A Better Way to do Bluetooth
Sometimes, a Bluetooth Headset is not practical. Sometimes, we don't want a blinking blue device hanging out our ear. Sometimes, we just want to be able to talk in our cars with no physical limitations whatsoever. For those times - the BlueAnt Supertooth II might be just what we need.
BlueAnt is an Australian based company with offices around the globe. They are exclusively dedicated to manufacturing and selling quality Bluetooth Audio accessories. While it seems that just about everybody is jumping onto the BlueTooth bandwagon these days, very few companies are exclusively dedicated to Bluetooth technology. The dedication shows.
This review will cover the Supertooth II Bluetooth Portable Handsfree unit. The Supertooth is mounted magnetically to the sun visor in the car - or it can be used as a stand alone speaker phone in your home.
The Supertooth II Portable Handsfree is designed primarily for the car – but it could be used anywhere. It is a relatively compact unit that attaches magnetically (very securely, I might add) to a clip on the sun-visor. The full specifications from the BlueAnt website are as follows:
