BlueParrott S450-XT Voice-Controlled Bluetooth Headset – Industry Leading Sound with Long Wireless Range, Extreme Comfort and Up to 24 Hours of Talk Time, Black, Stereo

Honestly these are super durable, my husband uses them every day and even though it's in his hard work, they work and they hold up very well, the battery the pillows and everything stays great.

Excellent stereo headset. I am a lawyer who telecommutes 100% of the time. Particularly during COVID, I noticed that I had better, less tiring and easier comprehension on phone/Zoom calls when I used my Apple earbuds - - because I was using both ears. As opposed to my then phone operator style single ear Blue Parrot headset. Our brains comprehend best when we hear with both ears!So I then bought these (only two ear version I could then find of Blue Parrot) and have been very pleased, in fact have bought three of them (for two locations and to replace one I broke).Bottom line is I hear extremely well with these, and adjacent noise (children) does not come through. I have recommended them highly to business acquaintances who have been similarly impressed.Comments: If you don’t flip the mike boom down towards your lips folks can’t hear you. That’s why they are called noise cancelling! They emphasize bass frequencies more than mid-range (which is where the intelligence in speech comes in). So people’s voices sound lower than they do in person - - Once dealing with a CSR with a very deep voice I had to switch back to my earbuds. Have not tried the app or tried to program them, work fine out of the box. Have not used them with music, in part due to the high bass, but that is not what I bought them for. Long battery life. Large and comfortable, size is why I bought a second one to use at our daughters (largish for travel, esp if you are traveling carry-on). Be gentle with the on-off switch, which is what I broke after three years.Highly recommend these.

I can talk on the phone with my window down on the freeway and everyone can still hear me just fine. Does that tell you anything? I can walk up to 75ft away from the phone and still talk. Phone in car I’m in the house and I can talk as far as my dining room. Does that tell you anything? I charge it up and ACTIVELY TALK for 8+ hours on a single charge… Does that tell you anything?What I’m saying is…..get it and you WILL NOT regret it. Mine isn’t even new I got an Amazon renewed one and it STILL is the best headset ever.ALSO…..you can stream the music from your phone through the headset and you get amazing sound with great bass.OH AND DID I MENTION……you can also change tracks with the buttons on the headset as well as volume, and the headset can be paired to both your phone and you laptop or tablet simultaneously.Yes friends …..THIS IS THE ONE !!!!Thanks for reading,Cheers

I had read some of the reviews and was getting somewhat excited. Double earpieces, Blue Parrot quality, it was expense (means better right? - wrong!), handled multiple phones, and I was thinking an excellent replacement for my broken Plantronics that served me for three years.One of the most significant "wants" was tying the piece to TWO separate cellphones. Tying them together was reasonably non-problematic, but using them after they were connected hs been (and still is) weeks later. First, and this drives me ABSOLUTELY NUTS, is that when I'm on a call on one phone, moving around my studio WITHIN 7 FEET, it continually tells me "PHONE 2 CONNECTED". Ok, fine, but if it's already connected, why are you losing connection if I move a few feet. Both connected devices are iPhone 11 Max, btw. So when I get the "connected" message, it soft mutes THE CALL I AM ON! to do it - oh, I can hear the message, but whatever the person on the other end of the phone is saying, I can't hear it! Second, when talking on one phone and answering a call on the other, it does that well - except the new call is muted so bad I can hardly hear it~ About 30 seconds later it will go to full volume, but that just means I've already missed the bulk of the call!I was SO ready to love these - now I hate them. Oh, tried to contact support as well - nothing. Thanks, guys/gals. If I weren't so busy, I would have returned them within the window - missed that - now I'm stuck with these POS headphones cause I can't afford NEW ones! DON'T BUY THIS HEADSET
