BlueAnt Black X3 micro Bluetooth Headset - 091022

Short range, cannot get very far from phone without beeping indicating out-of-range. In today's world of standard usb chargers and ports, why on earth does this require a special charger not using a standard usb port. Dumb. Ear piece not very comfortable. Spend a little more and buy a headset that fits with more comfortable ear buds and a proper usb connector/charger.

Small, inexpensive headset with good voice quality and battery life. Easy to set up. My only preference would have been if the headset charged via mini-usb instead of the one that it uses, which is proprietary. Means that when you travel you have to bring an additional charging cable. But they do provide car, AC, and USB chargers.

This thing works great right out of the box. The volume gets loud enough (unlike other i have tried).its easy to switch between multiple phones (although just because the way bluetooth works sometimes disconnecting, reconnecting to another phone, and then trying to answer a call can sometimes take too long - and people are sent to voicemail - or you can just answer you phone like normal and then connect the headset). The only problem I have had is It won't stay in my ears good with out the over-the-ear clip but I think that might just be my ears.

This is my first bluetooth and I am extremely satisified with its performance. I can hear better with the bluetooth than on the phone and when I tell the receiver of my call that I am using a bluetooth they cannot believe how clear it is. My husband has a motorola bluetooth and it always sounds like he is in a cave when I talk to him and he always complains about having problems with it. I have had my Blue Ant for 2 weeks and it still charged from the initial charging. Since there are so many options for charging I am really not worried when it will need to be charged because it can be done from anywhere I will be. Also, the earpiece is really not that comfortable for me, but I am using it attached to the lanyard provided and just stick it in my ear when I get a call. I really like that feature. I think that for the price it is absolutely worth getting.

After playing with the headset for a couple of days, I was able to determine the flaws. Maybe it's with my Sumsung A900, but I could only go at most 5 feet before the thing starts beeping (stating out of range) and getting static. Sometimes it will beep and buzz (ready to become static) with the phone on my belt. It's very annoying when you're trying to talk or listen. Earpiece is suppose to be one size fit all, but it's fairly large. It fits in my ear (normal size ear), but after awhile, my ear will start to ach. It won't even fit in my wife's ear and I think her ear is large for a woman. I ended up getting her a Plantronic Discovery and she loves it! It has the same features as the this one, but without the flaws and cost only a little bit more. Earpiece has 3 sizes and it's entirely made of silicone "gel" instead of just a "gel" cover over plastic. Plus, it's much lighter. I also wish the A/C charger came as a wire instead of the short, flexible wand. I cannot use the outlet behind my nightstand, but have to plug it in a visible outlet away from my phone where it can be easily forgotten. Blueant did have it packaged at one time, but replaced it with the wand. However, it works great as a car charger. Overall, it's not bad for $40, but I would pay a little more for better quality. Pro: High volume, small size, multiple connections, sleek design Con: Short distant before static and warning beep, one size earpiece to large, no option to check battery life

Extremely satisfied with the performance of this product. No hassle setup, and the product comes with an array of charging accessories. Excellent clarity and I've had great luck with battery life after charging. No reservation recommendation.

This earpiece is just great. Ive tried other bluetooth earpieces with my Treo 700p and have had issues with all except for one and this one. The ability to connect to more than one phone is awesome and the size and weight are great. Ive only had one other good earpiece and that one just died. I use this one now even more than i used my other one because this one is just great and comfortable to wear allllll day.

This lightweight bluetooth earpiece works quite well. As with most earpieces, however, it's not super comfortable, limiting how long I am willing to wear it. I recently switched wireless carriers, and for some reason it has not worked as well with my new phone as it did with the old one (both Motorola Razr phones, but different service providers and some differences in functionality). Not sure yet which is at fault, the phone or the ear piece, but it takes too long to establish a link between the phone and the ear piece.

Pros: Great value. Can make calls, answer calls with one press of the button (if cellphone is enabled with voice dialing). Sound is clear. <Br><Br> Cons: Inner ear cover is too large for my ear, so that fit isn't the best. This item also comes with an optional ear arm, but it is too flimsy to remain stable. Ear arm difficult to stay on and conflicts with sunglass arm, or even my hair! My old Motorola never had this problem.

I purchased the BlueAnt X3 Micro because of its ability to sync with multiple devices (up to 3). I have sync'd mine with my Razr, my wife's Razr and my corporate Blackberry. I can switch between devices with the buttons on the unit. The buttons are a bit small and some functions require two buttons to be pressed at the same time. While I have found this to be a bit difficult when on the ear, it should become easier as I get used to the configuration. The sound quality is good and my phones voice activated dialing features have worked flawlessly, recognizing my requests without any problems.

I use this with my Samsung A900 phone and it works perfectly. (In contrast, I have heard that Motorola bluetooth headsets have not seemed to work well with this phone.) The headset is actually clearer than using my phone itself, particularly because the volume can be raised higher than that on the phone. I have experienced absolutely no connection problems and no static. I am pleasantly surprised and I highly recommend this item.

This little BlueAnt is a great little device. It has a very good range, I leave the phone (Sanyo Katana) inside the kitchen and I can walk all the way to my son's room (about 35 feet) without loosing the connection. It takes some time to get the feeling of the tiny buttons, but now we are used to them. And on a full charge it lasts about 2-3 days. My wife and I love our X3 micro BlueAnt bluetooth headset.

This headset is very convienent with the charger being a simple usb conector and 2 adaptors (one for car, one for wall). There is also a lanyard provided that is great. I'll never loose my headset again. It is also very lightweight and comfortable. It adjusts to different ears well, also

I received this from my wife as a birthday gift; since she's the research queen, I'm sure it was a "good deal". As for functionality, I am very satisfied - haven't noticed any static issues and all of my phone conversations have been very clea
