BlueParrot. It provides a fully hands-free experience (with BlueParrot app) and, according to BlueParrot, blocks out 96% of background noise. It is IPS4-rated for dust and moisture protection. It comes with a 12V car charger adapter, a micro-USB cable and extra foam-type ear cup if you want to switch out the pre-installed leather ear cup. – LOOK/FEEL – The B550-XT looks official as far as work and productivity is concerned. It is a headset, afterall with a boom-mic. Clearly something to use in the office or while you’re driving in your car. There are only 4 buttons on the headset: On/Off, volume up, volume down and the customizable BlueParrot button. The headband is adjustable in one section of the headband if you need more headband. The mic boom is also adjustable….AND you can completely rotate the boom to change the orientation of your B550-XT; in other words, you can use the ear cup on your right or left ear, and the mic boom can be easily moved to orient itself in front of your face. “blueparrot” is clearly seen on the main unit, letting folks know you’re packing one the industries-leading noise cancelling products out there – SETUP – Setting up the B550-XT is very, very easy. Upon turning it on, the unit will already be in pairing mode. Simply navigate to your bluetooth settings on your phone and you’ll see it as a device ready for pairing. This should feel familiar as most bluetooth devices are paired this way. Once paired, you’re ready to use the headset. Setup can be further done using the BlueParrot app, where you can pretty much customize the use of the BlueParrot button. By default, it is used as a mute/unmute button, which I feel a vast majority of folks who work in industry and join conference calls will love using. – USAGE – If you decide to omit the use of the BlueParrot app right off the bat, I’d like to explain how simple it is to use. To answer or end a call, simply press the power button once; press again once to hang up. If you don’t want to take a call, press and hold the power button and you’ll hear two beeps acknowledging the rejection of the call. Then there’s volume up and down; volume up has a “+” nub so you can feel for it when you reach to change the volume, and you’ll immediately know volume down is right below it. Like mentioned above, the BlueParrot button defaults as a mute/unmute button, and will remain as this function during any call. But through the BlueParrot app, you can do the following customization the BlueParrot button when not currently in a call: Speed dial a specific number Launch a PTT app Launch a voice command Announce battery status, and Multifunction Button (MFB) for second paired device I found that choosing Voice Command or MFB were the only options that allowed me to answer phone calls with my voice. I am able to say “answer” or “ignore” to accept or reject a call. This is possibly most useful while operating a motor vehicle. In the office setting, a simple reach for the power button will work just fine. – PERFORMANCE – Sound quality is both great for both myself and those that are on the line. The B550-XT is very good at removing ambient noise; think about that drive to work and the road noise it comes with. My colleagues could not really tell I was on the road. Wearing the headset for long periods of time did not bother me either. It does fit comfortably snug around your head, which is a good thing because you don’t want this thing slipping off from the slightest of movements. Overall, I’m very impressed with the headset. – GOTCHAS – As I mentioned a couple of times above, many of us love to have a dedicated mute/unmute button during calls with work. What I don’t like about the mute button here is that it only provides a beep acknowledging that the mute button has been pressed; press it again and it plays the exact same beep. So really, you don’t know if you’re muted until you hear the subsequent beeps that only come when truly muted. But before you know it, you might have said something inadvertently. Nothing worse than a hot mic at the worst of times. So I wish it would verbally acknowledge that I am either muted or unmuted. That would make this headset close to perfect. But alas, a star comes off for this. – CONCLUSION – Again, a great headset from BlueParrot that I will use during my calls that I have to take while I'm on the road. That is my use-case for this headset. And rightfully so; it comes with a 12V car socket adapter to provide power when needed. It doesn’t come with a storage case as I intend to leave it in my car. Overall, I recommend it.

    Truckers Are Right About These

    Blueparrott is really the gold standard of trucking bluetooth headsets. I can't tell you how many times that II've pulled up to a truck stop or freight yard and come across a driver in the middle of a conversation while standing right next to their running diesel engine. Heck, I've done it enough times. Now that Ive got these B550-XT bluetooth, it just makes so much sense as to why they tuck drivers love this brand so much. Out of the box, these B550-XT bluetooth come with the ear piece, a long charging cable( That thing will need to be replaced a few time over the headset's lifetime.), but what you don't see, is the added automotive charging adapter. Yes. this thing cames with a charging brick in the box. And it comes with an extra mic sleeve(Spit guard) and an optional foam ear cushion, if you're not feeling the leatherette cushion that is pre-installed. The sound quality for a single ear bluetooth, is very impressive. I mean, i not goig to be listening to my favorite music through them, but listening to audio books isn't out of the question. Again, the noise cancelation is crazy that I can be talking right next to my running truck engine and my friends and customers can hear me, not the truck. That's great. I'm a stereo sound kinda guy, but this makes sense, just to know I can stay aware of my surroundings while on an active call. Then there's the fact that I almost left my phone at a stop because the range is so darned good. 300 feet/100 meters. I drove off and reached to set my next coordinates and didn't have my phone. Be aware people. It's comfortable but I recommend wearing hats while using this. It's for comfort and fashion, in my opinion. Really good headset, right here, y'all.
