You have to press the on off button and when you hear a ding then you tell it to command read a message or call somebody I have the exact same one and I love it

Been having issues with mine. One edit my buddies can hear me. I can be talking for an hour straight. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere, they can't hear me. I just shut my headset off and restart my phone and then they can hear me again for a while. Then the same issue happens again. Other times it's just so spurious and random. But, during this whole time, I can hear them just clear as day and fine. I don't know if I got a loose wire in the microphone or what.

[@justinplatinumjayharriscwo4241]

I been having the same problems

[@babysinn]

I'm dealing with the same thing I just got another one and its doing the same thing.

[@jaimenh77]

Same thing, can an update fix issue?

[@jaimenh77]

You need to update firmware already fix mine and is perfect

[@fram1111]

@@jaimenh77 Did firmware not fix it completely plus lose the a function of have one headset for two devices and that's why I bought the product to fill that inche, other was better products.

[@corysabia2141]

I chnaged re configured the button

[@fram1111]

The 550 Is not all it's cracked up to be it's heavy and a cap helps with that and I had two both tight on my head on totally unbearable. Works ok but not a leap forward in my option. Tech is moving fast they may have come up with something better. Need a device that has the ability to works on two devices at the same time. This worked until firmware, and replacement does work with Win 10 as a Microphone for both phone and win10 computer. Maybe I'm missing something but not an option so far had it for a year now.

[@edhammers571]

Say hello blue parrot, and then when prompted say voice command, I setup with Google on Android phone, and then just tell it who you want to call. Working great for me. Sound quality of the 550 is Awesome

[@JaredJacobsonLaw]

Great review thanks!

[@peterparkerakaspider-manth2977]

I like the B350-xt then the B550-xt

[@MR_UNOoo]

Who makes the 440???

[@GrabinGears]

🤣🤣

[@sherryphillips8867]

Why does it seem to mute the call and even hang up on it's own during calls?

[@WayneCragg1]

Kenneth Phillips I have been having the exact same issue! So strange. I’ll be doing another follow up video with my issues. Way more than the 450.

[@rasmith1959]

I have experienced the same issue myself, and this is with the latest version of the firmware. Hopefully they'll get it fixed in a future update.

[@sherryphillips8867]

@@rasmith1959 it's horrible. The price and quality is not good.

[@jeremiehernandez2563]

I having the same issue. Anything that would fix it?

[@rasmith1959]

Since you wear glasses, does it make your ear hurt after wearing the headset for a while?

[@WayneCragg1]

Roy Smith hello. Not at all. In fact, I believe the headset has saved my glasses from falling off my head hundreds of times when I was flatbedding.

[@rasmith1959]

@@WayneCragg1 Awsome! Sounds what I've been looking for. You were talking about the range of the headset. Well I've done some reasearch and the 300 ft range they claim is when the headset is connected to a class 1 bluetooth device. Most cell phones are only class 2 bluetooth devices with a 60 ft range. There is another class of bluetooth device class 3 which is usually used by keyboards and mice and other devcies like that with a 3 ft range. Anyway, thanks for the info and a great review!

[@chantellecomas1286]

Do you think it will cancel out my baby crying in the background while I'm on a call? Will they be able to hear the baby ?

[@willgibb7051]

Can anyone please explain how to update the 550?? My mom has been having major issues with her headset and the last update she did a couple of months ago, didn't seem to work. Now when I plug in her headset to my PC to try to update it, the program doesn't recognize the device and to clear up any confusion. My PC runs better than hers on windows 10 with a gtx 1070, i7 etc. So I don't think it's a compatibility issues

[@WayneCragg1]

Will Gibb hey there. I can’t get mine to update either. Loved the 450, this 550 has been nothing but weird issues. Sorry I couldn’t help more.

[@adamhearts3764]

This or the clear dryve 200 ??

[@Cerpiustogas]

You need to install APP

[@antoniohardy7416]

What’s the apps name

[@rasmith1959]

Hey Wayne! Just wanted to comment that I've contacted customer support and vented my frustrations with them about the problems I've been experiencing with the B550-XT headset, and basically what they said was this: After updating your device's app and the headset firmware, unpair your headset from your phone by clearing the pairing in your phone and reboot your phone. Then clear the headset pairing list by turning off your headset, then turning it back on, then hold down the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds, then pair your headset again. Since I've done that it seems to work better, but it still doesn't address the one issue I've had and that's the low recording level when making a voice memo.

[@WayneCragg1]

Roy Smith thank you for the feedback!

[@jeremiehernandez2563]

Are you having issues with the 550 just hanging up during your call?

[@aaronwalter3202]

I believe that there is a an app from blue parrot you can download that I believe supports the voice command.. Not sure if that's the problem for you. I have the 450 but seriously thinking I want the 550..thanks for the review!
