The 3 Best Bluetooth Headsets For Truckers - Winter 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 mono headset has a flippable design, so you can wear it on either ear while driving. Its boom microphone has a decent recording quality, so your voice should be understandable even if you're calling from a noisy truck cab.

This headset is fairly comfortable and stable, and it's even rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, though we don't currently test for this. You can also pair it with up to two devices at the same time, which makes it easy to switch your audio source to a different smartphone or laptop. Also, it lasts for over 24 hours off of a single charge, so you shouldn't have to worry about recharging it daily.

Unfortunately, this headset has bad noise isolation, so you may struggle to hear whoever's on the other end of the line if you're in a noisy environment. Also, its earcup feels pretty flimsy, and it can start to feel a bit fatiguing if you wear it for long periods. However, if you're looking for an on-ear Bluetooth headset for taking calls on-the-go, it's still a solid choice.

The Plantronics Voyager 5200 Bluetooth Headset is the best in-ear Bluetooth headset for truckers 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 so that you can automatically answer or reject phone calls while wearing it. 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 Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is the best Bluetooth headset for truckers on a budget that we've tested. If you need an affordable option with decent recording quality, its boom mic can capture your voice clearly. It also has over 17 hours of continuous playback time, as well as a standby mode so that you can take calls throughout the day.

This well-built, on-ear headset is very comfortable, and you can easily switch it to be worn on either ear, depending on your preferences. While its boom mic may have some trouble separating your voice from ambient noise, you should still be understandable to others on the other end of the line. It also supports multi-device pairing, which can be handy if you want to switch between your work and personal phones.

Unfortunately, it's fairly barebones in terms of features, and it doesn't have a companion app. It's also not designed or advertised for listening to music as it lacks a lot of bass and treble. However, if you're looking to save some money while still being able to take calls on the road, this is a budget-friendly option.
