Airpods sound like ass to whoever you're talking to. I make people take them out if they're talking to me on them. The point of a quality headset isn't just *your* audio quality, but the quality of your audio on the other end as well. My bp 650 has noise cancelling in both directions. They can hear my Garmin, and higher pitched sounds, but no rumbling of trucks or any low end at all.
Really? I've been using a blueparrot S650xt for almost 3 years now and I love it. Excellent noise cancellation, no complaints. I did replace the ear pads with the cooling ones, not sure how much difference it made
Blueparrot s650-xt. Had it for going on 2 1/2 years now, and still works like a champ.
I got the blue parrot b650 xt And it’s complete garbage. Constantly dropping calls will just mute randomly dies at 34% no warning or anything. Absolute garbage. For a $300+ headset it’s only worth about 5 cents. So I returned it and got me a random $30 headset and it’s a huge improvement. Edit: removed the “?”
I've had them all. I did like the 450 the best. The 650 makes my ears sweat when using both earpieces, and I never liked using it with one earpiece. But I still use the 650, as it grew on me and I got used to it.
The 450 is the best in my opinion. I bought a 550 or 650 at Love's and returned it.
Immediately go to a large truck stop and buy a Blue Parrot headset. Anything from the XT-450 to the fancy 650 with the removable second ear cup. They are explicitly designed for drivers and people working in high noisy environments, it is *astonishing* in how well they work. I have been walking on the airport apron less than 30 feet away from a big twin turbo prop airplane with engines running, and nobody on the other side of the call can hear a thing. Noisy coffee shops? It makes it sound like you’re in a recording studio. Engine and wind and driving noise? Not even remotely perceptible. They are *amazing* and the single best investment I’ve ever made in terms of being able to take meetings anywhere.
