Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone have any recommendations on a LOUD (preferably adjustable) bluetooth hands-free (cellphone) device...? Zipping along in the Miata (top up or down!), my old Plantronics M90 just doesn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have one of the Blue Parrot B250 series of headsets. Not very stylish but it covers my ear and helps attenuate noise and is plenty loud. The boom mike has a foam cover that really helps with the wind noise. You can buy them at Pilot Truck Stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Of course you could spend $6k on Oticon hearing aids and the extra $287.00 for the Bluetooth adapter that you wear around your neck that lets you hear your phone through your hearing aids and then never use it because it's to distracting. Mrs. Lose can't figure out why I never answer my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well folks, I didn't mean to offend nor raise anyone's ire... it was a simple request for recommendations for a quality Bluetooth, not a request for moral interpretation of my intent in using one. And for what it's worth, I have never rear-ended anyone, while using a Bluetooth, nor while not using a Bluetooth. On the other hand, I HAVE been seriously rear-ended, twice, sideswiped once, and "T-Boned" once by people not using cellphones. Eating a cheeseburger while driving is probably more of a distraction than responsibly using a Bluetooth. I see people doing that all the time. Heck... having your mother-in-law in the passenger seat is undoubtedly more of a distraction. I submit that anyone who rear-ends someone while having a Bluetooth stuffed in his/her ear is probably a lousy driver to begin with... or at the very least irresponsible. And anyone who does not care to use one is more than welcome to not. So... returning to my original request, does anyone else have any recommendations on a decent model?

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I like Crest but have used other brands. My teeth are pretty white, but drinking coffee as I do, they tend to stain some. Not chewing tobacco seems to help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sarge Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Could you adapt something like this and attach it to your cellphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I like it Sarge. That 25 mission roll on the hat is the show stopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_slinger Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I use the Motorola Moto Hint. It's plenty loud for me but I've never tried to use it in a convertible with the top down. I think any hands free device would give problems with wind noise for the person at the other end. GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have had good luck with all of my Plantronics devices. The last one I purchased was the 510 Worked really well. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm with Chickasaw on this one. I got put on the shoulder of a 3 lane expressway by a chick with an I-Phone that had no clue I, or anyone else, was anywhere around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry that happened to ya, Noz. It wasn't me. And if said chick had been using her Bluetooth it likely wouldn't have happened. I merely asked for recommendations. So please, if you want to bitch about people driving unsafely start another thread... this is like listening to gun control arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Early in the Bluetooth era, one day I was standing at a urinal in a public restroom when the guy standing to my left suddenly started yelling at the wall. Scared the p**s outa me. They've been around a long time now, and I'm still not used to people walking around talking to the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I work in a very large facility. I frequently see people walking around alone, wildly gesturing. I think to my self, another escapee from the ranks of management............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Horse Hair, SASS #77464 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 You want a Blue Tiger Dual Elite. Professional grade, can cover both ears. I've tried lots of them, this is the best. I have trouble understanding conversation on phones. And I run my business from a cell phone. I'm around equipment and lots of hours in trucks that are older and make noise, both engine and wind. This is the best unit I've used by far. bluetigerusa.com. No Horse Hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
