BlueParrott Vxi BlueParrott B450-XT - Headset

These are ok, not the best. The voice answer command doesn’t always work. Very limited on what you can do with commands. I broke my nose sunglasses so I got this instead off buying another pair. It’s quite a step down in comparison. You have to hold the power button for about 10 seconds to turn on/off vs just touching the . In order to change songs you have pull your phone out of your pocket when listening to music vs clicking a button or commanding Siri or google . The microphone picks up everything which I guess is good, I work in a warehouse area and the person on the other end of the phone can hear everything I can going on in the background. The person on phone can hear you well tho so that’s good. Range is great I can listen to music and get calls from a huge ... MoreThese are ok, not the best.

Only thing is when far away it doesn’t always answer the phone when commanded so it kinda defeats the point. It is comfortable for over the ear headset. It’s possible I just s my old set up but these will do for now I guess

I LOVE my BlueParrott!! This is the 2nd one I have owned and I won't ever buy another headset brand! Yes, it's large and you look like you could land a helicopter when you've got it on, BUT... what is important to you when it comes to headsets? I am on the phone anywhere from about 4hrs to 8hrs/day, 6 days a week. I wear it in the office, in the car, in the store (ANY store), at the house, pretty much everywhere except while I'm sleeping. The noise cancelling in this headset is paramount! I feel like I could be riding a motorcycle down the road with no helmet on and the person on the other end of the phone thinks I'm sitting at my desk!! Awesome! Not to mention, I HAVEN'T LOST EITHER HEADSET YET!!! The small ones that fit inside your ear are great (or I thought so ... MoreI LOVE my BlueParrott!!

Not to mention, I HAVEN'T LOST EITHER HEADSET YET!!! The small ones that fit inside your ear are great (or I thought so until I invested in one of these), but I was buying a replacement about every 3 months because I would lose it or drop it in liquid or it would stop charging, etc. At that point, I'm WELL OVER the cost of a BlueParrott in a year! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to EVERYONE!

Received my Blueparrott B450-XT bluetooth headset a week ago and have been putting it through it's paces over the last few days. Inside the box comes the headset, and extra ear cuff and mic cuff, USB-C charging cable along with a car charging adapter and the usual user manual documentation.Before turning on the headset, I tested out the feel of the headset, which is pretty good solid. The headband part of the headset does extend out some for those with larger heads or for comfortability. Though it looks as though as it's made to be worn primarily on the right side, the mic does swivel around to the other side which allows the user to use it on their left side as well. On the ear cuff side, are 4 buttons on the side: Blueparrott Button, Power Button, and separate ... MoreReceived my Blueparrott B450-XT bluetooth headset a week ago and have been putting it through it's paces over the last few days.

Though it looks as though as it's made to be worn primarily on the right side, the mic does swivel around to the other side which allows the user to use it on their left side as well. On the ear cuff side, are 4 buttons on the side: Blueparrott Button, Power Button, and separate Volume +/- Buttons. The bluepparrott button allows for configurations to your liking via the app, or the downloaded software (which by the way was not listed in the documentation). One of my favorite features is when an incoming call comes in, you can simply say "answer," and it will answer the call for you. To power up the headset, simply hold the power button for a few seconds and wait for the power button to flash blue. This is in the pairing mode. At this point you can connect it via your mobile device, phone/tablet, or computer or TV, etc. In my testing I found the sound and quality of the headset while on calls to be loud and crystal clear. However, while listening to music, the sound was a lot softer and almost muffled.The documentation included in the packaging, specifically the manual seemed to be very underwhelming with information. Basically, I had to figure things out on my own (and with the help of the Blueparrott companion app). The app seemed to be somewhat useless in my opinion. According to the back of the packaging, it says you can update the headset's firmware via the app. Well after downloading the app, I found that to be not true. The app itself seems to be still in the dark ages in regards to design quality on the iOS App Store. And again there was no feature that I could find within the app's menu to update the firmware. I did however, just scrolling through the first few user reviews on the app store, in which a user instructed everyone to go to https://www.blueparrott.com/software/blueparrott-updater to download the software to update the firmware for the headset. Tried this on my Mac which is up to date and the firmware would not work. Switched over the my Windows PC and it downloaded and installed like a charm. Connected the USB-C cable to the headset and opened up the software and it downloaded and installed the firmware from 1.03 to 1.05.Overall, I like the headset, however, the user documentation could use some updating as well as the Blueparrott companion app. The app again seems very outdated with its design and according to the box packaging the app should allow for firmware updates which I was unable to find. On a positive note, I have used this headset over the last few days and I've not had to charge it yet.
