The 3 Best Bluetooth Headsets For Truckers - Summer 2021 Reviews

The best Bluetooth headset for truckers with an on-ear design that we've tested is the BlueParrott B450-XT Bluetooth Headset. This headset is a fair choice for phone calls, and you can wear it on either ear, thanks to its flippable microphone. It's fairly comfortable and stable, so it shouldn't move around a lot on your ears during casual listening sessions.

Its boom microphone has a decent recording quality, so your voice sounds natural to whoever's on the other end of the line but also a bit thin. Fortunately, it has an impressive noise handling performance, so your voice isn't drowned out by background noises, even if you're calling from a noisy place like a truck cab. This headset lasts for over 24 hours off of a single charge, which is handy for long days on the go.

Unfortunately, while it has an okay overall build quality, it doesn't feel very premium, and its ear cup feels flimsy. It also puts a bit of pressure on the top of the ear while you wear it, which may feel uncomfortable during long road trips. That said, if you like an on-ear design, this headset is a solid choice.

The Plantronics Voyager 5200 Bluetooth Headset is the best Bluetooth headset for driving with an in-ear design that we've tested. This well-built mono headset has a comfortable fit as its ear-hook doesn't put a lot of pressure on your ear. Thanks to the swiveling boom mic, you can also use it on either ear.

Its boom microphone has amazing noise handling, ensuring you're heard clearly by whoever is on the other line, even if your cabin is very noisy. Although it records your voice as a bit dark and muffled, it still sounds fairly natural. It also has a companion app that allows you to configure the sensors to automatically answer or reject phone calls while you wear the headset. You can pair it with up to two devices at a time, and it supports NFC pairing.

Unfortunately, some users may find the 6.4-hour continuous battery life a little limiting. However, it has a standby mode to help conserve its battery life when you're not on a call. While it also doesn't isolate almost any background noise, this may likely be by design so that you can hear yourself speak. If you're looking for a comfortable in-ear headset, it's a suitable choice.

The Jabra Talk 45 Bluetooth headset is the best headset for truck drivers at a budget level that we've tested. While it's a bit more pricy than other wallet-friendly headsets, it offers a fair recording quality, so your voice sounds clear and understandable, although slightly muffled. You can also wear the headset on either ear, and it has a stable fit that shouldn't fall out of your ear if you move your head.

This very portable headset has a very balanced mid-range, so speech is clear and present. It also has 7.1 hours of continuous battery life and a standby mode to help conserve battery life when you're not on a call. It's compatible with the Jabra Assist app, and while it doesn't offer sound customization controls, it has a feature that allows the headset to read out your text messages, emails, and other notifications, so you don't need to check your phone. Its boom mic also does a passable job of separating your voice from ambient noise around you.

Unfortunately, the headset may not be the most comfortable as the ear tips can hurt your ear if worn for long periods. Its thin ear hook also feels very fragile and as if it could easily snap or break. That said, if you're looking for a more affordable headset, it's a suitable choice.
