Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

An update to the venerable Bluespoon AX, the Bluespoon AX2 still sports the easy-to-use features and affordability of its predecessor, but adds longer standby and talktime.

Comfortable...

...And stylish, with excellent clarity and range.

Comfortable, stylish, and intelligently designed, the AX2 frees you up to multi-task and talk whenever, and wherever you please.

Weighing in at only .35-ounces, the AX2 is comfortable and light enough for all day wear. The soft tip back piece turns 360 degrees to accommodate both left and right ear users, and the speaker and soft spring are incorporated into a single soft silicone unit, helping to keep the AX2 light and portable.

You'll immediately notice the headset's unprecedented clarity and sound quality. These are great features, but the real revolution involves Nextlink's high efficiency 2.4 GHz antenna, with very long range. Tired of your current Bluetooth headset always cutting out, picking up other signals, or dropping calls because of poor range? The AX2's crystal-clear reception and impressive range will not let you down, and maybe most importantly, the AX2 is surprisingly affordable.

A 3-button interface controls the functionality of AX2; a large multifunctional button is placed on top of the headset, and two smaller ones are placed on the sides, making the unit extremely versatile and convenient for right- or left-handed use. Support for both Bluetooth V.1.1 and V.1.2 Headset and Handsfree profiles ensures compatibility with a wide range of Bluetooth devices. And because the AX2 can be paired with eight different Bluetooth devices, and supports a talktime battery life of up to eight hours, and standby time of up to 1500 hours, it is the perfect Bluetooth headset solution for personal or professional use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommanded for People who wear glasses 6 STARS!, November 30, 2006

By

This review is from: Nextlink AX2 Blue Spoon Bluetooth Headset [Retail Packaged] (Wireless Phone Accessory)

For those who wear glasses, this is the best!
(Try to avoid ANY headset with hooks if you wear glasses no matter what other people say, IT WILL NO FIT and HURT your ears)
For those who don't wear glasses, it is 4 out of 5 stars due to the fact that the sound quality is not as good as Samsung's WEP200. (not sure about other "hookless" headset)
Battery Life, full charge, at least 4+ hours continuous talk time (I tested it personally)
It weights like nothing to your ear.

I had hard time to fit WEP200 on my ear, but AX2 is a snuggle fit. For half the price of WEP200, I will buy AX2.

If you outside of the network and have no reception, the headset will do a "beep beep" signal for you, it will keep doing it until your phone get back the reception. Some people found it annoying, some people think this is a useful feature.

Pro: Cheap, Tight Fit, VERY Light weight, BEST for people who wear glasses.
Con: Okay sound quality, very loud wind noise @ outdoor (on the listener side).

One more notice, for people who are going to get it, PLEASE read the instruction included carefully before you try to wear it. That plastic sticking out DOES NOT GOES INTO YOUR EAR CANAL. It sits within the grove inside of the external ear to secure the ear piece. So don't poke yourself to deaf with that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Best headset there is while it lasts..., May 5, 2006

By 

DaxRunner "Aussie Mom and Boat Bum" (Pinehurst, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I absolutely ADORE this headset. It fits snugly in your ear without being uncomfortable, stays in place, sounds great, battery life is fine for normal use all day long. It took the tiniest bit of work to figure out the thingy that curls up inside your ear. Although it looks like it would be extremely uncomfortable, you can't even feel it in there. There's nothing to wrap around the outside of your ear, so it doesn't bind and it doesn't interfere with glasses or sunglasses. It's so light it just floats there.

So why 3 stars? My first one, the Bluespoon AX, lasted about a month then overheated while charging and wouldn't stay on anymore. But, I loved it SOOOOOO much, I went out and bought a second one, this time the AX2. It lasted about 2 weeks and did exactly the same thing.

Why, oh why, did they finally make a headset that truly fits in my life, and make it so poorly that it won't keep working??????

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for the size, but average for the sound, July 19, 2006

This review is from: Nextlink AX2 Blue Spoon Bluetooth Headset [Retail Packaged] (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I've had my AX2 now for about two weeks. So far, I really like it for it's size and weight. It's small enough so that I don't look like the Borg (Star Trek) when wearing it, and I don't feel any weight on my ear. I got used to the "antenna" used to hold it in place almost immediately. But unfortunately, the sound quality could be better. The speaker inside the earpiece delivers a lot of treble with little bass. Inside this seems to be okay, but outside I've had to ask my girlfriend to repeat statements a lot. If you plan to use the AX2 indoors, I'd definitely recommend it. But if you're looking for a bluetooth headset for outdoors, I might consider looking at other brands with better overall sound quality.
