Review: BlueAnt Q2 Smart Bluetooth Headset

Looks cool.

Please pick me! I will use this in my old Dakota when driving and at home and work!

So, going by what the sub title of the post is "One lucky member of the CrackBerry Nation will win one of these." i could win the bluetooth or the Car??? lol...

Shoftiel37, This is the 2nd time that you've posted my thoughts! (last time was during the live podcast)...

Sign me up for the free bluetooth...

I love blue ant. Started with the V1 and Q1 but volume was terrible on my Bold with it but worked fine on other devices but would love to grab a Q2

I refuse to have to pick up my device to answer the phone while driving, so I will obviously use the Q2 in my car to stay safe!

I would defnitely use this while driving. It will make talking and driving so much safer and convenient.

Well since driving and talking on the phone has now become illegal(don't know why)jk. This device would definitely be suited for me for when I'm on the road. I've been meaning to get one actually, I just tend procrastinate. But yes PICK ME!!!!

I have a Jabra Extreme, Very cool though, but it looks cheap, if I'll be chosen, I'll ditch my Jabra since for this bluetooth headset, I'll be using this headset when I'm driving and coding websites.

I'm still using a blueant z9. I could use a upgrade please pick me I'm a loyal blueant customer and crackberry member.

id use it on the drive to work

Cool. I would use it on my commute to be a safe driver with my BB 9700.

Blueant products look very cool and they have nice features. I wouldn't mind having one.
Thanks!

Kool! I am in need of a bluetooth ear piece.

I have been wanting a BlueAnt since the untimely death-by-washing-machine incident with my last Jabra headset :/

Listening to podcasts in my office.

I would probably use it everywhere I go with my phone but would be especially useful while driving since they seem to be cracking down on the whole "talking while driving" in NYC.

I just lost my last bluetooth set. I could really use this!

awesome!! with this device I could use it all the time and rarely have to use the device!!

i'd use this bad boy in the ol' civic. good to have those hands free options

I would use it in the car

Gotta be honest, I'm still using speakerphone when I drive. This would hopefully put that to an end. You could be saving lives by giving me this. :)

I would mostly use mine during my commute home. I have an older plantronics that is showing its age.

This would be nice with my 9800 while I am driving in my car and while at a ball game

Bluetooth headsets imrpove every year in form and function. Progress never gets old.

Simply put I would where it while Im driving!
Right now I have my Blackberry storm clipped on to my car's sun visor for hands free answering..... and no I did not forget to put calling in there all I do is answer lol!!!

while driving, helps me focus more on driving while answering those important calls

I currently amd using a V1 Blueant headset on my Storm 2 and I love it. This head set is tough. I ran it it through the washer and dryer by accident with it still clipped to my jean pocket and it still works!!
I would definatly love to get a new Blue Ant Q2 headset.

i would lose using this in the car

Simply put I would where it while Im driving!
Right now I have my Blackberry storm clipped on to my car's sun visor for hands free answering..... and no I did not forget to put calling in there all I do is answer lol!!!

I'm not super-impressed with the BlueAnt Z9i I have right now because it does tend to fall off and doesn't stream music. With a new BT headset, I would be set for long dog walks without having to wear cabled headphones. As a side benefit, I imagine it is pretty useful for driving too. Then my wife can have my old BlueAnt!

With the new hands free laws here I need something like this while driviNg everyday!

I would use this while mountain biking to talk and listen to music so I wouldn't have to risk yanking my blackberry out of my pocket wearing normal headphones during jumps. I'd also use it while driving.

I'dd use it while driving and receiving urgent calls from the hospital

driving, shopping, walking, etc you name it... i will use it...

I live in a city with a hands-free law sooo I would use this and love it i'm sure !!!

Looks nice, definitely something I'd love to win!

Since its illegal to drive and talk on the phone on some federal bases, using this at work woud be great for me!

They have come a long ways!!! The key looks like its from a Chevy Cavalier

This is the bluetooth i have been looking for! i would use it wherever i go (school, work, visiting relatives) and i would use it all the time! i don't have a bluetooth so i just use my Bold 9650's speaker as i drive (bad i know lol). I would use it whenever my mom makes those urgent calls to pick up my siblings while im driving which happens quite often actually.

