The Cynic Says……

So yeah, I bought myself a Bluetake BT400 G3 and it finally arrived today. I have to say I like the idea of it, but it doesn’t fit my ear worth a shit. I have enormous ears and the ear loop on this thing is really shallow. I can still hear fine out of it but unfortunately the mic is so close to the earpiece and there’s such a huge gap that everyone that talks to me gets a wicked echo. I think it’s because the mic is picking up what’s coming out of the earpiece and feeding it back through in a loop. I don’t hear an echo on my end but they most definitely do on theirs. The shitty thing is that if I decide to return it, I’ll end up having to pay a 15% restocking fee just to get a different model. I guess I’ll just end up finding someone to buy this thing and ordering another one or something. 15% of $60 is like $9 plus I’ll have to pay to have it shipped back. Figure $15 all told. I’ll have to contact the company I ordered from and see if they can work something out. I’ve heard their customer service is really good and from what I’ve seen so far, I believe it. They had a special for free shipping and I put in the comments section that I’d prefer fedex. They actually emailed me back within 30 minutes saying they couldn’t do fedex and that they only had daily UPS pickups. Anyway, so it took a week to get here and I’m far from happy with it. Sound quality is about average, nothing special but not horrible at all. Needless to say, it’s pointless to have a headset that makes people not want to talk to me because they can hear themselves talking in their own phone. For the record I ordered from BT Boutique and can’t fault them one bit. They’ve been quite helpful as it is. We’ll see how they respond to my complaint.
