Help finding a multipoint Bluetooth headset that behaves properly
I'm looking for a good quality multipoint Bluetooth headset, I've tried two different ones so far and have not been pleased with the results, A Blueant Q2 and a SoundID 510.
The Blueant would only let you use voice commands on the 1st phone that it connects to at that session, sometimes it was one phone, sometimes another, highly annoying. Even when it was connecting to the right phone the only way I could use the phones built in voice dialer was by pressing the side button, waiting for the prompt then having to speak "Phone Command", then I was taken to the phone's own voice control, and I would have to do this every single time. and if that was not bad enough, the headset would always take over the phone's audio, I connect to my car stereo via a line connected to the headphone jack, but when I connected with the headset it would disable the headphones and output to the headset even after I disabled it in the phone settings. Returned.
The SoundID was even worse, most of the time it would not even let me get to any phone's voice commands after having paired a second phone. When it does go to voice commands it says "Siri" every time, I'm not using an iPhone, nor do I want to. I didn't use it enough to check out the rest. Returned.
I just want a headset that can do the following:
Connect to 2 devices, one of which will be answer only.
Have one button access to phone voice commands and always have it go to the same phone, regardless of which one connects first.
No ADP audio, or have it easily disabled in the hardware.
Hard Switch (No hold down talk button for X amount of seconds to turn on/off)
Comfortable and easy to put on (no over the ear) would also be nice.
Under $100
Does anything like this exist? I do not want to have to navigate a menu to get my phone to call someone, I just want to push a button once and know its always going to the right phone.
You might want to try a Voyager Pro Hd. I I'm using one with both a S3 galaxy and iphone 4s the headset has ADP which unlike most headsets connects to both headsets at the same time. I I know you mentioned you didn't need it but it's nice to be able to listen to music, navigation etc from both phones and not have to worry about which phone connects first. Also every time I press and hold the answer to the button it activates the voice command on the same phone no matter which phone connects first. In my case it's the 4s
Thanks, I may check that out, I like the fact that you don't need to worry about which phone connects first for voice commands, but I don't want want it to play any audio at all other than the phone audio, I use a line out to connect the headphone jack into my car stereo and I don't want this overridden when the headset is on, I know there is a setting for that, but it may have just been the Blueant, but it would always take over the audio even if it was disabled.
