Professional Bluetooth Headset
96% Noise Cancellation
24-Hour Battery — IP54
BlueParrott's most advanced headset — 96% noise cancellation, 100% VoiceControl Pro hands-free operation, 300-foot wireless range, 24-hour battery, premium cushioned earcup and padded headband, and IP54 durability.
The BlueParrott B550-XT is the flagship of the BlueParrott professional headset lineup — and the world's first 100% voice-controlled headset. VoiceControl Pro allows you to answer and reject calls, play music, check battery status, and activate your voice assistant simply by saying "Hello BlueParrott" — without touching the headset or your phone. It delivers the same industry-leading 96% noise cancellation, 300-foot wireless range, 24-hour battery, BlueParrott Button, NFC pairing, and PTT/SDK integration as the B350-XT and B450-XT — with a larger cushioned earcup and extra padded headband for premium all-day comfort, and VoiceControl Pro as the standout feature that no other model in the lineup offers.

Key Features
|
96% Noise Cancellation — Xtreme Noise Suppression
BlueParrott's proprietary Xtreme Noise Suppression technology cancels up to 96% of background noise at the microphone — engine noise, road noise, machinery, crowd noise, and HVAC systems are all suppressed before your voice reaches the caller. Industry-leading performance that sets BlueParrott apart from standard noise-cancelling headsets.
|
300-Foot Wireless Range
Bluetooth 5.0 with an extended wireless range of 300 feet (100 metres) — step away from your phone or PC without dropping the connection. Move freely throughout a warehouse, along a loading dock, or around a job site while staying connected.
|
|
24-Hour Talk Time — 500-Hour Standby
A single charge delivers up to 24 hours of continuous talk time — a full day and more without reaching for a charger. 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 Button
A 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 Simultaneously
Connects 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 Pairing
Near 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 Operation
Answer 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 Integration
Via 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 Durability
Rated 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 Encryption
Streams 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.
|
|
Flexible Gooseneck Mic Boom
The microphone boom is flexible and stays in any position you set it — positioning the mic optimally relative to your mouth for the best noise cancellation performance. 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. Say "Hello BlueParrott" to wake the headset, then use voice commands to answer or reject calls, play or pause music, check battery status, and activate Siri or Google Assistant — all without touching the headset or your phone. The only BlueParrott model with this capability.
|

The B550-XT is for professional drivers, field workers, and anyone who wants the definitive BlueParrott experience — maximum noise cancellation, 100% voice-controlled hands-free operation, 300-foot range, and the most comfortable fit in the lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does 96% noise cancellation actually work?
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.
