BlueAnt Q2 Scarlet Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/ Voice Control and Voice Dial BlueAnt Q2 Scarlet Over-The-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/ Voice Control and Voice Dial

Pros: When it works it is good

Cons: It was ridiculous to install, it reads text messages ONLY sometimes, voice commands do not stay on you have to repeat each time, the battery is now dead after 2 to 3 hours and NOT all talk time

Pros: Fits nicely on the ear. Blue ant software recognizes voice very well and good audio quality

Cons: To make a phone call using your voice the software patches you into what ever software is on your phone. I have an android and the phone never understands what I say. I say the command open calendar it calls my high school girlfriend, I say call Dad it call my high school girlfriend. Pretty much every command calls my high school girlfriend... I just initiate calls on the actual phone instead of by voice so not a huge deal.

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: I purchased two of these so it's highly unlikely the unit is defective. The following issues were encountered using an iPhone 5:

- Randomly unpairs.
- Frequently unpairs when you mess with the volume controls on the headset.
- Audio reception starts to break up when the phone is more than 3' away (same phone has 30' range with every other headset I've used).
- iPhone 5 does not show on screen battery level indicator.
- Battery life when listening to audio (podcasts) is only 3-4 hours.

Other Thoughts: Truly disappointed with this device. I'm switching back to Motorola CommandOne, HX550, and Elite Flip models. This one looks like it's built better than Motorola, but it simply doesn't work as well.

Pros: Clear on both ends
Good battery life
light weight
Comfortable

Cons: During android updates can get confused but that android not the headset

Other Thoughts: Great headset. I'ved owned 2 of these. Gave the first to my son. We both love them. I feel quailifed to recommend this since I have owned several headsets thru the years...Jawbone, Plantronics Voyager Pro(which is also a great headset) and several others. The Bing stuff is a gimmick but all other functions work great. It works with the GPS also just say " "Navigate to" {location}. You need the app on your phone but all late versions of android have it. No need for Vlingo or the like. I don't even bother with the Blueant app but try it you might like it.
