The sound quality & sound reduction is excellent. Love the style, very lightweight, and fits perfectly on my ear. Best of all, I can now do voice commands which I dearly missed(Iphone does not have voice commands capability).
Very happy,

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

no trouble pairing it with the new Iphone 3G. it did allow me to give voice commands to the phone. However when i made a phone call, the sound did not play on the earpiece. i called support and they didn’t have any answers. i decided to return it.

Controls are nearly impossible to use. If you are male, or have big hands, the volume controls cannot be found while talking. Microphone is poor unless on the voice isolation “max” setting which it only lets you activate while you are in the middle of a call. And the voice isolation button is the same button you use to hang up. You have a 50% chance of dropping your call every time you try it.
Luckily, the poorly designed ear loop snapped off after about 6 months of normal use. I got to throw it in the trash and get something less frustrating to use.
