BlueAnt Wireless just released its new hands-free speakerphone, the S4. It attaches to any car visor and connects wirelessly to most Bluetooth handsets. Simply turn it on and go. Reading the manual is not required; the S4 will vocally guide you through setup.
Once paired with your handset, you can use the hands-free device without ever having to take your phone out of your pocket. The S4 offers a bunch of features although some seem gimmicky at best. → Read More
Bluetooth headsets generally take a good amount of abuse. They are after all thrown in pockets with keys, tossed in bags , thrown on desks, and suffer countless other forms of stress over their lifetime. Thankfully most are priced as throwaway items. However, the just-announced BlueAnt T1 isn’t a normal headset. This little guy seems like one tough bastard. → Read More
Bluetooth headsets are great in a car but even more awesome on a motorcycle. It’s not like you can use your phone while cruising down the road on a bike. You might drop the phone and no one wants that. BlueAnt is the latest company to release a system that fully utilizes all the capabilities of Bluetooth for motorcycle riders. → Read More
BlueAnt Q1 owners take note, your headset can now stream audio via the A2DP protocol as long as you update the firmware. Apparently the ability was added after a bunch of customers requested the function. But I’ve found it’s one of those functions that sounds great, but is actually a novelty and is somewhat lame. → Read More
BlueAnt has a few hot devices out this CTIA. The first is the Supertooth Light, a $99 car system with mini microphone and comparatively easy set up. The Supertooth mounts to your sun visor and lasts 15 hours of talk time or 800 hours of standby, which means it can hang out up there until the next presidential administration. → Read More
Though BlueAnt is calling this a speakerphone, it’s just a full-duplex, high-performance speaker. Well, not just a full-duplex, high-performance speaker of course, but the Supertooth Light is for hands-free use of your Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices (up to five can be simultaneously paired with the unit). The $99 Supertooth Light features Clear Voice Capture and Digital Signal Processor technologies for noise and echo cancellation and to improve voice quality. It will also automatically adjust speaker volume to compensate for loud engine noise or if the windows are down or if your kids are hopped up on sugar and won’t keep quiet. It’s designed to attach directly to your visor and easily flips over so it’s always in front of you whether the visor is up or down. There’s support voice dial activation, redial and call reject, too and the battery runs for 15 hours of talk time. Oh and that little stick on the side is the mic, which can be retracted when not in use. → Read More
I like the BlueAnt X3 Bluetooth headset: It’s small, lightweight, connects to three devices at the same time including your Windows or Mac PC for VoIP calls, and it’s reasonably priced at $69. And now, I can add “comes in six colors” to my list of likes. Just in time for the holiday season you’ll be able to pick up an X3 in black, cool white, hot pink, gold, bronze and red. A little disappointed there’s no blue option, especially with the product being made by BlueAnt with Bluetooth, but you can’t always get what you want. BlueAnt Wireless → Read More
