3 Stars Great sound, 755p compatible, abysmal battery life
Sound quality (my end and their end):
I am very pleased with how well I can hear others, even with background noise around me. My dad mumbles, and I can hear him more clearly on this headset than others I’ve tried. However, the folks I talk to tell me that they can’t tell any difference between how I sound when I talk to them with this headset compared to my previous Jabra 5020 (which cost $30). I had to shell out $$$ for this item because my phone is nearly incompatible with bluetooth headsets, but if I didn’t have a Sprint Treo 755p (fellow 755p owners see below), I would have stuck with the Jabra 5020’s comparable sound (although my 5020 literally fell apart after 1 month).
If I make too much background noise on my end (crumpling newspaper, running water, shuffling papers, moving dishes etc), it’s painfully loud for folks on the other end. But that has been the case for my Jabra 5020, Motorola H700, Plantronics Voyager 510, Gennum NX6000 and even a wired Jabra. And they can turn their headsets down.
Comfort and fit:
I find this VERY comfortable. It’s made for user’s to nestle the ear bud in your ear. It comes with ear gels in 3 sizes, and the medium fits my medium-small ear well. It will NOT stay in my ear without the flexible ear loop. The ear loop is bendable and did not break when I bent it to fit my ear. It has held its shape. Now I can shake my head and the headset won’t budge.
Battery life:
The battery life is VERY poor and disappointing. I can only get a max of 60 minutes of talk time out of it. Even if I leave it turned on but don’t use it, the battery drains in less than a day. I would have expected more battery life for this much money. I’m thinking of returning it for that reason. Note: I left the headset plugged into the charger all night. When I went to bed, the light was blue (indicates full charge, but when I retrieved it this morning, the light was red (low charge). Go figure.
FOR TREO 755p USERS:
I have a Sprint Treo 755p and finding a headset that is compatible with it has been a nightmare. I have only had this headset for a week, but so far it seems to be causing fewer problems than my previous 4 headset attempts. The headset picks up calls when it’s supposed to about 85-90% of the time, which is by far the best I’ve experienced. FYI, I do not route calls directly to the headset, I press the button on the headset when I get or make a call. My Treo soft resets itself a whole lot, but it’s hard to say if that has anything to do with the headset or not. It does it more frequently when the headset is on, but still does it when the headset’s turned off.
5 Stars Excelent for iPhone
The best bluetooth headset for iPhone. Low battery consumption, great sound quality. Definately a product to have, if you have an iPhone.
BlueAnt V1 Voice Controlled Bluetooth Headset Silver
BlueAnt’s V1 Voice Controlled Bluetooth Headset introduces the revolutionary BlueGenie Voice User Interface, letting you control most functions with the sound of your voice. Amazingly, the headset will actually talk back to you too!Pushing one button activates the voice recognition technology and gives you control of all the functions of the V1, just by talking. If you need assistance, ask for it and the headset will verbally help you get the commands you want.
5 Stars Great item
My wife had been using a BlueAnt hands-free in her car for over a year and loved it so when I was in the market for a headset I checked out BlueAnt first. This unit provides excellent quality sound and picks up your voice very well over background noise even at a busy airport gate.
3 Stars Not as Clear Sounding as I had hoped
This headset is often fine. However, there are times when I cannot hear the caller at all. It is still unclear if it is definitely the headset or my phone with the problems
5 Stars Best BT Headset EVER
This is bar none the best BT headset I’ve ever used. I’ve had some Motorola units which generally worked well enough and more importantly were bullet proof; one unit even spent the night in a puddle of rainwater without damage. I also, for a few weeks, had the first Jawbone, which worked great, but fit poorly and broke the first time my kid knocked it off my head.
This however, works great, fits great, and is smaller and lightweight. The voice control is effortless, though a user level with shorter confirmations would be nice.