Im going for the GM vehicle!!! LOL

I do an average of 300 miles a week and working as an engineer the calls never stop coming in. I normally return incoming calls only when i get to my destination (even the important calls) as ther's a strict "no phone calls without headset usage" where i live. With this headset i won't have to worry about nothing no more. Not a single call will be missed either. Smoother way of working.. Pleas pick me!

I love BlueAnt! I have a z9i that is still working but would LOVE to upgrade to this! I would use it EVERYWHERE and all the time...and give my wife my z9i! :D

I will most likely use this device while driving.

They have sick bluetooths

I drive 2 hours each way every day and this blue ant would be wonderful addition

I've resisted getting a bluetoothh, until now. This one looks great. I'm a Lieutenant with the Fire Department and sometimes we need to call dispatch on the way to an emergency call and a regular cell phone is hard to hear with sirens and other noise. This might be the answer. Crossing my fingers here that you choose me.
Thanks

I would use this constantly in my car (law requires it!) and around the house while doing chores!

I would use this in the car

I really need one for driving. My car does not have a stereo with bluetooth (yet)

I'd use everyday at work and in the car. In need of a new headset since my current one died.

Nice I would use mine traveling through airports and bus stations

All the time. Driving, working and even having special time with the wife.

I live in Mass and my girlfriend lives 4.5 hours away in NJ and I'm constantly driving out there to see her. It'd make my life a lil easier going to see her every other weekend if I had this bluetooth.

I'm in :D I'll use it while drivingg :D

I would use it while doing nails- to take appointments..........that would save me lots of time!

I would be using the BlueAnt Q2 Smart Bluetooth headset while im driving,

I'd use my decvice at work while on patrol either listening to music of making calls...

I just "misplaced" my Jawbone set and won't be getting it back. I could sure use a replacement. I switch cars back & forth with my wife and daughter, so I use one every day. Using an old cheapo for now.

Will be using it in the car commuting to school everyday.

I would use it a fair bit. I have a stereo set right now which is powerful but uncomfortable so I rarely use it anymore. I've been thinking about buying a new one but can't justify the cost when I already have one.

All the time. Driving, working and even having special time with the wife.

I will love to use it when running and ditch my ipod using the A2DP feature

The facility I work at is on top of a larger hill, us city folk call it a mountain, and while nice in the summer time the wind is always blowing. It makes it hard enough to use my blackberry directly and impossible to hear on a bluetooth. Maybe the Q2 is up for a challenge?

I would use this while at work as there is nothing worse than trying to answer the phone while working on a ladder. Hey and also on the drive home.

Definitely would be key for my drives to Toronto from Waterloo. Thanks

I would use it from within a local jail to call a lawyer :) haha or maybe from a local strip club because I wouldn't be able to hold my phone to my head for some odd reason. Maybe I would use it on the crapper because I don't want to soil my phone, could get messy you know. Or perhaps I could use it to call looking for jobs because trying to come up with comedic funny excuses isn't my calling.

sounds like it would work for me!

That is looking beautiful for sure. I hope I win this!

I'd love to win this headset.

I've give it to my Dad, a hard working BB abusing Hockey Coach and Entrepreneur so he could drive safely to and from practices and games for once!

I'd use it in two ways:

1 - In my car, obviously, since I have to be able to pick up the phone at all times while on the job.

2 - Back in my office, I have an old Cardo Bluetooth adapter for 2.5mm plugs. Using the multipoint feature, I could have both my cell and desk phone connected to my headset at the same time.

What do you think? :)

I currently have a BlueAnt V1 that I use at home, another for the car would be perfect

I would use mine while driving my car and my truck at work as I am getting calls all day long on my Blackberry

I guess you could use it almost anywhere anytime...but I would like to see if it would work while riding my bike. I'm a cyclist and I keep my BlackBerry in my saddle bag. I've missed important calls in the past because I couldn't hear my phone. This might just be the answer!

Wow!

Pretty sweet little gadget!

Am I the lucky Crackberry Nation member? Make it happen. Thanks.

Looks ace.

