I went ahead and started a new thread as I (and others) thought it be more appropriate.

Perhaps we ought to start a separate thread, however could you be a little more specific about this "bunch of complaints" regarding the VXI BlueParrot headset. I purchased one just over a month ago and the thing that is driving me crazy is that every morning I have to spend between 2 and 15 minutes before it will start working.

What I meant by a bunch of complaints are the following (you actually mentioned many).

Comfort: Some want an earworn bluetooth vs. over the head. For some reason, many are really caught up on this. Doesn't bother me but I wear headsets all day so I'm used to it.

Accuracy: I have actually surveyed users as well as dealers regarding the accuracy. As I mentioned, the accuracy is really good for me once it is trained but I know when I did training, I had trouble getting through it. I know of at least 4 other dealers with the same experience. I have had many users state they would get better accuracy through the wired headset, including the VXI TalkproUSBs. I think if one has a soft spoken voice, they get worst accuracy. That's my current observation.

Pairing: I guess that's just a bluetooth matter.

Battery life: This is also a problem. I tried to install this in a hospital and the shortened battery life and having multiple headsets and having to pair was simply unacceptable.

Since a good majority of my customers are in Medical setting, I've tried all kinds of solutions and the Shure mics have always delivered as promised.

Time to upgrade!

I switched them all to the Frequency Agile Shure Wireless PGX and it's working like a charm. Everyone is extremely happy. Even with a belt pack, it's far better than having a wire across the desk and across paperwork or getting stuck on the wheels of your chair and worrying about battery life. The batteries on a Shure will work for 18 hours continuous. Rechargeable battery time is reduced but is more than enough (at least 10+ hours). This with a few spares being recharged and battery life is a worry of the past. Further, on this last install to a Pathology Department, each individual would use their system while doing microscopic in their offices and going into the gross room, they change the frequency on the receiver, and they are instantly heard on that computer using their same headset. Then they can all switch machines with a turn of a dial. It really is a nice implementation. This is the method of choice for Physician environments. Never a complaint!

Now I'm getting off subject ..... However .....

Those are the general complaints I've received on the VXI Bluetooth.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHAT ABOUT THAT NEW 6 DRAGON GN NETCOM HEADSET 503USB. Anybody try them? The GN405UNC seems with to work well as did the GN MPA Satellite. Can this be another heavy hitter?
