Standby time of 500 hours means it is always ready when you are. Charges via micro USB with the included cable or vehicle charger. Customizable BlueParrott ButtonA large, easy-to-find button on the earcup can be programmed to your most-used function — mute, speed dial, Push-to-Talk, or other commands via the free BlueParrott app. Access your most critical function with one touch without looking at the headset or reaching for your phone. Dual-Device Multipoint — Two Devices SimultaneouslyConnects to two Bluetooth devices at the same time — a smartphone and a PC, or two phones — and seamlessly switches between them. Calls on either device come through the headset without manual switching or re-pairing. NFC One-Touch PairingNear Field Communication (NFC) allows instant pairing — tap an NFC-enabled smartphone to the headset and it pairs immediately, no PIN, no menu navigation. Fast and practical for first-time setup and re-pairing after a factory reset. VoiceControl — Hands-Free OperationAnswer and reject calls entirely by voice — press the multi-function button when not on a call to activate your phone's voice assistant (Siri or Google Assistant) for hands-free dialling, navigation, and phone control. Keeps hands on the wheel or on the job. Push-to-Talk and SDK IntegrationVia the BlueParrott app, the BlueParrott Button can be configured for Push-to-Talk operation — enabling group communication over PTT apps. The BlueParrott SDK also allows integration with enterprise handheld terminals including Zebra devices and Unity Intercom for warehouse and field service workflows. IP54 DurabilityRated IP54 against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction — built to survive the environments professional users work in daily. Rain on a job site, sawdust in a workshop, and splashes in a kitchen are not a concern for the B550-XT. A2DP Audio Streaming and 128-Bit EncryptionStreams music, podcasts, and GPS directions directly to the headset via A2DP Bluetooth. All calls are secured with 128-bit data encryption — keeping conversations private on shared or public Bluetooth connections.

Pivot it up and out of the way when not on a call. VoiceControl Pro — "Hello BlueParrott"The B550-XT is the world's first 100% voice-controlled headset.

BlueParrott's Xtreme Noise Suppression (XNS) uses a bidirectional electret microphone that is highly sensitive to sound coming from directly in front — your voice — while rejecting sounds coming from other directions. Digital signal processing then further filters residual background noise from the captured audio before it is transmitted. The result is that engine noise, machinery, road noise, and crowd noise that would be loudly audible in a standard headset are reduced by up to 96% before reaching the person you are speaking with. Can I use this for Push-to-Talk radio apps? Yes. Via the free BlueParrott app on iOS or Android, the BlueParrott Button can be configured for Push-to-Talk operation — enabling group communication over PTT apps including Zello, Motorola WAVE PTX, Verizon Push-to-Talk Plus, and other compatible platforms. The BlueParrott SDK also enables integration with enterprise handheld terminals such as Zebra devices running Workforce Connect and Unity Intercom for professional PTT workflows. Does it work with two phones at the same time? Yes. The B550-XT supports Bluetooth multipoint — simultaneous connection to two devices at once. Both a personal phone and a work phone, or a smartphone and a laptop, can stay connected at the same time. Calls on either device route through the headset automatically without manual switching. Music from one device pauses when a call comes in on the other. Is it legal to use while driving in Canada? In Canada, most provinces permit the use of hands-free Bluetooth headsets while driving — using a handheld device is prohibited, but a Bluetooth headset that allows fully hands-free operation is generally allowed. The B550-XT is a fully hands-free device — calls are answered and controlled by voice or the single BlueParrott Button without handling a phone. Regulations vary by province, so confirm the specific rules for your province and vehicle class before use. What is the BlueParrott Button and how do I customize it? The BlueParrott Button is a large, clearly identifiable button on the earcup that can be programmed to trigger any of several functions — mute, answer/reject calls, speed dial a contact, activate Push-to-Talk, or voice assistant. Customization is done through the free BlueParrott app on iOS or Android. The default function out of the box is mute, which is the most common preference for professional drivers managing calls in noisy environments. Show more