I would use this sharp looking bluetooth headset everywhere. Walking in the airport, in restaurants, in the bathroom, at the dinner table, in my car, at the mall - you can really never look bad with a cool Bluetooth headset hanging our of your ear! Even if I am not on the phone, I will talk to myself and try to look really important and busy.

Everywhere! Driving for sure, but apart from that, since i wont be holding the phone to my head, itll help reduce the radiation i inflict on myself. And also, itll be so convenient not to go till the device everytime it rings.

I use headsets constantly. On the road, in the office, on the go. People think I'm talking to myself all the time. I've owned 10+ headsets and currently have (and have lost) the jawbone icon. I'd love to have a reliable headset with all those voice commands.

I NEED a new bluetooth headset for when im driving!!

Thanks Crackberry :D

Really can't see the point! Great for driving, but then why would you want to talk to someone while you drive. Downside is music playback, we want stereo, so a second headset or even a cable that will attach to the device that has a speaker on the other end for the other ear.

When I had a good headset I used it in the office and in the car. I'd use the Q2 the same way. Thanks

Pretty much use it only on the drive to work......i think its stupid to wear a handsfree headset in the mall

Being in an LDR means I also have a very close relationship with my phone - so a headset like this would be used every day while driving, doing stuff around my apartment, etc. Pick me, please!

Can you hear me,if you can is for me!!!

looks pretty good

Can you hear me,if you can is for me!!!

I would use for work and in the car! Thank you!

I would definitely have this wherever i go, to be safe and hands-free :)

And I will use it in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!

So I will use them in a box.
And I will use them with a fox.
And I will use them in a house.
And I will use them with a mouse.
And I will use them here and there.
Say! I will use them ANYWHERE!

Blue Ant and Crackberry rocks!

I do an average of 300 miles a week and working as an engineer the calls never stop coming in. I normally return incoming calls only when i get to my destination (even the important calls) as ther's a strict "no phone calls without headset usage" where i live. With this headset i won't have to worry about nothing no more. Not a single call will be missed either. Smoother way of working.. Please pick me!

would love to score one for those 4 hour drives to see fam in socal. thanks.

yeah yeah yeah
Bring it come

I spend half my work day on the phone walking around my office. It'd be amazing to finally have a quality bluetooth headset that allows me to converse clearly while actually getting work done!

I cant think of just one place I would use this BlueAnt Q2 Smart Bluetooth Headset.

It's practical to have in your ear while you drive, or just out doing your regular day to day activities. Very practical to have an ear piece instead of having to constantly take your phone out.

Pick me so I can use this while on a crowded elevator. Make people think i am talking to the voices in my head.

Would be awesome if I could win this as my Blueant V1 just died yesterday and shopping for a new bluetooth

Love it, pick me!

Everywhere, All the time!

Use it in my truck everyday to keep the tickets away!!!

I would use this headset everywhere I used my Jawbone Icon (which I just lost...) Pick me! :)

1 for me...

Thanks!

I have never used a bluetooth headset, but this would be great when I bike to work. Instead of stopping on the side and missing the call every time, now all I have to do is pull over and answer it!!!

I would love to use this in my car on my drive to and from work. I currently use an old fashion wired type headset. Thank you!

This one definitely looks nice, I would use it going to an from work and when I have to go to locations where I have to call in for them to open the locked gate.

I have to take this one

I live in montreal where u cannot use ur phone and drive. Im always on the road and using my phone. I've been reluctant on buying a bkuetooth. But I would use this for work. While driving in the car. Even @ home when I'm cleaning and tiding up the house I usually am on the phone it would help a lot to have ahands free.

I'm always on the road, so I would use this set to answer phone call in my car without risking myself to be caught by a cop. They are always looking for drivers who answer their phones without a headset and don't park in the nearest available place. Also, the voice instructions and caller id would let me know who is calling me and answering without keeping my eyes off the road

I'd use this during my morning & afternoon commutes. I have to travel through several cities that have a cell phone ban so the Q2 would really help out!!!

Cell phone use and driving a manual transmission car don't mix well for me. This would be useful everytime I get behind the wheel.

I love to have this when I am driving in traffic everyday after work.

I like use in evry moment!

