BlueAnt rolled out a new Bluetooth headset today, the Q1 (it was initially announced at CES).  For the most part it’s your garden variety headset with the exception of complete voice control.  Simply stating ‘redial’, ‘answer’ or ‘check battery’ and a variety of other commands will set the Q1 into action.  If you happen to forget its available commands you can say ‘what can I say’ and the headset will list the available options.  Other notables include dual-mics with voice isolation that can apparently handle 10 mph winds, a 4 hour talk time and 100 hours standby time.

The Q1 will be available this quarter for about $130.

In the case of Bluetooth headsets, too small is never a bad thing. The BlueAnt Z9i Blueooth headset is the perfect mix of size, weight and comfort. But those attributes are nothing without sound quality, volume and connectivity. So how does the Z9i perform?

Is the Bluetrek Z9i any different from other Bluetooth headsets?
The Z9i is your pretty typical Bluetooth headset. It’s probably smaller than the majority of headsets out there and offers a well balanced solid build. An interesting option is the ability to switch between two ‘voice isolation’ modes which I had a hard time detecting.

How’s battery life?
Battery life is as spec’d. You’ll get about 3-5 hours of talk time and a good 4 or 5 days of standby time.

Is it comfortable?
No complaints here. It’s really light weight, and the flexible left/right ear hook, which can be flipped, swiveled and pulled to adjust to almost any ear, kept it securely attached to my head. The default ear bud was a little large for my ear canal, but its rubber padding enabled a snug enough fit for most circumstances. I only suffered from the default ear plug when driving, as it didn’t prevent outside noise from seeping in and mixing with the caller’s voice. Something that was slightly resolved by switching to the included smaller ear piece.

How’s the sounds quality and connection?
As mentioned, sound quality was good. Callers never complained about me

sounding distant, although the mic lay at my ear. The spec’d ‘wind reduction’ technology sorta works, but when I sat in front of a fan and recorded my voice over voicemail, it was very apparent that I was in a windy environment. Notably, the volume of the Blueant Z9i was a little under par from other Bluetooth headsets I’ve experienced, but on the upside prevented me from blowing my ear drum out. As for connectivity, I was a little disappointed. I tested the Z9i with my iPhone, and although the device ‘paired’ easily with my phone initially and when placed back in proximity, the connection was often filled with ‘crackles and pops’, unless of course my phone lay within a 1-2 foot range.

How long does charging take?
From what I could tell it takes a few hours …Continue reading: BlueAnt Z9i Bluetooth Headset Review

I gotta be honest, prior to receiving the Supertooth 3, I had never used a Bluetooth speaker phone. Fortunately, the Supertooth 3’s setup was straight forward and super easy to use, intuitive in fact. With in 5 minutes (including time walking to my car) I had the Blueant Supertooth 3 setup and ready for calls (this doesn’t included the charging time). My experience to date has almost been flawless with one minor drawback, and because of this small and relatively in expensive product I’ve finally realized an almost complete iPhone car integration.

How difficult is the Supertooth 3’s setup?
As mentioned in my intro, the Supertooth 3 is pretty darn simple to setup. Upon initial powering, the device is ready to be paired with a phone, and after setting my phone to ‘discoverable’ and entering the pin ‘0000′ in my handset the two devices were paired. The Supertooth 3 then continued to suck down all my iPhone’s contacts and kept me abreast of its progress until completion. Installing the Supertooth onto my car was simple as slipping one of the two metal strips over the visor and aligning the Supertooth 3’s magnets into position. …Continue reading: BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Speaker Phone Review
