This may be controversial but it has to be said…wearing a Bluetooth headset around all of the time does not enhance your image. Yes, you may need it for work or while driving because important phone calls still need to be made. Some people have very sensitive ears and cannot handle wearing a headset because it hurts them. What is needed is a device that gives you the benefits of a Bluetooth headset but without the earpiece. Well you are in luck with the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Handsfree.
The idea behind the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Handsfree device is pretty simple. You simply clip the device to your sun visor or your belt after you have uploaded the contacts from your phone. Then, when a call comes in the “Text to Talk” feature gives the name of the caller and you say “okay” to answer the call. The need to hit a button is eliminated and both your hands stay on the wheel.
These are the technical specs that are used by the company to sell the Supertooth 3. So what is the real deal with this device? Is it as good as the product description says it is? The reviews are very mixed. Some people love the fact that the Supertooth 3 is so easy to use but others have some real issues with the device. Many have reported that saying “okay” to answer a call did not work very well. Others complained that the Supertooth 3 did not announce the caller’s name but instead gave the number. Another common complaint was background noise. If you are driving in a vehicle that is not well insulated, then the background noise made it almost impossible to use for business calls. But there are some good reviews. Most users had no problem uploading their contact list. One user said it only took him 10 minutes to upload 1500+ contacts from his Blackberry. That is pretty fast.
Though there were a few complaints about the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Handsfree device, most people were relatively happy with it. You just have to keep in mind that as with any Bluetooth device there are going to be some drawbacks. It may not deliver crystal clear sound in a convertible while you are doing 80 mph but it does work by keeping eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.
