Cons: After using it for a few months, I found the earpiece doesn't stay in properly. I started to use the over-ear clip, but after a few months, that slips out of the rubber holder as well.
Pros: - Multihomed so I can use it with 2 phones at the same time.- Excellent sound quality - almost all of my callers can't even tell I'm using it- Durable- Battery lasts pretty good although I'm not on it all day; probably 15 minutes per day on average- CallerID announce- Voice answer and dial |

Cons: Can say yet
Pros: Price looked good Comment:
Did not shop around further because it they said there was a $20.00 instant rebate making the price $69.99 plus taxes.It turns out there is nothing instant about the rebate. It does not come off the price in the check out process but you have to apply for it when you get the headset, which means, I presume, you will pay taxes on the $20.00 that is rebated.Personally I find calling it an Instant Rebate misleading and offensive. |

Cons: earpiece is fairly large, may not fit all.
Pros: very good sound quality, will indeed block outside noises. Comment:
I've been very satisfied so far. I had a Motorola and a Samsung bluetooth before and there worked well, but I found that regular highway noises made it often difficult to hear the conversation on conference call. the T1 does a nice job at sealing the ear for better audio quality.I just wish it was a bit lighter or had a silicone ear piece that had a stronger hold on the ear to wear only the earpiece without the hook. I have found that the hook is necessary for me.After 8 months of usage I ended up losing most of the silicone ear adapters... Customer service took forever to answer the phone (22 minutes) but was extremely helpful.Easy connection to multiple devices. I use it with 2 mobiles and also with my laptop for skype.Overall, this is the best quality audio I have experienced with Bluetooth devices and would recommend and buy again. |

Cons: Takes a little wiggling to get into earNot the most comfortable I've usedRubber covers seem useless - give me a 12V car USB instead
Pros: Call qualityEasy to use and well placed buttonsPower button is a slider (not a push-n-hold)Voice command - it talks to you!Well builtStandard mini USB charging Comment:
Overall, the best bang for the buck ($70 on sale) of all headsets I have ever used - 4.5 stars!I have used many headsets over the years (they have a habit of getting lost) and it compares to my (now MIA) $120 Jawbone for call quality (although the Jawbone did a slightly better job with noise cancellation) The buttons are easy to use and placed very well. You can adjust it during your call without accidentally pressing buttons (anyone who has used a Jawbone has dropped many a call) It comes with several rubber earpieces and several ear hooks, which should fit most. The rubber earpiece that fits me best is not the most comfortable. 30 minutes is about my max (others may have no problems) The rubber skins that come with it seem to be a gimmick, I would have preferred they included a 12V USB charger instead (but that`s what reward points are for!) As for the voice command, it works pretty well. I wasn`t able to sync it to the contact list on my Samsung Propel. But the basics are pretty cool none the less. It tells you the number of the caller, will give you battery and connections status. The charger is a standard mini USB connection (6`` cable included) |

Cons: -People have complained that they can hear themselves echoing back at them, unless I turn down the volume-strange voice commands...
Pros: -Seems to work for what I need it to do-I can hear people clearly-not over complicated Comment:
I bought this because one of my phone savy friends would not stop talking about how he loved his blueant bluetooth device, and they recently made it illegal to talk on cell phones while driving in Manitoba (it is perfectly legal to use a hands free device; go figure).So, this is apparently a bit bulkier compared to other Blueant blue tooth headsets, however I find it not bad at all and very lightweight that I sometimes forget that its in my ear. It came with various ear pieces so you could get the device to fit in your ear comfortably. If your worried about it falling out, two clips are provided to help secure it to your head (I do not need the clips myself) and it came with a silicon cover to help protect it if it does fall out.An ac to usb charger is provided, aswell a usb cable. this is a generic usb cable that a lot of phones I have seen use. As for weird voice commands, when I press the command button and it asks me for a voice command I have to say "OM" (like om-nom-nom im eating a sandvich) then it will say "activating voice commands" and you will hear a beep, at which point I can say peoples names and it will auto dial them. I have a Sony Ericsson C510 cell phone. Not sure if this is the head set, my phone, or user error while setting it up.There are definitely cheaper headsets out there. If you ever talk to someone and can barely make them out, its probably because they did get a cheaper headset, and you get what you pay for. |
Excellent headset in terms of quality and usage. Works great with my iPhone 3GS and Nokia N8 at the same time.
