Blueant Supertooth 3 Review

I’m a big fan of Bluetooth hands-free solutions which attach to the sun visor in your car. My experience has shown that typically these devices offer better sound quality for your calls because they are so close to your face while speaking. One such solution is the Supertooth 3 by BlueAnt. It’s nice to have someone to talk to One feature which sets the Supertooth 3 apart from other similar solutions is that it actually talks to you. When you first setup the device to pair with your phone a female voice walks you through the whole process. No doubt, that was a nice touch. Once Supertooth 3 is paired with your phone then it will attempt to download your phone’s address book. While it does this the phone announces how many contacts it has loaded until it is finally finished. Once your contacts are downloaded then the device will announce the name of the caller when your phone rings. If the number does not match a contact then the Caller ID information is announced even if it is just a number. That’s a pretty slick feature and it also adds safety since it helps to keep your eyes on the road as there is no Caller ID display you need to read. The device is even multilingual and supports six languages including American English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and British English. This device is truly hands free One thing you have to admit about most hands free devices is that they are not truly hands free. Typically you have to press a button to answer a call. That’s not the case with the Supertooth 3. After you get a call, and the device announces the name or phone number of the caller, you simply need to say “OK” to answer the call. That way there is no need for you to take your hands off the wheel. Simple installation I really like how the Supertooth 3 installs on your visor. Basically, there is a metal clip that attaches to your visor, the device then attaches to the metal clip by using built-in magnets on the back of the casing. This makes it really easy to take the device in and out of the car as needed without the need to pull the clip off of the visor. It has its own battery You don’t have to worry about a dangling cord coming from your visor to power the device. That’s because the Supertooth 3 has a built-in battery which offers 15 hours of talk time and 800 hours of standby time. If you need to plug the device into the car then you can use the included car adapter or bring it in the house and plug it into the AC travel charger. Summary So far the Supertooth 3 by BlueAnt is the favorite Bluetooth speakerphones I have reviewed. That’s probably due to its slim design, long battery life and voice prompts for setup and call announcements. I also really like the fact that I can answer calls just using my voice. You can pick up the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 for under US$100 from most online retailers.
