Blue parrot Issues
I might have a similar issue. I bought my 1st BP just about a month ago. So, I have not updated the firmware, but it could have already come with the updated firmware. (?) Anyway, yes it will disconnect my phone calls at random times, right in the middle of conversation. I need to call tech support about it, but haven't had a chance. More on reddit.com

r/Headsets on Reddit: blue parrot b450xt on pixel6pro very low mic
July 26, 2023 -

what is going on with this headset and Android phones or the pixel 6pro? but i think it might apply to all pixels. the mic volume for the other side is terribly low and extremely frustrating. people can't hear you. there is no way to control mic volume. there is just one volume control for the general Android volume. this is supposed to be a premium headset for making calls and is almost unusable because of this.

i tried finding apps or rooted magisk modules to tweak mic volume since Android doesn't offer anything but no luck. not surprisingly, pixel buds volume is loud and clear. it's Google deliberately sabotaging other Bluetooth mics to make theirs better because theirs sure works fine. but I'd really like to use this headset. I've spent hours troubleshooting this the past few years no luck. and i even had prior to this the older 450xt model and same result.

Yes, there are two ways actually: 1- You can monitor the headset battery directly from your phone, mine is android and i can see the headset battery life all the time. 2- You can program the BlueParrott button to check the battery life, whenever pressed it will tell you the battery life status.

My review of the Blue Parrot B450-XT | Android Central Forum
October 8, 2020 - These headsets are for people that ... the B450-XT excels at. The problem with comfort while wearing glasses is the only persistent issue, and the max volume beep can be worked around. If you think those are deal breakers, then I would still suggest looking at other Blue Parrot headsets. They all have unbeatable call quality, but other models may have a more comfortable design for your tastes. ... Great review! My wife used to use the BlueParrott B250-XT, which ...