I (and my wife for that matter) would use this all the time cleaning house, working in the yard, taking kids to the park and in the car. Of course we're responsible citizens;)

My BT headset is broke, so I sure could use a new one! Pick Me!

This is great! I'd use this mostly at home to call my family around the world via voip!

I would love this, I'd use it to drive safely on the freeways.

I NEED THIS!!!!!!!!

I volunteer for our local emergency support services and need a devise like this as I respond to local emergencies. Need to gather current info on the way to the emergency. Our area is totally hands free now. Thanks.

I am a huge fan! Would use it all day around as its very compact and easy to use.

I'd use this every time I have to be hands-free... in the car, walking to and from home/office, in the office. And whenever I feel like being lazy and not using my hands!

Please pick me. I would use it in my car mostly (don't want a 2 point ding on my license) & my home office during con calls. THANKS

Great company and a great headset... I have one! And would love another!

ok read it . How will i use it ? well with my cell phone like everybodyelse.
can't use it to heat up my pot pie for lunch!
can't use it to wash my car which needs it very badly
can't use it to brake up with my stupid girl friend (is she my girl friend if she won't go out with me?)
can't use it to go to work for me.
so I guess i will use it for what it was made to do:)
p.s. i sang a song to crackberry in the comment section in another post

wow !! impressive intense review !!!

id love one 2 take calls while im driving or riding my bike on my way to college...

give this student his first bluetooth headset.. =)

road legal again =) and superb sound no doubt

I'd use it in the shower.

I would love to use this while I am outside working on projects now that the weather is warming up. I hope I win!

I commute an hour each way to work every day. The BlueAnt seems like the perfect way to save the lives of everyone I pass on the highway on my way to work :).

Where wouldn't I use it? The Jabra that came with my device fell off my head the first time I went jogging. Another issue is having to repeat myself constantly so people can hear me. People say I sound "tinny".
Finding the right earpiece is difficult. I can go by reviews, but it's not until I use it that I can really decide if it's going to work for me.

That looks sexy. I'd use it in the car, when I drive to and from work. So useful, since cops here are cracking down on non hands free talking and driving.

I would use at when I'm traveling in a rental car!

Driving is a lot of my time, so been with lots of cables is confusing and dangerous, this will be a solve problem

I need a new one as I accidently broke my last one and am now unemployed and can't afford another one right now. I do allot of driving and use it most then.

I have a club basketball team and I'd wear it in the gym during practice or games.

My girlfriend commutes 140 miles per day. If she had this headset we could have mood-setting conversations while she's on the way home. I'm aching to win this headset.

I would use it always when driving so I'm less likely to get distracted on the road.

gimme!!!

please?

I am a farmer. I work in the fields all summer. Sit on the tractor. Nice and handy

Pick me I'll use it for my Honda and use it everywherre :)

SWEET!!! i was just thinking i need 2 check into a new 'tooth :D...this seems 2 be perfect for when im working in the lab

Sounds like a great headset, a few minor quirks like them all. I have the Jawbone which Works great would like to check out the new and improved headsetby Blueant

I love Blueant, and I just put my other bluetooth in the laundry so I could really use one for driving.

Perfect for handsfree while driving!

Where wouldnt i uses these?
When my phone is running low on batteries i could leaver the device charging and still be able to walk around the room. This would be awesome.

I really need this!

pick me pick me, i will use this allllll day because i drive an ambulance and need to have a bluetooth and my old one broke and i cant be flying to the hospital while i have the phone in my hand, just think if you were in my ambulance, would u want me on a blue tooth or without one ? >=D

I need a new bluetooth as mine is a POS that I got for free with my originaly Curve 8320. I still use that in my car while driving, but it flops around all over the place while on my ear!!!

I would use this behind the wheel ONLY. I get so tired of seeing morons wearing them in the grocery store, etc. Their friends should be telling them how ridiculous they look.

I'd like to win one

I would use it all the time when I talk. At home and especially when I'm driving. We must use a handsfree device in Ontario.

I'd love a new headset. Nothing worked like the our old scala-500s in the convertible.

Have a good one.

Oh, where wouldn't I use it?! Definitely in the car, but even more when I'm traveling for business, with both my BB and my netbook for Skype calls. It looks absolutely perfect!

