Tech Untangled

Say hello to the Q3, hands free off course, the newest Bluetooth Smartphone Earpiece from BlueAnt, $99 arriving stores this week.

Here are some of its cool features:

-Sleek-looking and functional with strategically placed buttons to minimize being distracted.

-Double bandwidth the Q3 and your phone for noticeably better sound quality using two microphones and BlueAnt’s Wind Armour and echo cancelation technologies.

-Works with two phones allowing you to switch between the two live calls

-Conference calls…answer, hold, merge and end calls at the touch of a button for up to four participants

-Android phones now have a free app so the Q3 reads back SMS messages automatically

-iPhone Siri and Google Voice Actions by double tapping

-A2DP streaming audio support, such as GPS voice turn by turn directions

-It speaks out the initial Bluetooth pairing instructions to get you started with your phone

-BlackBerry and Android users can also install the Vlingo SafeReader application for having email and SMS messages read out to you.

I found using it much easier than most phones primarily of how the key buttons are placed on the phone. You can easily grasp the unit while on your ear to securely press the command button. It will also convert from the default right ear to the left by a simple 2-buttom press.

It comes with extra size ear fittings, has 7 hours talk time and 100 hours standby time.

Normally I don’t like to use Bluetooth headphones, but the design, weight distribution and fit of the Q3 feels like there is nothing on your ear after a few minutes of wearing it.
