New Best Blutooth Headset!

In my never ending search for the ultimate BT headset, I have a new favorite; the Blueant Q2..
Just came out a few weeks ago, and, not easily available, except at ATT retail stores, this guy has it all; best sound, clear and loud, wonderful, lightweight fit, no breakup while walking around, and some awesum interactive features, BING 411 being the most notable..
Blows away my Jawbone Icon, tons better than the T1, and, frankly, I am totally impressed in the one day I have had it.
Its expensive, at 129, but, I am sure it will be around 100 bucks once they start shipping them in earnest.
Dont miss out on this one....

I'm planning on picking up one of these next month when I get my FinAid reimbursement back from the Govt. Hopefully I don't lose this one like my Z9i.
This site has them on pre-order for $100 but I don't know trustworthy and/or reliable they are.

go to the Bluant site, and order it direct from them; use this coupon code to get it for 99 dollars:
colony
code is good until August 31st..

Yep I got the same code emailed to me I plan on orderimg one soon

Technology changes every second, so before you say yours is the best, Sound ID has a new model coming out with an app where you can adjust the incoming sounds levels, not just volume. They are suppose to be coming out with an android also!! but this will give you an idea of what it can do.

Well, was looking at sound id, but...
-NO A2DP without a firmware update, and no MAC software to update the firmware; only 32 bit windows
-NO Android app like the Iphone app that makes it a cool headset
Pay 130+ for a headset with no A2DP now a days? Not a chance
its a nice headset for Iphone users, but a waste of $$ for Androiders

The Sound ID hs looks pretty good. The feature I like the most, which I have wanted for a long time with other sets, is the tracking feature (only [q] is how far it extends though). I've already lost one $80 headset and my $20 replacement was stolen by a former co-worker. I also like that is touch sensitive. The only deal breaker is the lack of an Android app which will hopefully be out by the time I'm ready for purchase (next month or two). The iPhone app looks damn cool! Oh and firmware shmirmware - If you can flash an EVO you can flash this too.

The new Blueant Q2 will call out the names of incoming callers...a feature I've been waiting for...
I'll probably get it...

As long as their names are in your phone's phone book...

correct...which is all I need...

My T1 does that also. I think its a feature of most of the new BlueAnt headset.

true, they both do that..
The major differences between the T1 snd the Q2 are
-Bing 411 on the Q2 is very cool
-Clearer sound on the Q2
- NO BREAKUP on the Q2 when listening to music and walking around
Both are very nice headsets, with similar features, but the Q2 is definitely an upgrade from the T1; is also smaller than the T1

Smaller than the T1 Coming from a Plantronics Explorer, the T1 looks and feels like I have a pebble hanging onto my ear.
I would jump on the Q2, but I think I will wait until Christmas time. Hopefully people would have had some time with it and the price has gone down

yeah, even with the coupon code from blueant, its still 99 dollars...
you know, you could sell your T1 on Ebay for around 40 bucks, which would help lower the cost of the Q2..

Eh its a good idea, but I think I will pass. Never sold anything on eBay before and really do not have the time to hassle with it now. I think I will just wait it out and see how everyone likes the Q2.
Who knows...maybe by the time Christmas comes around BlueAnt will be releasing the T2

I snagged the Jabra EXTREME for $49.99 at Staples... I love it so far... A2DP is awesome

i couldn't get any production picture of the watch.

Products availability from October 2011.
meh
thanks for the post though

I have never owned a watch that could go flat after 2 hours! Or last 48 hours at most.
But there were some interesting features though

I couldn't resist so I had to pre-order one. Yeah, wish there were productions pictures. I like the features also but Oct 2011 is a long time. Hope things go well for me & others that pre-ordered.

I like the titanium one

This looks pretty awesome, but the price is kind of an obstacle ^^

Imagine if they made a waterproof one. You could post to XDA forums while snorkeling. " Shark heading my way, will post more later..."

Haha!

Am I the only one who noticed this isn't a phone at all? Its a bluetooth headset and bluetooth data (bluetooth tethering) device, and yes I realize that means it does have many cool features regardless, but still calling it a phone isn't technically accurate. You still need a phone.
I think this would have been very cool if it had a sim card slot, so I could theoretically pop my sim in the watch, then tether via bt or wifi my phone to it for the occasional use on the phone, using the watch as my primary phone while at work (setting up A/V equipment its easier to keep my nice clean GSII in my pocket away from dirty hands and heavy gear). Also, even with its small size, it would have been nice to have 320x240 as the resolution as that would have made it compatible with many android apps as they wouldn't know the difference between the watch and say an HTC hero with the same resolution. Hopefully version 2.0 will have a few of my dream features, but for now just an interesting thing to see...

A Hero has a 320x480 screen, but that's just nitpicking, agree with everything you said

SOUND QUALITY (when compared with devices equipped with the Wolfson DAC )

I am probably going for the Note, but I will be testing the sound of the GNexus, the minute it hits the showrooms here in Holland.....and if its sound is as good as or even better than my sgs's (wolfson dac) ....that could change my mind....
Anyway, for those who already own a Galaxy nexus AND have experience with phones equipped with the Wolfson DAC, like the sgs, i-phone and more, how is the GNexus's sound in comparison?
Thanks

Probably going to have to wait for the audiophile or music freaks to get a satisfactory answer to that. A lot of us are still waiting for that answer.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.

Is this thing already being sold or not?
Here in Holland , if I order now, it will take 4 weeks

I pre-ordered mine @ expansys.nl and they deliver on December 3rd. Supercurio inspected the sound hardware already and it looks quite ok. its up to google how they impanted it into the OS, But im not worried cuz im sure things get tweaked and optimised overtime.