I am in, would come in handy even at home

i would use this bluetooth while i'm driving! it's time for an upgrade and this would be a great one to get! please pick me:D

I'd love to use one of these with my Torch while driving to and from work

This lil' guy would be jammed in my ear southbound I-15 just before the Primm, NV exit on my way to SoCal. Since Cali has its cell phone law, I still need to be able to access my BlackBerry safely during those long road trips.

So...

Weekend getaways from Sin City would be my use (and of course drives to/from work on the 215 here in Vegas as well).

Thank you for the review Alicia and thank you ShopCrackBerry.com for the contest. =)

Recently got my car broken into and they took my headset. Would love to win, great contest CB!

I could sure use a new bluetooth

I would use it when I drive. The biggest problem I find with bluetooth headsets is losing them because of the size.

Would love to get this. Would be very handy for daily conversartions in my car, or at the airport with all of the background noise.

On my motorcycle. I usually ride to get away from the world but sometimes I still need a way for someone to keep in touch.

Outstanding. I was hoping for a give-away like this.

Mike

i'd use it everytime everyday.
i just too hooked up with my blackberry

I need one!

Would love to win! Thanks CB.

I'd use it whenever im in my car, or any crowded location.

i would love to replace the scala-500 i bought back in the day for my old moto razr, its kinda big and the sound quality is "not so good"

i use my BT headset all the time, especially driving to onsite service calls, or while i'm elbow deep in a printer and really cant hold my phone.

I am on the road all the time for work. This device would be wonderful for my work.

I would use it everywhere I drive, school, work and long trips I like to take.

Yes, please! This would be very helpful because where I live, they banned the use of handheld electronic devices while driving.

AWESOME! I will use this everywhere (even when I don't need it. so I could Look COOL and Important.

This would be perfect for my wife. She complains other are too heavy and to uncomfortable and fall off. She could use this.

I would love one of these.

A2DP - BONUS

will be using it to listen to music on my lonely train rides home from work

I'm going to use the Q2 I hopefully win primarily in my car, and of course anywhere else I need to keep my hands free and my phone out of harm's way... like doing work around the house and other general contract work.

Of course I would use it while driving but I wonder if this will connect to my ps3 for online gaming?

Oooo pick me! I will use it at home as well as always in the car!

nice ! every where !

This would be great for my 8 hours a day I spend in my car with half the time being spent on the phone

These look very cool. Ive been on the hunt for a good bluetooth earpiece.. Great review btw.

I have the Q1 and love it. I've worn it all day, while driving and walking around, and it's so comfortable I've almost forgot I was wearing it until it announces an incoming call. I also have Vlingo, so I rarely have to touch my phone. If the Q2 is improved, it's got to be Da Bomb! Sure would like to have one.

Need it when I'm in Canada.

I would use the bluetooth headset on my commute to and from home as well as when I am playing online games. Choose me!!!!!!

It'd be great for my hour long communte to work as I often have conference calls on my way to work ;)

BB 9000 driving to work

I will definitely use this!

Blueant always makes good stuff.

Wish it was cheaper so I could afford one so hopefully I'd win haha. I use it in the car whenever I absolutley need to; regardless, I would rather avoid usage of bluetooths while driving!

Looks cool. I had the Q1 and didn't like it so much. I really need good noise reduction.

Just bought a Plantronics Voyager Pro Plus I wouldn't mind having this one too..:)

I would use it on my 90 minute (each way) commute to work. Please and Thank you kindly.

I'd love one of these. I drive pretty much all day (service tech) and not only is it becoming difficult to stay connected with my customers but it is also now against the law here to talk on your phone without a handsfree device. To get this BT headset would be awesome!

If i win one I'll have it on during all waking hours everywhere. No more blasted cords or crooked neck syndrome. Complete hands free Blackberry experience all day, at work & at play. Enough said.

At my desk at work l

use it driving

I'd use it anywhere I need my hands. Home and office.

This would be nice to win.. I'm still using a plantronics 320.. I use it a ridiculous amount and am due for an upgrade.. Its with me just about 24/7 for work and streaming pandora on my late night walks through town..

