User Reviews

I've used the headset for about a month now and overall it is a good headset. My only complaints are that it doesn't fit in my ear very well and falls out / feels loose all the time. Luckily it has the ear hoop. My other complaint is the user interface is not intuitive. I have an iPhone, so I always want to use my Voice Control, not the blueant commands. Luckily this head set does have a way to activate the iPhone Voice Control, but I wish i could just disable the headset features all together so it go straight to my phone with one click. I also find it very unintuitive and difficult to have to double click to end a call. I've had many times trying not to leave a message on a VM and I end up leaving one because i couldn't end the call...it should be one click answer, one click end call. I also have problems if I leave the headset on and return to it and make it connect to my phone. It says it connects, but i get no audio. So this headset is not perfect. No one has complained about sound quality though so that is good. -- Good headset for the money, could be better...

Great product with amazing sound quality, the only issue with my Nokia N900 is that sometimes the call does not drop and I have to turn it off and on again.

Other than this, I am a very satisfied customer. -- Good enough for the price

I've tried em all. Jabra, Motorola, Jawbone and Plantronics. This one works better than them all. Its comfortable, loud and the voice activation works amazingly well. I was a little skeptical at first but i was extremely happy with the performance. But...that's not why i'm here. I had no intention of creating a review for this because it had enough reviews. However, that all changed because of what happened this past weekend. Because this thing is so small, i accidentally left it in my shirt pocket and threw my shirt into the hamper. When laundry time came around i threw the shirt with the headset into the laundry not realizing what i had just done. I only realized my mistake when i went to the washer after the cycle and was putting the clothes into the dryer i saw the device in the bottom of the wash bin. Boy was i sad and a little angry at what i had done. However, upon further inspection it still appeared to be in perfect brand new condition with no visual damage whatsoever. So i left it on my desk for about a week to dry off and decided to plug it in and give it a charge a few days ago. To my surprise, the light turned red signaling that it was charging. So i laughed and decided to wait things out. After a couple hours i fired it up and hit the button and i heard the words "say a command". Still a little skeptical i told it "am i connected". Then it said..."attempting to connect......your phone is connected." At that moment my jaw dropped and i have since decided to become a Blue Ant user for life. I used it in a 60 minute conference call this morning and it was as if nothing changed. I seriously think they should market this device as water resistant. I would not hesitate to wear this in the rain...i have that much faith in it. -- This survived a trip through my washer!!!

The BlueAnt V1 Headset is great I like both it's size, appearance and it's excellent sound quality. It is the perfect headset. -- BlueAnt does it again

After reading the reviews on Amazon I thought this headset was a sure win. However, once I got the device, and used it in a noisy environment (walking outside & airports) I discovered that the headset wasn't all it is made out to be. When being used in a quiet environment people could hear me very well; however, when used in a noisy environment, even with noise isolation set to MAX, I was frequently drowned out and listeners complained of noise artifacts garbling my voice. My other issue with this device is that it seems the speaker EQ is set a little bass heavy. So people are very hard to hear as their voices are artificially deep. I'll admit that my hearing isn't the best, but I do not experience this issue with my new Plantronics 975.

I was using this headset with a Motorola Droid, and it is possible that the unit I got was defective as my issues do not seem to be prevalent with other users.

One thing I discovered while using this device is that there is little need for the ear loop, especially when using it in conjunction with the Comply foam tips. However, the tie clip that holds the ear piece does create a strange fit holding the device away from your face awkwardly. Luckily the tie clip is easily removed with a paper clip. Simply push the pin out that holds the clip and viola it comes right off with no damage to the headset! -- Poor sound quality, Poor voice isolation
