The 5th generation bluetooth headsets from Blue Parrott has proven to build on and improve upon all previous generations of headsets. The 550 boasts a whopping 24 hours of talk time - not standby, that's even longer - but actually using the device for over 24 hours before needing recharged. BlueParrott has also learned something from their previous models when it comes to comfort, the new B550XT was engineered with comfort and long-use in mind. Extra soft padding on the cups, as well as additional padding on the head strap means you'll likely forget it's on your head. Comfort has taken a front seat here and it's clear that you can go all day with this headset on and not become fatigued by it. Combine everything with the fact this headset is also capable of reducing background noise by 96%!
Extreme noise canceling. When you're talking to someone on the phone, the last thing you want them saying is "I can't hear you", or "you must be driving." The 550XT fixes this problem by being extremely noise canceling and clear. Only your voice will be heard.
Just talk to your headset. You get voice controlled calls.
Complete hands-free usage with voice commands. Don't press buttons or take your eyes off the road. Just speak the command and control your calls, GPS, music, voice assistant, etc.
