[...] I have one coming for review. I’m particularly interested in comparing the Blueant Q1 with my Jawbone Prime (which is my primary headset these days) in terms of noise reduction and call [...]

Mate anything that can allow for clear conversation when there is a very busy street, with Harley Davison and Helicopter overhead, should speak for itself without much help from marketers!

why not a submersion test… my z9i is a good little swimmer… have it tucked under edge of sunvisor and forget sometimes and pull visor down z9i goes flying… many times right into the console cup holders, has also dropped into bathtub but got it out quickly… yes voice quality (esp)on business calls is No 1 priority so if you get a PTronics Pro or Disc 975 to test that would be good to compare with Prime.. although Jawbones website says the Prime is best BT ever… marketers are never shy little people are they

Hahaha!

I honestly don’t think that a submersion test will be a factor in many of the potential buyers’ decision – especially as it comes with two securely held, ear clips!

I’ll scope out if I can get a Plantronics Voyager Pro to try out. Doesn’t look as cool as Jawbone but I’m always on the hunt for the best call quality.

Speaking of which, I’ve been using wide-band audio at the Telstra offices and the quality is like stereo in your ears!

actually the Z9i has been completely submerged twice now… have read the planatronics Voyager Pro has the best call quality (but it is a beast of a thing)… the Prime came up good in cnets review but behind Voyager….anyway in the interest of your customers why not dip yours in some liquid and see if it still works… as the Z9i rates high on that point & be interesting to see if the Prime will also pass the tea test

Is this device on sale anywhere in Aus?? I am a bit cautious giving credit card details to random web sites.

No the Prime doesn’t come with any sort of shirt clip but you can sort of maneuver the earclip it comes with it to latch onto your shirt, albeit not as secure as purpose-built z9i. I can tell you now that you can’t know out the clips from the Jawbone Prime that easily – they are held in quite securely. It comes with a wide assortment of ear buds and loops.

Haven’t tried dipping it in tea yet…

A sleek looking product and an on point review. Noise assassin sounds great! What options does it have for the anti- in ear bud user?

Hi Arnold… using a z9i and it has been quite good even after dropping into cups of tea etc (more than once, still works fine . One thing that lets down is the shirt clip… it goes flying at the slightest touch and have ‘lost’ it more times than can count… Q. does the Prime have a clip etc to attach to shirt etc? as Z9i is also easy to press in pocket (dont use a handbag and MSVC dials last number etc or the Z91 turns itself off…
