I've never had a bluetooth headset before, but now I don't know how I lived without one. Easy to use, great battery life, and everyone who I talk to says the sound is great (even better than when I'm talking straight into the handset).
My last earpiece lasted several days without having to charge. If noise canceling feature is the main reason behind this purchase you should look elsewhere. Only other downside is battery life. Earpiece is small and fits nicely. This one only lasts one or two days at most.Depending on the needs, this may or may not be a good deal for the buyer. Good features. Price was a good bargain. It was marketed as noise canceling, but people on the other side of the line have complained about background noise.
The clarity and the volume are excellent. All in all, it is a very good bluetooth. I really like the BlueAnt Z9i. The major problem that I have with the BlueAnt is that the earpiece that goes over the ear to hold the bluetooth in place is too long and makes the BlueAnt stick out a little from the lower ear. I recommend it. Amazon offers it at a great price. I checked around before ordering from Amazon.
More often than not, I find myself having to delete the device pairing from the laptop or the phone and starting from scratch. In theory the Blueant z9i should work both with a laptop and with a phone. If you want something that just works without hassle, this may not be what you're looking for. I don't know whether the problem is the BlueAnt, the phone, the laptop, or Windows, and don't feel like trying to debug it. After a little fiddling, I was able to get it to work with both. But the pairing and connections are unreliable.
After a moderate wait I was able to get a live support rep. What kind or condescending product support/warranty is this - product support has no business asking about product price. While the product was delivered promptly enough, alas - it wouldn't even switch on.
At this point - it became pretty obvious that he'd lost all interest in the call and wanted to just get me off the phone. I highly doubt their product warranty means anything to them or - or even if they will stand behind it. Then I asked about their product warranty - I even have a product warranty card - he said, "call the seller first or return it to them.".
I ordered the Blue Ant X5i from Shopcell - an Amazon market place vendor. - send it back to the seller.".When I mentioned the description says - brand new and it arrived in new packaging his answer didn't change. Their product support and brand standards are probably just like their product - substandard and indifferent
My first step was to call "BLUEANT" customer support (North America). We went over diagnostics, but within the first minute of the call, his question was "How much did you pay for this product.".When I answered $30 on Amazon.com - his response was " Must have been refurbished.
