Started out checking this site to see if I should exchange the BlueAnt S1 my husband gave to me today for an ear piece only to find out that it can be purchased for half the price he pa of $150. Do you think they are the same product? Hate to suggest that he return it and don't even know if they accept returns but why the big price difference?

I have a BlueAnt and am very very impressed (ps this is not a paid advertisement either). I set it up without even reading the directions and it worked immediately. It has good sound and the pickup might be too good - so turn off your radio/fan. It is unobtrusive. I am impressed.

What the hell is "tinty"?

Check out "tinny"?

Kind of a crappy review, no? Reads like an ad, riddled with obvious spelling mistakes, and marginal pictures.

Besides, the Motorola T501/505 is a better speaker anyways. Smaller, loud and clear speaker, and a bonus FM transmitter.

He calls it a "Bluetooth headset", how do I attach it to my head?

This is barely a review. Sounds more like an advert. You couldn't be happier with it "tinty" speaker and all? How about a little more depth beyond "Liek OMG this iz fluffykittentastic!"

If you guys do a full review of the TomTom car kit and evaluate GPS, hands-free calling, sound quality, and voice control you will get tons of site hits. Nobody has done this yet - only GPS evaluation.

@Franz

Good question!I should have mentioned this piece in my review. To test the phone call "on the road" I called a friend of mine with the window down going 55mph... worked like a dream! My friend said there was some background sounds (the wind perhaps?) but he could hear me just fine. So voice control+phone call worked great!

I have not used the TOM TOM, so I will have to ask Rene

Chad,

How well does the voice control work with road noise? I've been debating about buying this or the TomTom car kit which has the microphone and speaker built-in. With TomTom I'd have to mount the phone close enough to push the button for voice control, but I'd get the wired power rather than battery and improved GPS. Do you guys have a TomTom car kit review coming? Please?

Try jumping to YouTube's site to watch the video, from there you can choose high-quality.

@Mitch

I have an 06 Honda Accord. I use the Griffin iTrip to play my music through the stereo, it works great. The Accord's radio does not have a headphone jack, so I am in the same boat as you are. Best Buy sells a bluetooth kit for $150, but also has installation costs.

Hey Chad...what kind of car do you have and what set up do you have for your music to car stereo? I have a 07 Honda accord and wanted to do a bluetooth setup like this, and all I was finding was Parrot installations that would run me $350+

Any ideas guys? I was thinking about just getting a ipod installation from bestbuy and getting this accessory.

madonna??? Really? What do you think rene? I know I know it was nothing to do with the video. Anyways I have one the blueant's I picked it up last week on line for $62. My only beef with it is I wish the speaker was a little louder. But it works better than the motorola T305 I had.

If it were a paid advertisement, it would say so IN BIG HONKING LETTERS (like our sponsored posts do). TiPb Store provides products for our writers to review, but has NO input in (and never sees before publication) the reviews/test drives/looksees, whatever.
