i have a friend who is a trucker, and uses a Blueparrot headset and his audio soulnd almost broadcast quality. i was mainly referring to bluetooth ear buds.

The Plantronics 5200 and prior generations sound pretty good. If you get a headset from blueparrot, you'll find that their microphones are great, and those tend to be used by truckers. I mean, call quality depends on your carrier and whether or not you are on an HD call, as well as on the phone in question, but some headsets are better than others to be sure.

I think that the Aftershokz audio is as good or better than most, at least as far as how you sound to others on a call. I have noticed an issue with the Aftershokz Trekz Air on Zoom calls, as folks tell me that my audio starts good but then drops out.

I just returned a pair of Echo Frames. They were actually quite good and I would have kept them but battery life was dismal only going for a few hours, nowhere near a full day of useage. I just received and have been using the Aftershokz Open Comm. Although they have several different models now, I got the OpenComm due to their longer talk time of 16 hours. They are pretty good but with a couple of issues. 1.. Using the multi function button to involk siri doesn’t work although the button work fine for other functions. 2.. The first part of a word is often cut off, maybe some sort of battery saving logic. I’m wondering if you have run into either one of these issues with the AeroPex model? I’d appreciate any thoughts on this. I’ve already done things like forgetting and re-pairing the headset and also have done a reset as well. Unfortunately not working with Siri is a deal breaker for me but I really like the headset otherwise so am terying to see if there is anything I can do to get it working properly. Aftershokz support thus far has not responded to me regarding these issues.

I use the Aeropex, and find them to be the best ones yet. Thanks.
