Need a good Bluetooth Wireless earbud / headset and mic

[chesterdawg]

So I'm looking for a good Bluetooth Wireless earbud / headset and mic with clear sound, loud volume and noise cancellation. I have an LG V10. I need it mostly in my car. I wear eyeglasses.

I've seen features that allow for voice commands and also to answer a call when the device is placed on your ear. Both would be nice but I need one that is dependable, has good talk & standby time and convenient to charge. It seems some have some sort of magnetic device to charge? while others have a USB cord with or w/o an AC wall charger? it would be nice to have all or at least 2 out of 3.

Plantronic seems to get ok reviews on amazon but only 57% give 5 stars (I prefer 80% or higher with the remainder 4 & 3 stars). I'm also loosing trust in amazon reviews, they spike the number of reviews for a given product with free giveaways. If you read the entire review (always 5 star) at the end there are a few words stating "Review given in exchange for free product giveaway" way to go amazon!!

I've never used a hands free device but its past time to do this in my vehicle.

So what works best with eyeglasses in your experience?

Thanks

Are you looking for something just to answer calls while driving, or are you looking for music as well? I am a truck driver, and the noise cancellation on the one I have is about the best on the market. Clear sound, and works with voice command. Ascetically, not the best looking one, but does the job, and does it well. I can leave it on for at least 10 days straight without recharging.

For phone calls only. I have stereo earbuds & headphones for music but need a good wireless bluetooth device for hands free driving. I'll check your link. Wow! I may have to get this. It is wireless correct? all those AC and other power options made me think it was not wireless at first.

Thanks

Yes. Wireless. Micro USB recharging, and also NFC pairing. Just tap, and pairing is done.

So the amazon kit $129 is Bundled to include AC Power Supply, Car Charger PLUS a Replacement 12v MobileSpec Car Charger? Is that a 2nd car charger? what for?

On ebay (99% feedback seller) it is selling for $89 and includes both AC & DC charger. Is the amazon kit worth an additional $40? for a 2nd charger? I think I'm missing something.

Other than that this looks like a winner, I just have to figure what which kit to purchase and what that Replacement 12v MobileSpec Car Charger is?.

Thanks and please keep it coming. I want to get it right the first time and not have to deal with returns.

Looks to me the Amazon package includes a second car charger. The box itself has a USB car adapter and a USB wall adapter. In truck stops, they are priced at the $129.99 as on Amazon. I don't know about the eBay listings. I am guessing, as with anything else on eBay, check the seller rating.

That's what I thought but $40 for a 2nd car charger? does it have to be a certain model charger/plug? then I could see them marking it up but otherwise car chargers/cables are pretty cheap.

Thanks

I sent an email to this authorized distributor of VXI BLUEPARROTT and got an instant reply stating that the only difference with his factory kit and the amazon is and additional $1.99 charger so I'm buying from him for $102 delivered and saving $20.

Thanks again

That should be great for the car but what about a smaller/portable version with great/clear/loud sound and noise cancelling?
