3 out of 5 stars Good Sound Quality, Poor Customer Service   November 9, 2008
I got the Z9 for Christmas last year. I have used it quite a bit for conference calls at work. The sound quality is good and the headset is compact and nice looking. However, as other reviewers have said, the earpiece (that is the rubber "doughnut" that seals the headpiece into your ear) is not durable. I got about the same 4 to 5 months of usage the others got before it just broke down and came apart. I've twice tried BlueAnt customer service to get earpiece replaced. In both cases, after much discussion, they've promised to send a replacement part but in neither case have they done so. This wouldn't be so bad except that the headset is under warranty and the replacement part that they think I should buy is relatively expensive. This in not a good headset to get if you want to use it frequently unless you don't mind buying your replacement parts that should be covered under the warranty.


4 out of 5 stars Good bluetooth headset   October 23, 2008
This is a great headset, works well with iPhone. My only complaint is that I can't control the volume from my iPhone, it must be done on the headset. But I'm told the sound is great on the other end. The sound on my end is good but not great.


4 out of 5 stars BlueAnt Z9   October 6, 2008
Works well. I'm very happy with it. Everyone says they can hear me clearly when I use it and I understand clarity is the big issue with blue tooth systems.

It is comfortable to wear. I often forget that I have it on.



2 out of 5 stars Used Product   September 23, 2008
We ordered this product with the impression and knowledge that it was a brand new product. When we got the z9 bluetooth headset it was not in the original box and it had been used. In great shape and it probably would have been o.k. to use but we wanted a brand new one. So if it isn't brand new just state that on the page.


5 out of 5 stars Best bluetooth headset (yet)   September 20, 2008
Ok, for the purpose of full disclosure, the negatives first. The earpiece needs work - BlueAnt can take lessons from Plantronics there. The earpiece unthreaded itself and disappeared within the first week or so. Good news is that I called BlueAnt and they mailed me a replacement the same day. No charge :)
More good news - I discovered that one of my old Jabra gelcaps fits really well and it's more comfortable to wear than the "official" earpiece.
This headset is the only one I've owned (5th one) that my mother had no complaints about hearing me. The acid test for clarity is my mom - and the BlueAnt passed.
It doesn't do well with wind noise but not a single bluetooth does. One thing I love about this headset is that its firmware is upgradeable. I've already done it (with a few hiccups but BlueAnt's technical support is superb).
I was at the Seahawks game and talked with my wife on the headset - she could hear me clearly (although it was so noisy I had a difficult time hearing her). I switched it to "voice isolation max" while I was pulling some noisy toters over rough asphalt while speaking with a friend and was told that my voice was totally clear.
Here's the clincher - shortly after I got the BlueAnt I was speaking with one of my consultants. I asked him if he could hear me OK because I was using a new bluetooth. He couldn't believe that I was using a headset, asked me what I was using, and ordered a BlueAnt immediately!
