 "Very vey very bad stereo headset" | 2009-11-03 |
| - Reviewed By devilmaycry20202 |
This headset has to be the worst I have ever tried I can't believe that people actually give it more than one star. I have been using this for quite a while and can really say that this headset is very low quality in the music department, the sound is too distorted feels like a weak FM signal, and the range when you connect directly to the phone is terrible unless the device is in a certain position it it will skip like crazy its insane it feels like an infrared signal when it gets obscured. Even when using the streamer its the same low quality sound but with more range but you will lose the functionality of the bluetooth (pausing, forwarding..etc).
when using it to talk to people its great sound is clear and the other party hears you pretty well, but I am sure you could find another headset that can do that.
I bought this so I can work out while listing to music from my device but it keeps losing signal and not to mention the low quality sound, I cannot recommend this no matter what its useless as a stereo headset and to expensive to be a normal headset. I tried to see if I can update the firmware but the website does not support this model anymore nad I could not get any help in the matter.
Also, it comes in a cheap plastic bag like its used when I gave a negative feed back to the seller he said that they come like this from the manufacturer to be sold cheaper, the seller should have stated that in the description which he failed to so.
Again I do not recommend this. |

 "Purchased 2 X5's. 1 worked for a year, the other for 2 months." | 2009-10-12 |

BlueAnt no longer sells or supports the X5 or any other stereo headset. All information about this product simply disappeared from their website.
My 1st X5 worked well for just over a year, then the audio streamer simply stopped lighting up. Replacing the battery did not solve the problem.
I misplaced my receipt, so I was unable to use the warranty.
Since I liked the set well enough, I purchased a 2nd X5. After 2 months the headset and the audio streamer no longer recognize each other. The lights on both devices indicate that they are in pairing mode, but they do not pair. I swapped parts with my older X5, to no avail.
I have triggered the warranty and will follow up here with information about how that process goes. |

Pros:
- Sound guality for headset is quite good on my Blackberry 8900
- Bluetooth range extends comfortably throughout a rather large home
- Headset hold a charge of @ 5 continuous hours
Cons:
_ The Audio Streamer would barely hold a charge. Sometimes it would not work even if taken immediately off the charger including checks to be sure that the battery contaacts on the streamer were clean, dust free & seated properly on the streamer. When it did work the sound quality with my IPod Classic contained so much static as to make it unlistenable after a few minutes.To ensure that it wasn't a bad battery, I switched the batteries between the headset & the streamer with no different results indicating a bad streamer. I contacted Blue Ant by phone, & followed their recommendations with no results. Following their instuctions I returned the steamer to Blue Ant and received back what appeared to be the same streamer & battery I sent them with the same results i.e. streamer dosen't hold charge. I've given up on the streamer & just use the headset.
If you just want the headset, see if you can buy it standalone. If you want an Audio Streamer this is not the product. Their rating would be even lower if the headset didn't work so well.

| I've had these for years now, but I use a pair of $29 Sony's. The Blue Ant requires too many wires. The battery dies an hour before my shift is over, and takes hours and hours to charge. Then when recharged you get to start the complex (you'd better have your manual) process of synching all the gadgets. My cheap sony has one wire. This 'wireless' headphone has a USB, a broadcasting device, and the charging system, and weak batteries. Blah. |

I ordered the Blue Ant X5i from Shopcell - an Amazon market place vendor. While the product was delivered promptly enough, alas - it wouldn't even switch on.
My first step was to call "BLUEANT" customer support (North America) . After a moderate wait I was able to get a live support rep. 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! - 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.
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...
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!"....
What kind or condescending product support/warranty is this - product support has no business asking about product price...
I highly doubt their product warranty means anything to them or - or even if they will stand behind it.
Their product support and brand standards are probably just like their product - substandard and indifferent

| "Very good bluetooth product" | 2009-06-05 |

| Very good bluetooth product. The headphones work well with two other bluetooth items on my HP HDX laptop. It will connect directly to the laptop, however to get stereo sound, you have to use the add-on piece that plugs into the headphone jack of the computer. The headphones aren't as comfortable as I'd like them to be. After about an hour and a half of wear, they become uncomfortable, even irritating. Takes a little getting used to. I probably would by this product again, but not at the price listed. |