If you read better, it says expected December 3rd. That's slightly different.
Mine is expected at the end of November. Bottom line is that they simply don't know when The Phone will be delivered.

I tried to find the Supercurio info that you mentioned regarding the sound hardware for Galaxy Nexus but searching Google I did not find anything. Do you have a link?
BTW. I just looked at the expansys UK site and they have the 32GB model (for others looking for this version of the phone), but no price listed yet:
www expansys com/google-galaxy-nexus-32gb-black-224348/
Sorry, I don't have enough posts to make a proper link.

I already knew Supercurio thoughts....
I was hoping that there enough users out there with that thing in hands, already testing...
I guess the selling still have to warm up
I buy my decices always on belsimpel.nl . they have good prices, good service and an office here in Groningen, where I can pick it up...
GNexus 560 Euros...
Tje price of the Note went down to 546 euros

Who got beats headphones with their uk HOX?

Hi guys, I didn't get my one x from phones4u, just spoke to them apparently they put it through on the wrong deal and they have messed it up im not a happy bunny over it.
Im thinking of telling them I will go elsewhere but that then leads to the topic question, some people have been getting proper beats headphones with their orders. Can I ask those that got them and not just the cheap htc headsets what network/deal/store they went with?

I got mine from Vodafone. Ordered on the phone but they messed up the order, delivering today to a store that's actually CLOSED today. Luckily they helped me out in-store yesterday so I already have my nice, shiny new One X... with urBeats headphones (entry-level Beats 'phones, but still worth about £100). This is on a £41/month contract (free handset), but the free headphones offer applies across the board, so long as you're one of the first 10,000 customers. Go into a Vodafone store today and you'll probably be lucky, but hurry as I get the impression that this is gonna be one hell of a successful launch for HTC, especially given the buzz created by their 4-page cover ad in yesterday's Metro newspaper.

hello mate. i done a pre-order through 3 and did not get the beats headphones. what i have done now though, due to them not activating my account yet, gave them a lot of bs and told them i am not happy so i want the earphones as a compensation for all the hassle they are putting me through.
so the guy said once my account gets activated they will be sending them out to me. but i read some guys through vodafone got good deals and get the earphones with it..might be worth having a look there

You should definitely get compensation. I didnt get the headphones from Three, but they did give me £50 credit after I complained - ideal situation really as the Urbeats headphones are pretty mediocre

They said someone will be calling me back in the next 30 mins, to discuss the problem and put the order on the correct deal. I will see what they say.
I was hoping it would be another network other than voda that gave them three would be my ideal choice but oh well, its not a must have but im sure as hell not going out to buy a beats headphones myself but would have liked to have one to see how they are on the phone with the beats feature turned on. Oh well will stick to my sennheiser's if I cant get them as a freebie

Probably sound just as good anyway.. this beats gimmick is ridiculous lol. Plattans sound just as good, look better and are 1/3 the price. Either way, free upbeats/Compensation is still better than nothing, good luck mate!

hmm they haven't called me yet either going to call them up on my lunch and see what they have to say for themselves. I will push for compensation but who knows atm

Are Vodafone giving earphones or headphones? I think the lowest earphones are the iBeats ones which retail for 79.99 and also come in matching white/red to the white HOX and red Beats logo.

voda's site says urBeats headphones for all one x and one s orders, but its limited to the first 10,000 orders.

If you have choice, always take money compensation. Beats is overmarketed mediocre stuff, it's well overpriced too. On the phone side, there is nothing but a software bass boost (worse than in any decent audio player). Phones - you will get better sound from other brands and for less money!
But like someone said, it's better than nothing, UNLESS it's calculated into the price, then it's not worth it. To me Beats is worth the same as the iPhone-bundled 1Euro-worth white headphones people use because they think it came from Apple so it has to be great.
Beats is marketing its brand and I see more and more people with those headphones

oh well spoke to them they have cancelled my upgrade order they cant do it, they were upgrading me on tmobile but their back office team is saying they wont do tmobile anymore. I then said id take it on three she said we dont do them either so guess im shopping elsewhere, three have a good cashback deal via quidco will probably use them.

How does this deal that I am tempted to take sound Drefsab?

Holding off for now just because cancellation fee from Vodafone is still through the roof and waiting to hear about the SIII. This deal however, is sweet imo

Well, I just called 3 about this, and have been told that I'll be getting a pair of headphones in the post. Although they said they will be taking it up with the manager of the guy who placed my order, which makes me sad for him, but he did promise the headset.

The buggers at 3 sent me another regular HTC headset, and then have the nerve to tell me that I should just go and buy some Beats head sets as they don't have any instock. Then I'll need to send them proof of purchase and they will adjust my account for me.
So I should be out of pocket by about £50 - £70 because they lied to us about what we got. Should have just gone with Carphone Warehouse or P4U and gotten a media link or xbox and sell it.

Bluetooth for everyday use

Hey guys,
Looking to get a new bluetooth and I have been at Best Buy and Walmart lately trying out a couple with no luck. Anyone have any recommendations for a good bluetooth. Im basically need it to work when driving and walking outside (the last couple I tried people couldnt really hear me or vice versa). I dont often listen to my music on my phone but in the rare times I do, it would be nice if it would play via my headset. I know the saying you get what you pay for, but since I dont use it often Im not looking to spend a lot on one (a $100 is really pushing it).
Any ideas or recommendations?
Thanks

I usually use jawbones they work really well I havent had any issues
I have both the Jawbone Icon and Era, they are both nice the Era is better noise cancelling but yeah if you don't want to spend too much the Jawbone Icon is pretty reasonably priced
