Hi Howard,
I just picked up a Q1 at Frys Electronics for $84.99. There is a newer firmware for the Q1 and I was curious if have tested the Q1 noise cancelation since the firmware upgrade?
Thanks Howard!
Thanks for the video! Very informative.
Hey Howard,
Great review!
Can you tell us what the firmware version of the Q1 you tested was? I think the newer firmware has better noise cancellation but not sure how it compares to the Prime.
You can turn the noise cancellation to MAX when in call on the Q1 if you’re in a very noisy environment.
So, is there any headset besides the Motorola HX1 that – when redialing last number – asks you if you would like to redial the last number on phone 1 or phone 2? “last number redial. press call button for phone 1, press either volume button and call button for phone 2″. This feature should be included in all multi-point headsets.
Great video, thank to your review I just purchased my blueant q1, I love it!
the jawbone bluetooth hurts your ears, if you have a small ears because it has a little sharp edge at end of the earloop. right next to the charger.
The blueant q1 is so smooth that you dont even know you’re wearing it. I would recommend blueant q1 blue tooth ever all of the JAwbones bluetooth. I personally think the noise canceling on the Blueant is much better then the jawbone too.
I also use the earloops from the jawbone to fit into the blueant q1–it fits perfectly. Those jawbone earloops you can also use it on the blueant–it’s really nice. I use the “slim earloop” instead of the leather earloop, I like it so much.
The design of the BLueant q1 is so nice…way way better then the jawbone, if you put the two together the jawbone looks a like a joke. Now i have the perfect bluetooth. I try so many BT before, and the blueant q1 is the best in my opinion.
I Have all of the jawbones BT and I like the Second Jawbone way better then the JB prime, but to compare the JAwbone prime to the Blueant q1–the Blueant q1 is much MUch better, the sound quality is really clear, it has a nice tone to your ear then the Jawbones. However, the blueant dont fit my ear securely, I dont like the ears loop. I bought those earbuds for the headphone for like 5 bucks and use those ear bud and it fits perfectly to my ears, way better then the jawbones. ( Continue—>
Nice Review! Well i have so many BT devices and i own at the moment the plantronics discovery 975, I use it on my iphone 3gs and i must say but call quality it is the best so far (before that i had Blueant V1) i must say i really miss the voice control and the 975 comes wo Ear hook, after while it very painful to keep it in one ear so i find myself switching between ears every now and then, i think i will get the Q1 and see how it will be.
Great review ! I don’t have any fancy phone just looking for good headset for a PS3 . My phone is bluetooth so I try to pair to it also .
if you have a BB phone, forget the 975 it doesn’t work correctly with BB phone, I tried it with my BB Tour and with a BB curve, I even exchanged the 975 for another new one but same thing.
great review Howard. however i might just go for the plantronics discovery 975. what do you think about the 975?
I’m having a hard time deciding. This helped. Thanks for the comparison.
Good review boss!
