BlueAnt Wireless V12 LCD Bluetooth Headset Review at PC Magazine

amirsfc — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 10:16:35 +0000

PC Magazine has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless V12 LCD and writes – “What sets the V12 apart is its LCD. The display provides several status telltales that other headsets can impart only by means of a code of blinking lights. The screen itself is fine, even though it looks like a throwback to early digital watches. The headset is a bulky oval shape, with the thin LCD stretching across the middle. Its blocky, stick-like numerals, abbreviated words placed in predetermined slots across the display, and dull-gray background coloring are out of date in this age of eye-catching OLED displays.”

Blueant T8 Bluetooth Headset Review at MobileBurn

amirsfc — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 09:59:38 +0000

MobileBurn has a review of the Blueant T8 and writes – “Because of its size and shape, the T8 is a very sturdy headset, and the finish on the unit renders it quite scratch resistant. There is the option of wearing it with or without the ear loops, but we found it to be a little uncomfortable and insecure without them. With one of the two optional ear loops on, the headset was nice and snug and didn’t feel like it was going anywhere in a hurry. The ear-buds did cause some discomfort when worn for long periods, as they are in-ear pieces and protruded a fair way into the ear. For shorter term use we had no problems, as they do have soft covers over them. We also found using the MFB while wearing the headset caused a little discomfort as it pushed the ear buds further into the ear, though it wasn’t uncomfortable enough for this to be a deal breaker.”

BlueAnt Wireless T8 Micro Bluetooth Headset Review at CNET

amirsfc — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:01:36 +0000

CNET has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless T8 and writes – “The design of the T8 Micro is reminiscent to the X3 Micro, with its slightly wide body and teardrop shape. Relatively compact at 2×1x0.5 inch, the T8 Micro is outfitted in a rather dull gray and black color scheme. On the front of the headset is the round multifunction button, while the two volume buttons are on its left and right. These buttons flash blue when the headset is activated, though you can choose to turn off the LED indicators if you wish. The buttons were easy enough to press, but we thought the volume buttons were a bit too stiff for our tastes.”

Someone in crackberry.com leaves a comment regarding his BlueAnt products: after about 6 hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone or the Supertooth, I decided to try something I should have attempted much earlier: I snagged my wife’s curve (exactly the same as mine) and tried pairing it with the Supertooth 3. Bingo. It paired-up almost immediately and did not lose the bluetooth connection. Our phones have the exact same operating system and both connect to our network at home wirelessly. Clearly, it was my phone. So, I took it to a Tmobile store today, spent some time on the phone with customer support discussing the issues, and answering questions. It is important to emphasize that I have NEVER been able to pair my 8320 with any bluetooth device. I always just assumed I was the other device, not my phone. Wrong. The wife’s pairing with the Supertooth 3 explained a lot of things. Tmobile agreed and is sending me a new curve, which will arrive in 3 business days – I pay $20.

BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro Bluetooth headset Review at MobileBurn

amirsfc — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 10:01:02 +0000

MobileBurn has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro and writes – “There are two options for wearing the BlueAnt X3 Micro, either with the ear loop, or without. We found that using the ear loop was a more comfortable solution. The non-ear loop method looked more discreet, though did not feel as secure. Those with smaller ears probably wouldn’t be able to use the headset without the ear loop, as the ear bud itself is a bit larger than normal. That said, it caused no discomfort when properly attached, and the ear bud covers provide a soft padding, making it quite a comfortable headset to wear. In conclusion, the BlueAnt X3 Micro is an excellent mid-range Bluetooth headset. It is comfortable, simple to use, good looking, and has good audio quality.”

BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro Bluetooth headset Review at PC Magazine

PC Magazine has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro and writes – “In keeping with the device’s unique, thoughtful approach, the BlueAnt X3 micro comes with the most inventive charging mechanism we’ve seen on a Bluetooth headset yet. You get a foot-long, bendable cord that has positional memory (as with a pipe cleaner), with a standard USB connection on one end and the charger jack on the other side. The USB-connection side can recharge the device using your computer, the included AC power brick, or the included car charger. You can carry all of these around without worrying about a single cable tangle.”

BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro Bluetooth headset Review at CNET

amirsfc — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 06:48:17 +0000

CNET has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro and writes – “On the back of the headset is an earbud that rests in the ear canal for a more secure fit. The headset comes with an optional ear hook, which you can adjust to fit over either ear, and removable foam earbud covers for comfort. If you choose to wear the X3 micro without the ear hook, a removable soft-gel earbud cover provides extra comfort and security. Even without the earbud covers, however, we found the size of the earbud to be a little larger than the ones we’re used to, so it may feel a little uncomfortable for those with smaller ears.”
