BlueParrott Launches BlueParrott Pro Series Bluetooth Headsets with AI-Powered Voice Isolation for Long-Haul Professional Truck Drivers BlueParrott, part of the GN Group, launched the BlueParrott Pro Series, a new line of next-generation Bluetooth headsets designed specifically for long-haul professional truck drivers. The Pro Series includes two models – the Pro B350 and Pro B450 – both featuring advanced AI-powered voice isolation that cuts through cab, road, and wind noise so drivers can hear and be heard clearly in demanding environments while delivering the durability and comfort BlueParrott is known for. Developed for professional drivers across a range of routes, the Pro Series supports consistent, high-quality communication on the road. BlueParrott worked closely with professional truck drivers, incorporating their feedback on fit and comfort following hands-on testing to ensure a next-generation design that stands up to the BlueParrott brand they rely on, while feeling even more comfortable for long shifts. The flagship model, the Pro B450, offers the longest run time of any BlueParrott headset at up to 45 hours of talk time, so drivers can rely on all-shift performance without interruption. The Pro B450 also introduces three user-controlled listening modes – Active Noise Cancellation On, HearThrough and Active Noise Cancellation Off – that can be toggled with a single button, giving drivers more control over how they hear their environment throughout the day. At the core of the Pro Series is a multi-microphone system with advanced AI-powered voice isolation and precision audio processing, enabling calls, navigation, and real-time coordination within a durable, road-ready design. Combined with Active Noise Cancellation that blocks 98% of background noise and other premium features, the Pro B450 is built for all-day wear by long-haul drivers. Key Features and Specifications Pro B450: AI-powered voice isolation and Active Noise Cancellation block 98% of background noise for clearer calls; Up to 45 hours of talk time – the longest in a BlueParrott headset – with fast charging; IP55-rated protection against dust and water; Premium, pressure-reducing cushioning and secure fit for long-haul comfort; Multi-device Bluetooth with extended wireless range; 100% VoiceControl and customizable BlueParrott Button for quick, distraction-reducing communication.
