The editors didn't like

  • The volume controls are a bit hard to press
  • A tad pricey
  • For such a great headset
  • It could come in more than just 2 colors (cough cough...champagne..cough cough)
  • The BlueAnt Z9i still suffers from rather stiff volume controls
  • And it doesnt feel as secure without the ear hook.
  • Too many functions to remember
  • Proprietary USB connector
  • No car charger included
  • No instant connect
  • Morsecode user interface to access some features
  • Some unnecessary blinking
  • Oh how I wish there were a stereo version
  • Battery life is on the short side. Noise cancellation falls behind the class leaders.
  • It would be nice if there were more colour choices say purple?
  • Mediocre noise-canceling performance
  • Sounds grainy in silent settings
  • Complicated firmware upgrade process
  • Firmware upgrade instructions only for Windows XP
  • Wouldn’t stay in my ear without ear loop

  • I was pleasantly surprised with the BlueAnt z9i. While the Voice Isolation technology did not completely filter out background noise, it did greatly reduce the amount of background noise transmitted. The z9i is also easy to use, light weight, comfortab...

  • Abstract:  Available in either glossy black or soft-touch red (ours was the former), the Z9i is truly small and light. At an inch-and-a-half in length and .35 ounces, it can be easy to forget youre wearing the Z9i. Controls on the Z9i consist of a large multi-fu...

  • If you travel frequently and use your cell phone a lot then you are aware that you should have a way to use your cell phone hands free. The BlueAnt Z9i Bluetooth headset may be the solution for you. Its lightweight, easy to use and provides features t...

  • Sturdy fit, Easy to pair, Works with up to 5 devices
  • Mediocre noise-canceling performance
  • There’s no doubt that the BlueAnt Z9i delivers clearer sound in noisy environments than a run-of-the-mill headset. But compared with premium noise-canceling headsets, including the Aliph Jawbone (street-priced at about $100), its voice quality and d...

  • Abstract:  In the case of Bluetooth headsets, too small is never a bad thing. The BlueAnt Z9i Blueooth headset is the perfect mix of size, weight and comfort. But those attributes are nothing without sound quality, volume and connectivity. So how does the Z9i per...

  • The Z9i is the “sequel” to the impressive Z9 Bluetooth headset from BlueAnt. It’s impressive. Somehow, the company found a way to add more features to an already feature-rich headset. Big deal. Who needs multitudinous features? Somehow...
