The new reigning champion of Bluetooth headsets
By David Miller
Let me start by saying I have a TON of bluetooth headsets: Jabra, Jawbone, Blueant, Motorola, etc., etc., etc. The Blueant T1 is the reigning champion. Why? The battery life is great. I listen to a ton of music throughout the day and I can get 5-6 hours out of the device. That's solid play folks.I like the voice control as well. Driving down the road and a call comes in, if it's in your dialing directory, it will announce the name and you can either say "Answer" or "Ignore". You never have to lift a finger.You can touch the MFB and ask for "Check Battery" and it will let you know the charge level.It works SUPER with my iPhone (both 3GS and 4). Click the MFB and say "Phone commands" and you'll hear the iPhone "Beep Beep" and you can issue any valid iPhone command.The wind reduction is also outstanding. I can't attest to exactly 22mph but I can have a great conversation on a windy day. It may work great at 22mph, I just haven't been that precise.What's there not to like? I just bought one for my wife as well. You won't be sorry.

BlueAnt T1
By IWonder
I've been using a T1 for a few months now. It's a good news/bad news situation.Voice quality is good on both end of the calls. Setup is easy. I don't find the voice control particularly useful, but some people might. The biggest problem is securing the T1 to your ear. The over the ear option is clunky and not particularly comfortable. The in-ear pads are comfortable, but not secure. Even with the largest ear pad, the headset is constantly falling out of my ear. Worse, the ear pad's are difficult to put on do not stay securely on the headset. That means if you keep the T1 in your pocket and pull it out to use it, you're likely to find the ear pad doesn't come with it.Because the ear pad is constantly falling off, I managed to lose it, meaning I had to pay $16 (including shipping) for 2 replacement ear pads just to be able to use the headset I paid $60 for. The USB recharging cord is also ridiculously short, but it's a standard connector, so you can pretty easily find a replacement.I want to like the T1. But having to spend a couple of minutes fiddling with the ear pads practically every time I want to use it and having it constantly fall out of my ear makes it not particularly useful. I can't recommend it unless you are satisfied with the over-the-ear option.

By Mills
This is my first Bluetooth headset and I love it so far. I got it mainly for walking around the house while doing chores and talking on the phone, but it is also very useful while driving since I have not gotten an in-car hands-free solution yet.Comfort is good. There are several different in-ear attachments and you're bound to find one that fits well enough. It wouldn't stay in my ear on its own, so I used the over-the-ear attachment that it comes with. The over-the-ear attachment is somewhat fragile as it's made from hard clear plastic, and they could have made it a little more flexible, but it's reasonable sturdy and comfortable. Plus, it comes with two of these attachments in case you lose or break one. I can easily wear the earpiece with little to no discomfort for 3-4 hours a day, if its broken up into 1 hour segments. If I had to use it for 8 hours a day straight then I could see it becoming a little less comfortable. The key is to take it off now and then.Compatibility is good with my BlackBerry Bold 9700. It paired up with no problems whatsoever. Although, I did have to disable "Encryption" in the Bluetooth settings for this device on the phone to get it work properly with T-Mobile's UMA (Wi-Fi calling) service. So, if you're having this problem then try that fix.Updatability is a nightmare. Absolutely do not try to update the firmware whatsoever. They just released this new update program and it is not ready for prime time. I tried to update, because I thought it might fix the UMA problem, and the program crashed and I spent an hour on the phone with tech support (plus a 10-minute wait on hold) to un-brick my headset. On the up side, their tech support is very good.Range is good. I can walk most places in a 2000 sq. ft. home with the phone in a central location and still have a good connection. I can even go into the backyard and garage a bit with the phone still in the living room or kitchen before it starts to get some static.Sound quality is good for calls, and I haven't heard any complaints from the other end either. The wind and noise cancellation seems to work pretty well. A2DP sound quality could be better, but it's acceptable. If the volume is too loud, then try TURNING IT DOWN. I will admit that the voice which announces the name of your device once it's connected it quite annoying, but the other built-in male voices are pleasant.The voice command features are really fantastic as well here, and these were the deal-sealer for me. The "Call Information" command will dial Microsoft's Bing-411, an 800 number that tells you everything from local businesses to news and weather. The only qualm I have about the voice commands is that when you say "Phone Commands" there's this unnecessarily long description of what it's accessing for you. It should just go straight to the Phone's command prompt, or perhaps play the description once, not every time.The skins that it comes with are nice, and seem like they add some protection, but they make the buttons too difficult to press. The buttons that are normally raised, become recessed within the skin.Its also lightweight, has good battery life, charges with a regular micro-USB (although comes with a very short cord). All together, a good unit for a good price.