I finally have a headset that fits and works! Now, let’s see if it can take living in the real world with my kids o_0
4 Stars Blueant V1 Better than Moto H15 and works with the BlackBerry Bold (9000)
I purchased the Blackberry Bold, and needed a hands free headset. When I was in the store I noticed that a lot (all of) of the at&t guys were wearing the Jaw Bone 2. I thought to purchased that headset, but my sales guy pointed me to the Moto H15. I was a little nervous about the Jaw Bone as one of my friends has one. He says when driving and turning his head, the Jaw Bone comes away from his face and people say it they can hear nearly nothing. He says as long as he keeps his head fairly straight it is one of the best sounding headsets. A lot of my calling will be from the car, I have an hour commute and that is a good time to catch up on a lot. Should have known. The H15 Motorola H15 Noise-Canceling Blue tooth Wireless Headsetcosts a lot, and has noise canceling technology, supposedly. It didn’t work. My guys at my office said it was so bad with the Bold that they could not hear me. I had torn up the package so returning it was not easy, I just left it. I used that device less than 10 times.
I spent the next 4 months talking on the speaker phone as the Bold has excellent sound, but with a few new customers I need a good Bluetooth headset. So I started looking again. On Cracyberry I saw the Blue Ant, BlueAnt V1 Voice-Controlled Blue tooth Headset (Silver) it seemed (as all of them) too good to be true. The Bold has a crappy voice control system, and the Blue Ant has its own.
I looked around and Amazon actually had the lowest price! So I ordered it and took apart the package very carefully. Now here is the first thing, these guys offer a two year warranty. That is very tight. I could talk to a support person as I had a question very quickly and didn’t have to give serial numbers and all of that jazz.
The package has every thing in it you would expect and more. I like the “little” stiff micro USB charge cable it comes with as the V1 is so small I like to know where it is. I read through the manuals, charge it up, and immediately was on the phone. Called the guys in the office and they could hear me fine. When I am driving my Office Manager says it sounds like “…a waterfall is behind you…” but my truck is not the quietest. However she says she can clearly understand me.
One thing that to note BlueAnt says you need to have “Blue Tooth standard Speed dialing…” Well I can’t find any specifications on that, however the Bold does work with their speed dialing. The BlueAnt supports BlueTooth v 2.1 and the Bold (AFAIK) supports BlueTooth v 2.0. However when assigning speed dialing numbers, you have to match up the letters with the numbers. So BlueAnt speed dial 1 on my Bold goes in the letter w, 2 goes in E, 3 goes in R and so forth. I let the guy know they should put that on the FAQ.
Any way, three days into it, very happy. I can dial with the “Call Work” “Call Speed Dial 8″ and such. As I am using the bold I can put in commas or pauses to get pass the auto attendant and extensions. I am a happy camper. One sad note, when I went outside today with a little wind, it could not understand “Dial Speed Dial Home.” Don’t know if I was saying it right, will try “Dial Home” when I am on my way home. I put my most common guy in Speed Dial 9, and you need to say “Dial Speed Dial 9″ to get it to dial. You can see my out of whack life work balance, I call the office way more than I call the house.
I use the hook and the nice ear foam. I can wear it all day, but I like the hook as I can “have it rest” outside of my ear, so I can hear normally when it is not in use. I don’t use the clip (nice idea, but not nice construction) that comes with it, so you can clip it to your shirt. That is very weak, and where am I going to clip it that I will not worry about it slipping off? Better to wear it, or put it IN a pocket.
Again, why didn’t I rate it 5 stars? Because some one thought it would be cute to have the thing talk to you in a masculine male voice. I know it should not matter, but I do not like having a male voice whisper in my ear all day. I wonder why 90% of the voices are some soothing female voice, is it just preferred, or is it what we are “use too?” Don’t know, but I dislike the masculine voice.
Also I think I should be able to turn off the LED once and have it stay off, have to do it every time you turn the device on (like after charging every night).
Simply put, best wireless handset I have ever purchased. Now how to get it to work on my computer game as a computer mic….
5 Stars Best Bluetooth headset ever!!
I admit that I don’t have many of these. My first was a motorola, and it was almost useless. Since then, I have tried several and was happy with none of them. Then a couple of days ago, I found this device on sale on daily deal on Amazon so I decided to try. It is nothing short of Amazing!!
One thing I learned, put it on and following spoken instructions when you pair it with your phone. Written instructions were not very accurate.
I made my first call with it (have not tried voice dial), and the sound quality is awesome. The other person didnot even know I was speaking through this headset. This is the most important thing, right? At least for me. Everything else is secondary, except for battery life. I will see how the battery goes.
Very impressive.
