I just bought the updated x450 headset and itโs great ! comfortable , good sound quality , good noise canceling. No complaints really. For the price itโs a good deal. You always go for the garmin dezel 100 for more comfort but itโs pricey at 300 dollars.
That review suffers from the cookie cutter approach employed here when reviewing headsets. Of course a headset like this Blue Parrot isnโt great for ANC while listening - itโs not meant for that (design, speaker on one side only!). It canโt and shouldnโt isolate from sound in the environment, or using it while driving would be dangerous and illegal! But, if one wants to make or take a call, the key deliverable is whether the other party can hear me loud and clear, but is spared the noise around me. Iโm other words, is outgoing voice clean, free of environmental noise, and not notably processed or distorted? And that is something this and some similar good quality headsets deliver. I have the 350 of that line, and can make or accept work calls while on the move and sound like I am indoors. All while being able to pay attention to whatโs going on around me. My Bose Over-the-Ears ANC set is great for music, but unusable for driving.
