I have owned 4 bluetooth headsets over the years and while they have each been adequate and did the job the Q2 rises above the pack to offer superior sound quality and several features the others just don’t offer. I’ve been using the Q2 for a few months and I won’t drive without it…I even used it for an hour long conference call the other day.

Features:

• Pair, configure and control the device using your voice.
• Using text to speech technology the Q2 announces the name of the caller (if they are in your contacts) so that you don’t need to look at your phone.
• Just say “answer” or “ignore’ to all incoming phone calls-no buttons to push
• Download the Q2 Android app and then your device will read you any text messages you receive!
• The Q2 integrates with Bing-411 to provide voice access to a world of information.
• The Q2 features integrated A2DP streaming audio functionality, so you can listen to music or podcasts, and hear turn-by-turn direction information from a GPS application on your phone..
• Two phones can be paired to the Q2 at the same time.

The BlueAnt Q2 Smart Bluetooth Headset sells for $99.99 and can be purchased from BlueAnt online or at select retailers.

I have been using mine for over a month now and I love it!! It was very easy to pair my phone to the speakerphone and start using in as soon as it was charged. It clips right to my visor so installation was a snap. I turn it on when I get in the car and shut it off when I get out so that it is always ready while I am driving. As with any voice controlled device, you do need to learn the commands and speak clearly so that it can understand your commands. Sometimes it takes more than one try to get a call to go through because it can’t quite understand you. To show you just how easy it is yo use, I made a little video.

Do you have a speakerphone? Do you use a bluetooth headset? Want one for yourself? Stop by the BlueAnt website and check them out.

Disclosure: I received the BlueAnt S4 Speakerphone for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.
