BlueParrott headset improves noise cancelation

BlueParrott has recently launched its new M500-XT Bluetooth headset, which features an advanced dual intelligent microphone system that filters out 93% of background noise, the company said.

Powered by AI, seamless voice control and intuitive button placement, the headset helps truckers hear more clearly and be clearly heard, enabling safer, distraction-free calls while driving and on the move throughout the workday. 

It builds on the success the company's prior-generation M300-XT SE with what it called industry-leading noise cancelation, durability, and customization. The M500-XT ratchets those qualities up a notch, delivering stronger noise control, expanded voice control, and a slimmer fit.

“Independent owner-operators are constantly juggling dispatch, brokers, customers, and compliance while running their business from the cab," said Andrew Doyle, Vice President and General Manager of BlueParrott and Jabra. "The BlueParrott M500-XT was built for that reality. It helps drivers communicate clearly in high-noise environments without having to shout or strain, so every work conversation stays professional and focused."

M500-XT features:

  • Noise cancelation uses dual intelligent microphones to block up to 93% of ambient road and wind noise
  • 10-mm speaker delivers clear audio without higher volume for up to 11 hours of talk time
  • Weighs less than one ounce and can be worn on either ear
  • Range to roam up to 300 feet/100 meters from paired Bluetooth devices
  • IP54-rated protection against dust and water
  • Customizable BlueParrott Button for options such as muting calls, plus easy access to Push-to-Talk applications

"With a wireless range of up to 300 feet, drivers can remain connected while checking equipment or speaking with customers outside the truck," Doyle added. "Its lightweight, durable design is made for long shifts and changing conditions.”

The M500-XT is available for $119.99 on Amazon and BlueParrott.com, along with select travel centers.
