Choosing the right headset for life over- the-road can feel overwhelming when so many options present themselves to be the best. You’ve likely heard it before: pick a comfortable headset with noise-cancellation, IP54-rated protection, long range, and a long charge. But when you’re faced with so many options, you may not know what those terms mean, or what’s considered a “good” battery life or wireless range.
For truck drivers and travelers, a reliable Bluetooth headset isn’t just a convenience; it’s an essential tool for safe and productive driving.
When you’re trucking for 10 hours a day, you’ll benefit greatly from a headset that keeps your calls crystal clear. The BlueParrott M500-XT delivers newly improved call quality in a compact, discreet design with a dual intelligent noise-cancelling microphone system blocking out 93% of road, vehicle, and wind noise. Outperforming the M300’s 80%, it leads the way as the top compact headset in its class among all brands.
With up to 11 hours of talk time and 60 hours of standby time, you’ll stay connected longer. The extended battery life also has you covered for streaming your favorite tunes, audiobooks, or GPS navigation. A quick tywo-hour charge is all it takes to get your headset back to full charge, so you’re powered up again after your break.
Since you’re wearing a headset so often, you’ll want it to be lightweight and headache-free. The M500-XT weighs less than one ounce and stays secure while driving all day or stepping out of your vehicle. Its slim, flexible design lets you wear it comfortably on either ear.
A common problem drivers face is wireless range. Many headsets will start to break up during a call when you step away from your cab or walk to the back of a trailer. The M500-XT is engineered to maintain peak productivity with a reliable connection up to 300ft/100m from a paired Bluetooth device. Many drivers rely on Push-To-Talk to stay connected with dispatchers, fleets, or fellow drivers. The customizable BlueParrott Button comes in handy for this. You can program it for instant access to popular Push-To-Talk applications, saving you from fumbling with your phone while on the road. It also doubles as a quick mute option. Simply lift the boom arm or set the BlueParrott Button to the mute option.
Drivers are hard on their gear. You’re constantly dealing with bad weather conditions, getting in and out of your cab, handling freight, and more. The M500-XT is built tough, with IP54-rated protection against dust and water, making it durable inside your cab and out.
