| I received the Bluespoon AX and I loved the size and the fact that it charged using USB and was discrete. Build quality appears to be less than what I would desire and given all of the reports of cracked shells it made me wonder how long it would last before it cracked. I guess that they may have made the plastic shell thin to reduce weight and meet their goal of light weight. If this guess is correct, I think they would have been better off going for a little more weight but solid build. | |

| Trying it out I found that the comfort was the best so far, though not to say great. I also liked that you could use it with glasses. The downside is the sound quality was not on par with the Tekkeon or the M3000. The question I needed to answer was whether it was good enough given its other pluses. You can hear its sound in one of my later posts and judge for yourself. For me, the sound on my end was not clear and static free and that bothered me. In a quiet environment the other party thought it sounded good but in my in car test they complained that they could hear a constant roar (road noise). I confirmed it was road noise because the roar would go away whenever I stopped the car. However, they could still hear me but the road noise was irritating. The unit has no noise cancellation and hence the sound is poor in a noisy environment. The other negative note is battery life is no where near the advertised 4-6 hours of talk time. I find the unit cannot make it through a day of standby time with less than 40 minutes of talk time. The other issue has to do with range from the headset and here it was not very good with line of sight needed. | |
| Conclusion | |
| My conclusion is that I could not recommend this headset because of its shortcomings. When price is factored in the decision against it is multiplied as it is not a cheap headset. I really would like to have been able to recommend this headset because of its size and discrete nature. Perhaps in the next generation they will make the needed improvements. | |
