Blue Ant's got a Bluetooth! This small over the ear unit has more capabilities than we can cover here. Just a few are: automatic pairing and re-pairing with your Bluetooth device, the ability to quickly switch between up to three devices, and dual microphones for an effective voice isolation system, and a USB connection for both recharging and for firmware upgrades.
You can talk for up to five and a half hours, or stand by for up to two hundred hours, and the powerful lithium polymer battery recharges in two to three hours. It was an award winner at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show for its innovative design.
Few things are a matter of taste to the extent that an earpiece is, so do your homework and go slow. If this is the one for you, you'll know it, and it'll be right here waiting for you. Happy hunting!
Cons: I'm using BlueAnt Z9 Firm. 3.1 with Sonyericsson W950I for two days, and during calls I hear hiss. In quiet environment the hiss is annoying. Plus, the other party of the call is complaining that the noise canceling doesn't work and my voice is breaking. I tried BlueAnt and my PC Sony VAIO VGN-FE890 with Skype and also with cell phone SonyEricsson S700i. Problems are remaining the same on both devices: the hiss is intense, and my voice is breaking. I have a reply from BlueAnt customer support that they have had reports of compliance issues with Sony Ericsson phones. I tried BlueAnt with Blackberry 8800. I have no problems at all. The sound is clear, I have no hiss. the other party hears my voice very clear. I'm sorry, but I'm going to return my unit.

BlueAnt Z9
Reviewed By: GordonH on 10/31/2007
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This unit is really light, but well made. The volume buttons are easy to access and use. The dual mic/voice isolation technology works extremely well. The device is also software upgradeable. I tried it while driving putting the windows up/down. In normal mode, it didn't handle wind noise from the driver's side, but did for all other windows. (But neither did the Plantronics Voyager 510) I compared the Z9 to the 510 (highly rated by CNET and others), and was informed by people I called that the Z9 was louder and clearer (ie, sounded closer). I also made numerous calls to my voicemail using both units under various conditions and listened to them. The Max isolation mode cut out 95% of the wind noise created by the open window tests I did. Very impressive results.
Cons: The unit came with v1.0 software, and upgrading it to v3.2 took awhile. The unit is so small, I will have to make sure I do not lose it.
Other Thoughts: I had also purchased the new Plantronics Voyager 520, thinking I would do a real-time side by side comparison, and just pay the restocking fee for one of them. I never opened the 520, and will just keep the Z9.

an earful
Reviewed By: solus on 9/10/2007
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: noise suppression actually works usb charger, usb cable to charge via laptops etc., upgradeable firmware, firmware that IS new and improved from blueant, teensy-weensy size very cool looking not like a piece of a jewellery at all (for a guy that's cool!)
Cons: it is an earful. You have to have a bigger ear canal to fit this sucker. not very nice if you are a left-eared person, the ear hook flips but the buttons are now at the bottom.
Other Thoughts: Switching voice isolation modes comes with a voice announcement. While its cool, it momentarily cuts off the sound so you cant hear the caller.

Best headset I've tried to date
Reviewed By: soloz on 12/19/2008
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Small, good sound quality, works better in windy areas than most.
Cons: the clip does not securely hold the headset on your shirt. I've 'lost' it twice so far because the clip did not hold as it was supposed to. It disappeared from hanging on a net on my sun visor just 2 days ago and is still MIA. I'll likely have to order a new headset. I may just go with a cheap unit incase I loose it again (or in this case the person driving my car looses it.)

BlueAnt Z9 Review
Reviewed By: on 12/15/2008
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I have been using this for 2 months now and am very happy with this headset. I upgraded to the Z9i softwware (google it) and it operates as a brand new z9i for half the price. Stays in the ear well without the loop and the battery seems to hold up. No complaints
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Upgrade this to the Z9i software and you are good to go.
