Length:: 1:30 MinsBottom Line: With an excellent fit, tons of features, pretty good sound as demonstrated by the attached video review, and low price this headset provides very good performance and tremendous value.

The Details:

My big complaint with any headset is the fit. Getting earphones to fit has always been a problem for me.

This headset arrived with two very thin rubber ear cushions, both the same size, and two ear hooks. There isn't a lot of flexibility in sizing options. In my case there was no way to keep this in my ear without the hook and with the hook the best it would do is dangle.

For other bluetooth headsets I've been able to use the 1 Pair of Large Clear Jabra Ear Gels for Jawbone 1 Jawbone 2 Jawbone Prime Samsung WEP200 WEP300 WEP500 Jabra JX10 C120 C100 C150 to get an excellent fit. The good news is that by removing the (in my opinion worthless) rubber ear cushion and hook and wrapping a thin strop of duct tape around where the cushion used to be the Jabra Ear Gels perfectly! Now the headset stays firmly and comfortably in my ear. As a bonus, there is a notch in the Jabra gel that aligns perfectly with the small charging socket on the headset earpiece stem. I can recharge the headset without having to remove anything.

Another nice feature; one of the available voice commands is saying "Phone Command". That, for the iPhone at least, gives immediate access to the voice recognition phone features like voice dialing and getting the current time.

So, why not 5-stars you ask? Because the headset, for whatever reason, does not (currently) support a2dp. What that means to you is that you can't use it to stream audio between it and your device; for example to use it as a headset while chatting on Skype. I sure hope the Overloards at BlueAnt will use their firmware upgrade powers to fix this and then I'll come back and fix the rating.

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

I had the V1, and now I have the V1x. I love the voice commands, and it controls the voice commands on both the iphone 3gs, and the Motoralla droidx. I have pretty small ears, so it fits comfortably into my right ear. The only issue is, the charger plugs into the same location that the ear piece is, and if you pull it off the charger too fast, it will break the ear piece off. How do I know, because this is my 5th one. The good thing is it has a 2 year warranty. So as long as u buy it off of amazon, u will always have access to your reciept, because you need it for warranty exchange through Blue ant. And warranty exchange is pretty painless.... I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that I've gone through so many of them...

This is my 5th blue ant blue tooth since I purchased my brickberry 4 years ago.

Unfortunately, the first one broke after a year, I lost the second one, purchased the rugged T-1 for my son and he still has it and loves it.

I thought we should both have two on hand, so I picked this one up for him and one more for myself. I LOVE this one and have no problems with it.

My son is a t...
