3.0 out of 5 stars Seriously flawed - no car charger included, August 29, 2009

By	ScOObydoo (USA) - See all my reviews

Let me start with the basics - this car kit is not bad. It isn't great, but I've seen worse. The S1 is about $20 cheaper than the Supertooth 3 (the flagship carkit from Blueant). Sadly, the S1 loses the cool features found on the Supertooth 3 - voice dialing is one of them (the S1 does support a simple "answer" command for picking up calls.

The S1 does all the basics, plus it adds Bluetooth audio. This works, but don't expect it to replace your car stereo any time soon. The A2DP Bluetooth stereo lacks one minor little thing - AVCRP or Bluetooth audio remote. So, even though you can listen to music, you can't control it.

Now on to the big one - when you open the box, you see the S1, its visor clip and an AC charger. That is correct - the brainiacs at Blueant obviously felt that nobody would need a car charger for the car kit in their car.

This means you'll need to spend an additional $10 on a MiniUSB car charger cord. To me, this is an inexcusable flaw, and one that makes it seem like the product was poorly thought through.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great, June 24, 2009

By	Ronald Mendoza (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I have been a long time Jawbone user, but have been trying to convince myself that a Bluetooth Speakerphone would better fit my needs/lifestyle, since I only use the Jawbone in the car anyway.

I finally pulled the trigger on a Jabra SP700, but returned it because it could realistically only be used with one phone. (It has multiple phone history, but will only connect to the most recently paired phone.)

I have friends who are happy with the BlueAnt SuperTooth 3, and since the S1 was newer I decided to give it a try.

Good:
Good overall volume and clarity. Multipoint technology which not only allows it to reconnect to the two most recent devices, it actually reconnects to both simultaneously if in range.

Not so good:
In addition to the standard Bluetooth Headset profile, the S1 also supports A2DP, like the Jabra SP700. The Jabra SP700 also has a FM transmitter, so it can basically act as a speakerphone/music streamer to the car stereo. The S1 does not have a FM transmitter, so music is streamed to its mono speaker. Herein lies my problem; my iPhone 3G will connect to the S1 for phone call duty and will also send music to it, instead of to my car stereo through the direct connect. I have not found a way to disable A2DP support on the S1 (or the iPhone 3G), and I'm checking with BlueAnt to see if they have any ideas. This will probably be a deal killer for me if I can't resolve it.

Also, the visor clip is extremely tight, taking a lot of effort to attach to my visor. The Jabra SP700's clip looked more fragile but clipped on well enough as far as I can tell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works pretty well, November 30, 2009

This device works great as long as you keep your head pointing at the device. If you start talking away from it there there is an issue with it picking up your voice. The multi phone connection seems to have an issue with making the voices sound odd, but that could be just from the phones that I am using, the blackberry has many weird quirks like that. Overall I'm very happy with the product and would definately purchase from this company again.
