Default definitive best mic and headset for cell phones??

Tell me drivers. What is the definitive best mic and headset for cell phones used by truck drivers?
I am tired of my buddies saying they can't hear me clearly and I am tired of pushing an earpiece into my ear so I can hear them at all. After all isn't this supposed to be hands free?

What are you using, what's the cost and how do you rate it?

Best I have found is the Blue Parrott. It is wireless connection, available at Flying J or on line at Big Sky Communication.com. Priced at about $80.00 for the B250 Model. I also had people telling me if I was using a head set not to call them, until I got the Blue Parrott. Several of our drivers have purchased them since I got mine and they all are very pleased. Good luck to you.

I'm running a b250. There is a newer model called the b250t? There is a slight difference but either is fine. The noise cancelling is superb. People ask me where I am because they can't hear the road noise. Search on Google Product Search I found one for $66 a while back.

The new Jawbone earpiece isnt a headset but it works quite well in noisy areas. Doesn't have that blue light flahing either.