I really dislike putting my BB to my ear, so while I'd be using it for driving, I'd also be using it all the time regardless of what I'm doing.

Would be nice to have this while driving in my car :) thanks

perfect!

Ooooh my please, I need a replacement for my motorola bluetooth headset, which is becoming a little tempremental.

Use while driving or "in bed" ;)

id use it for when I'm being stealthy as I drive

Because I can't take my car, that has bluetooth, in to the store with me ;)

While driving, I log about 60,000 km a year in my car and 15,000 km a year on my Harley

I would love to have one since I drive all day and having a voice activated bluetooth would be ideal for safety and a pure hands free enviroment.

would like one as hands free is going to be a requirement in cars now

I would love to win one!!

i like to use my bluetooth in the car. I'm interested in the voice activation features. I haven't had one bluetooth with this feature.

Ooh I like! I would pretty much use it everytime I drive or need my hands free haha.

I would use this all the time driving the kids around!

I'd use this on my daily 1hr commute to work and return trip.

I'd be using the Q2 on the way to work, on the way home, driving while working, working in the yard, working in the shop at home....probably not while sleeping or showering. ;-)

I would love the ANT!

In my line of work, I spend my days doing surveillance, or travelling to/from training presentations or lectures which I am facilitating. With hands-free laws on the books, a bluetooth unit is absolutely necessary. I am looking to replace the unit I have with an upgrade, and this looks like quite the upgrade from what I have now. I'd love to be able to try one of these out. Thanks.

I would love a new bluetooth and would use it on the freeway going to visit my sweetie who lives across state lines.

I commute to work every day on the freeway and through winding country roads passed several Wineries. I definitely need to be paying attention to the road, in Wine Country California. I've been in a head-on with a person coming from a Winery on a nice Saturday afternoon. The voice control feature sounds like I would use it a lot. Thank You CB

Great new review, we appreciate the information from Crackberry. I would use this to speak with my clients as am on the road 4-5 days/week. Very nice to hear it is so comfortable, that is the limiting factor with Bluetooth earpieces.

I have a Blueant Q1 and love it, would love a Q2 even more!

I will use this in my old Honda when driving!!!
Thanks.

I would use it everywhere I go! I would even call people up just so I could us it. I'd wear it in class, at home, work, church, in the car(obviously) I might wear it to sleep, but idk cuz it might break if I sleep on it. But yea I'd wear it everywhere and everywhen :P

in the car or at work!

this looks nice.

fingers crossed

Good Luck...

That's perfect. I would use this driving and would never have to glance at my phone to see who's calling. I could really use one of these.

Would love to try this one

When I win my BlueAnt Q2, I'll be sporting it this spring and summer while cruising down the highway in our new RV. I'll be able to enjoy the scenery while staying in touch with the digital world

Please pick me...since I celebrate the same bday as CrackBerry (lol)

I drive at minimum 500 km a week, and my car's bluetooth can be paired with one phone less then I use, so it would be a perfect match to my Bold when in the car. Then I have a habit of walking around my office when on the phone. Here it would come handy as well:)

Of course when driving...but probably also when I'm doing things at home (like the dishes :p)

I love the idea of having the headset read incoming caller information. I'm on the road a lot (and run my own business), so having as much information as possible when calls come in is a good thing. Anything to help keep eyes on the road is much safer than trying to pay attention to the screen, even if it is just to answer a phone call! :)

Looks pretty cool! I'll wear it whenever I leave my place. Thank you!

Nice!!! Looks really cool. I would use it for work cos I'm constantly on the move and sometimes having a phone to my ear while multitasking is frustrating. Definitely while driving.

I would use the Q2 daily, when driving and since I've recently started my own business it would come in handy when I need to keep my hands free.

I would use it in the car when I'm driving.

Definitely need this for the road.

Listen to music...really? I would used this to keep in touch with the fam; at home doing chores all day or out driving/errands all day.

every time I get in my car, because I want to be safe and alert.

I'm just a technofreak, so it is a good looking headsett.
Giva a try to win...

i can't believe how small it is.. I want it crackberry!

Just trying to win.

his would be a great win.....I would use it everywhere since my holster is falling apart.

Thankls.....Phil
