blueant bluetooth q3

2013-07-17 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all,

As subject above suggest, have anyone come across or own the Blueant Bluetooth 
headset?

It has some promising features, e.g. able to pair two device at the same time, 
3 ways conference call, etc.
It also got quite a high raiting from products review like CNET etc.

If you do come across or happen to own one, how does it compare to the 
pantronic voyager or the jawborn bluetooth headset?

Thanks.

Hi Joanne,,

If you plan on using the BlueAnt Q3 with an iPhone 5, make sure that you get 
feedback from someone who has applied the latest firmware update.  The initial 
reviews  all cited problems with dropped calls and bizarre sounds when this 
model was paired with the iPhone 5, only (not with the iPhone 4 or 4S).  A 
number of manufacturers have had to do firmware releases because of the way 
Bluetooth functions were implemented in the iPhone 5.  Reviews of the Q3 model 
with the new firmware are quite recent -- only two weeks ago for the Cult of 
the Mac, for example.  The U.S. Amazon site has a review from someone who 
bought this model in April, on the strength of his previous experience with the 
BlueAnt Q2, and returned it because of the BlueTooth performance (with a note 
that he fully expected to get this again when the new firmware was released.)

BlueAnt firmware updates are straightforward, but are only available on the 
Windows platform, despite the fact they've been stating they have Mac versions 
in preparation for over 3 years.  Jawbone has frequent firmware updates, and a 
Mac version of the updated, but their  MyTalk web site has pretty bad 
accessibility, and I would just advise you to get sighted assistance if you 
have to use it.  

I'll let you hear from current users of these products.  HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

I ordered one and returned it because I got the Aftershokz. I read some good 
reviews, but someone on the list said that they read that it had problems 
with the iPhone 5. Supposedly Blueant was going to release a firmware 
upgrade. This was a few months ago, so hopefully whatever problems there 
were have been resolved.
