BlueParrot M300-XT Bluetooth Headset with All Day Battery, Advanced Noise Cancellation

I’ve worked for a few months on this report, taking care to use the new BlueParrott M300-XT in every situation possible, comparing it to others in my repertoire. I didn’t want to overlook anything in this review. As followers may have surmised, I have been on a quest to find what is the best headset for daily on-the-go use FOR ME, with one purpose in mind. What is the best headset for all day…

Es ist schon ein paar Jahre her, dass ich ein Headset der US-Marke BlueParrott testen durfte. Zuletzt habe ich zur IAA 2016 drei Geräte zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen. Im März wurde das M300-XT vorgestellt. Ein Headset, welches nach der Schutzart IP 54 vor Staub und Spritzwasser geschützt ist. Habe ich so auch noch nicht gesehen oder gehabt. Daher fühle ich mich geehrt, dass ich es testen durfte. Was mir persönlich wichtig ist

So ein Headset muss bei mir in vielen Bereichen einsetzbar sein. Gerade bei meiner jetzigen Tätigkeit im Langholztransport ist es wichtig, das ein Headset dafür sorgt, das ich besser zu verstehen bin, wie meine Umgebung und nicht umgekehrt. Dies hatte ich schon bei den Headsets, die ich 2016 getestet habe und jetzt mit dem M300-XT ist ein weiteres Headset auf dem Markt, was diese Anforderungen erfüllt. Doch, nicht nur das.     Es wird Technisch Reden wir mal über die technischen Details dieses Headsets:   - 80 Prozent Geräuschunterdrückung dank 2-Mikrofon-Technologie - Bis zu 14 Stunden Gesprächszeit mit USB-C Lademöglichkeit - Schnurlose Reichweite von bis zu 100 Metern für größtmögliche Bewegungsfreiheit und Flexibilität - Nach Schutzart IP54 gegen Staub und Wasser geschützt - Individuell programmierbarer BlueParrott Button für Kurzwahl, Stummschaltung oder Push-to-Talk Funktion Gut, schwimmen gehen würde ich damit jetzt nicht, mache ich auch mit meinem Handy nicht, obwohl das nach Schutzart IP68 geschützt ist, aber das Headset bedient genau die Ansprüche, die ich an ein solches Gerät in meinem Job stelle. Weiteres Zubehör

In meinem Artikel von 2016 hatte ich es bereits geschrieben, dass es eine App g

ibt, die man auf sein Smartphone. Diese bietet neben Gespräche über das Internet zu führen, auch die Option, sich SMS Nachrichten vorlesen zu lassen. Ich hatte vor 5 Jahren schon bemängelt, dass man auch die anderen Messenger Dienste wie WhatsApp oder Telegramm integrieren sollte, was gerade für die beliebten Sprachnachrichten besonders interessant wäre, auch im Hinblick auf die Verkehrssicherheit. Doch das scheint bislang in der Entwicklungsabteilung von GN / BlueParrott nicht angekommen zu sein. Eine Möglichkeit das Headset auf den aktuellen Stand zu halten, besteht zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht. Der Preis und das Fazit Ja, logischerweise will man auch wissen, was kostet das Gerät? Nun, wie auch die Headsets aus dem anderen Test, ist auch das M300-XT nicht gerade billig und auch nicht überall erhältlich. Es hat einen UVP von 99 € und ist derzeit nur auf der Webseite von BlueParrott vorbestellbar, allerdings aktuell auch bei Amazon für den Preis erhältlich. Eine weltweite Übersicht findet man auf der BlueParrott Seite: Händlerliste von BlueParrott

Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Microphone Shootout! Plantronics 5200/5220 vs BlueParrott B350XT Topless

So you want to have a phone call from your Jeep with the doors off and the top down! Impossible, right? Well.. I thought so too. Then I decided to do some testing. I was blown away! Here are the links to the two products I tested in this video: Plantronics 5200 –...

I received my BlueParrott B450‑XT Bluetooth trucker headset from VXi Corp last week and have put some time on it. Long story short, the sound can go louder than you should listen and the tone is very warm and not tinny or trebly like many headsets. The connection is quick and sure. The headset worked immediately with the VXi BlueParrott app I installed on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Active with Android 7 and I associated the Parrott Button with mute and it worked fine. The mute is headset-based and doesn't turn on mute on your phone. While muted, there's a light tone that reminds you that you're on mute.

I took a long walk in the Summer sun and the B450-XT definitely makes my head hot. All my heat moves through my head so the headset got pretty sweaty, maybe resulting in the headset freezing up on me at my halfway point.   When I first put the headset on, it was pretty heavy. I quickly got used to it, no worries, because the deep tone and vibrant sound makes up for it, compared to all the other VXi BlueParrott Bluetooth headsets to say nothing of all the other headsets I have had from Platronics, Jabra, and Jawbone. It is huge, it is like a set of Beats headsets but with only one housing and earpad.  Here's a comparison between the size of the B450-XT and my B250-XT+:

I rode on my Surly Steamroller to Miriam's Kitchen last Wednesday and it wasn't too heavy and it. And, unlike my experience with the Plantronics Voyager Edge and the VXi BlueParrott Bluetooth headsets, there's wasn't a single stutter or problem with the connection when I was listening to podcasts while I rode from Columbia Heights, Arlington, Virginia, to Foggy Bottom, Washington, DC. In terms of sound and volume, if I increased the volume of the phone to max and then set the headset to max volume, I could clearly hear my podcasts during even the windiest day on the bicycle. 

After testing phone calls while riding (I don't recommend it), nobody I called could tell that I was riding my bike or that I was moving through the wind. That's brilliant. If folks can't tell I am riding a bike then they'll surely not be able to tell that I am in a park or working from the cafe.  The battery last forever with two exceptions: the B450-XT will always outlast your phone's battery (make plans) and I've had a couple problems with my B450-XT seizing up and freezing out on me. When my B450-XT freezes up

VXi Blueparrott B450-XT Firmware Update UPDATE: I reached out to VXi Corp for help via Facebook and Twitter and they quickly got back to me on Twitter, acknowledged the problem, and asked me to update the firmware on my B450-XT, which just requires downloading the VXi Updater, installing it, plugging in either your B350-XT or B450-XT, allowing your USB time to identify and install any required drivers. Then, once the VXi Updater recognizes the VXi Corporation Blueparrott headset, you can click the update. It'll take a while for the process to complete so please don't mess with anything because firmware updates are tricky. Everything turned out perfect; however, I haven't tested it out so I don't know yet if it works. I'll let you know. Looks good so far! Once the headset freezes, nothing will reset it until I plug it in to its microUSB charger. Otherwise, I can depress the power button for however long and it won't reset. I think the same thing happened with the B350-XT but never happens or happened with my old B250-XT+--ever. I am hoping it's a fluke. It's only happened twice so far.  It's my only concern and I will be sure to reach out to VXi Corporation to ask them about this freeze up. I have done some reading and the only way to reset the Bluetooth headset is to plug in into the charger, which is lame. I'll just keep a USB charger on me
