Re: blueant bluetooth q3
I ordered one and returned it because I got the Aftershokz. I read some good reviews, but someone on the list said that they read that it had problems with the iPhone 5. Supposedly Blueant was going to release a firmware upgrade. This was a few months ago, so hopefully whatever problems there were have been resolved.

It has some promising features, e.g. able to pair two device at the same time, 3 ways conference call, etc. It also got quite a high raiting from products review like CNET etc. If you do come across or happen to own one, how does it compare to the pantronic voyager or the jawborn bluetooth headset?

Re: blueant bluetooth q3
Hi Joanne,, If you plan on using the BlueAnt Q3 with an iPhone 5, make sure that you get feedback from someone who has applied the latest firmware update. The initial reviews all cited problems with dropped calls and bizarre sounds when this model was paired with the iPhone 5, only (not with the iPhone 4 or 4S). A number of manufacturers have had to do firmware releases because of the way Bluetooth functions were implemented in the iPhone 5. Reviews of the Q3 model with the new firmware are quite recent -- only two weeks ago for the Cult of the Mac, for example. The U.S. Amazon site has a review from someone who bought this model in April, on the strength of his previous experience with the BlueAnt Q2, and returned it because of the BlueTooth performance (with a note that he fully expected to get this again when the new firmware was released.) BlueAnt firmware updates are straightforward, but are only available on the Windows platform, despite the fact they've been stating they have Mac versions in preparation for over 3 years. Jawbone has frequent firmware updates, and a Mac version of the updated, but their MyTalk web site has pretty bad accessibility, and I would just advise you to get sighted assistance if you have to use it. I'll let you hear from current users of these products. HTH.
