The 3 Best Bluetooth Headsets For Truckers - Fall 2021 Reviews

The BlueParrott B450-XT Bluetooth Headset is the best Bluetooth headset for truckers that we've tested. This mono on-ear headset has a flippable microphone, meaning that you can wear it on either ear. It's reasonably comfortable and decently stable, so it shouldn't slide around too much on your head when you're using it.

The ear cup has buttons that let you mute the mic and adjust the volume, convenient when taking calls. The boom mic has a decent recording quality, so your voice sounds clear and fairly natural over the phone, but also a bit thin. However, it does an impressive job of separating your voice from background noise, so it shouldn't get drowned out even when you're calling from a loud place. The headset's continuous battery life of 24 hours means you can use them for a long day on the go without worrying about running out of power.

However, it doesn't have the best build quality since some parts of its construction feel cheap. Also, while it has a very well-balanced mid-range that ensures voices are clear, its sound profile is a bit dark and veiled, so it may not be ideal for listening to music. That said, if you're a trucker looking for an on-ear headset for phone calls, this one 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 mono headset is well-built and has a comfortable as well as stable in-ear fit. The headset also supports multi-device pairing, which is nice if you want to connect to your work phone and personal phone at the same time.

The boom microphone offers an excellent noise handling performance. It can separate your voice from moderate ambient noise around you, ensuring you're heard clearly, even if you're in a noisy cabin. While your voice sounds somewhat dark and muffled, speech should still be easy to understand. Thanks to its companion app, you can configure the headset's sensors to answer or reject a call when you're wearing it.

Unfortunately, its sound profile is designed to reproduce voices clearly, and it lacks bass, so it may not be the best choice if you want to listen to music. It only has a continuous battery life of 6.4 hours too, which may not last through long days on the road. Luckily, its standby mode can help conserve battery life when you're not on a call. Overall, this in-ear headset offers a comfortable, stable fit that's sure to please most users.

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. 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.
