Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good bluetooth headset for two way radios? I am looking to possibly add bluetooth to my radios with the Pryme BT-501-V2 unit. I just need something that offers clear audio and preferably has a PTT button. I'd also like something that is somewhat inconspicuous or that is at least not bulky. I've been told that the Plantronics bluetooth headsets work well with the Pryme, so I am currently looking at the Voyager 5200. I don't know anything about bluetooth headsets though so your advice is appreciated. This is strictly for communication purposes with two way radios.

Thanks for the input! I actually went with a set of Jlab Air ANC earbuds. They pair up immediately with the Pryme Bluetooth dongle and they offer excellent audio quality especially in noisy enviroments.

I tried the Voyager 5200 and the Jabra Talk 65 units as well. The Voyager unit I purchased paired up initially but then I could never get it to pair again. The Jabra worked fine but you cannot take advantage of the long range because you are limited to the 35ft range of the Pryme dongle.

You must use the radio's PTT with the Pryme, so the microphone on the headsets is useless. This defeats the purpose of having a headset such as the 5200 or Talk 65.

God Bless,
Ralph
