the mic, ANC and hear through are amazing. however, my headset keeps hanging up on calls and the voice command to answer calls are annoying. I'll be returning mine which is a bummer, had so much potential.
This shh is trash! Always hangs up on calls and when calling someone it just automatically turns off for no reason always having to hold power button and now my right side (dual sides) not working smh
I really wanna buy this, but a lot of people have bad reviews after using it for so long saying it drops calls and it dies out quickly. Has anybody else has these issues?
I have this headset and it’s an absolute piece of trash. Every once in awhile, the person on the other end will be almost inaudible, and there are crackles and pops, and static. This is the second 650 that’s done this. When I purchased it, I had the same issue, so I returned it thinking that it was that particular unit, and got a different one. That one worked for about a month before the same issues came up. Blueparrott was no help. I just dealt with it for the past year. Now I’m back to the 450 and a lot happier.
I had this one and I could hear the call i ended up getting aftershock but with thoes i need ear plugs which now im reconcidering the 650 again .. I dont like them but it has its perks i just wish it had more to offee for the price and hype ..
You talk a lot about trucks, yet no test by a heavily jaking diesel engine. No test by a diesel engine hood open fan locked at 900 rmp. Truckers truck brother, we do not blend smoothies at least not as often as we use our Jake
Stay away from the S650. I’m going back to the 450. I never had issues with it. The 650 hangs up more than it lets you talk. 3 days old and I’ve dropped more calls than I ever have in yrs of owning 350’s and 450’s. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I have the S450XT and everyone tells me they hear nothing in the background when I'm driving. Can also stand next to a running semi engine and get the same.
Same here. I also have the 450 and everyone is always baffled when I tell them I’m driving lol. Sometimes I’ll be around noise so loud I can barely hear who I’m talking to, but all the while they hear nothing.
I still have the S450xt and it's been the best, tire shop removing lug nut with air gun while having phone conversation and they didn't know it. People always compliment my music too because it's loud. Only negative is it's not sturdy falls off head too easily and Bluetooth connection drops needs more distance. I recently bought Rands Skull version and it's awesome except I don't like the design for the mic, I like Blueparrot mic design better because it hides underneath headset and Rands is on top it's frustrating everytime you put on a jacket or anything the stupid mic design on Rands is the only negative.
I have the B450-XT which I like except for one thing. It’s not made for big heads! I admit I have a kind of big head but I see truckers with even bigger heads so how in the world are they using these without them not giving you headaches? Mine drive me crazy with that. I think blue parrot needs to consider someway to make the adjustable for much larger heads. Then they do now.
@@M.L.Knotts ok, I guess I’m nuts then and just imagined the whole thing LOL. I do wear a hat/ball cap though while wearing these. Like most truckers do to help with the sun.
Who knows, does any handsfree devices can synchronize with mobile apps like WhatsApp or messenger ? Just curious is any handsfree options to listen and recording voice messages without touching the phone?
Super fail on our part will improve for future videos. There is a Push to talk functionality they have built into the BlueParrott app that can intercom in a way as long as you have internet. Also other apps you may use like teams or others that support PTT could be used
Question I have for all is…. Does this headset play back the background noise through the speakers? Or do you hear exactly what the person on the other end hears? Issue I have with my current headset it I can’t hear conversations because the headphones are playing back all the external sounds which is typically very lounge engine sounds. Thanks for your responses
Being that it covers both ears it will help reduce the noise around you but won't fully block out the noise. Another headset to consider is the opencomm 2 UC which customers in your same scenario wear earplugs while wearing the headset and it seems to work well. headsetadvisor.com/products/shokz-opencomm2-stereo-bone-conduction-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=feb8570cd&_ss=r&variant=43680631488727

@@omoyeleR OH wow. I'm surprised. I thought because of the price point of the Garmin it was going to have better mic and better audio.. I'm sure the audio is probably better on the Gamin tho. At leas it goes over your ear so it's probably more comfortable
@@nelly112nels yeah it is a lot more comfortable. But I’m only going on with other ppl saying when talking to me about the mics. People say they hear me way better on the 650

This headset is garbage don't buy. Just spent 250 dollars on s650. Unit turns off every 2 min even after Dec 2022 update. This is a known issue after reading reviews yet blue parrot keeps selling faulty junk for 250 dollars! Shame on blue parrot! Cleardryve is the same way! All these trucking headset companies need to do better. A bigger names company is going to find the nitch that you guys are missing with quality and take you all out of the game.

@@z3phyrdok the 350 is a hard one to beat
I bought this, mic is great however I have a really hard time listening to ppl on phone calls, looking for a louder one now.
Did you find a louder one?
It's good with calls but it has issues switching media audios every time not sometimes I mean every single time
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, Antonio.
Exactly the problem I'm having with my blue parrot. I'm fed up with it that's why I'm in yt looking at comparisons
I love the video, I had the first generation when I first started trucking 20 years ago, it's nice to hear the difference thank you
Excellent review. Particularly liked the noise suppression demo! Well done
Thank you!!

Yep, I thought it was just me. When I hit the button to answer a call, it powers the whole unit off.
I really wanna buy this, but a lot of people have bad reviews after using it for so long saying it drops calls and it dies out quickly. Has anybody else has these issues?
Drops calls 2 out of 10 times
Yes. It’s trash. Don’t buy it.
Works fine with my PC also however on phone calls hearing the caller is hard because it is so low volume with mobile phone.
Hmm that's strange, have you tried updating the headset?
I have the same problem...update doesn't help😢😢😢😢

Great review! Can you do a comparison video between the Rand McNally Cleardryve 220 and the Blue parrot S650XT please?
Great video idea! We'll add that to our video list.
Can you review Garmin Dezl 200?

What's a good headset to send voice messages through Facebook messenger or WhatsApp? The blue parrot sucks for that.
Can we use as an intercom, it’s funny, 0 mention of intercom…

Don't buy the Rand McNally. They used cheap plastic to connect the earpiece to the headband and they break under regular usage.
Did you buy BlueParrott?

I did as a replacement to the Rand McFeces
mine keeps disconnecting from spotify, what gives????

Lol the 650 is 140 cheaper
Let us take a look 😁
@@gentledad8455 but the Garmin looks way nicer.

Did you try to unpair the headset and forget the device and re pair it? Also make sure the firmware is fully up to date.
