"Not too bad, but callers can't hear me well"
Pros: Cheap, lightweight and comfortable fit
Cons: I sound muffled and distant to my callers
Summary: The T8 is my 2nd attempt to find a headset that I'm satisfied with. Unfortunately I am still looking.
My first was the Nokia BH-200 where callers complained I sounded muffled and distant. That headset on the Nokia also became painful to wear after a couple of hours.
The BlueAnt T8 is MUCH more comfortable to wear, but sadly my callers say that I still sound somewhat muffled and distant.
I'm starting to believe this is from the "noise reduction" technology that is built into a lot of these units.
Whilst my callers cannot hear any of my background noise, they frequently also cannot hear ME - which kind of defeats the purpose, right?
I'm noticing that "white noise" sounds are removed from the conversation, so when you say something like "six sixes", and the other person only gets "ik iks".
So yes... I am still looking for a headset where I sound half decent to the person I'm talking with.
My next step will be the BlueAnt X3 which I have read good reviews about here.
Is it too much to ask for a headset where I sound almost as good as talking directly into my phone???
Perhaps they need one where you can turn noise reduction ON/OFF depending on your environment or personal choice???
