Bluetrek G2

God BT hands-free for active workers on roofs :-) Good batery, simple use. no bad points..

Bluetrek G2 is a great bit of kit works every time clear and no echo

My second Bluetrek G2 unit in 4 years - the first one was driven over! Fortunately have car charger for when unit runs out when on the road. Light, compact, easy to wear, good microphone, short charge, long stand-by (400 hours) and talk time. No. 3 in the Which Mag. reviews. Black with chrome which is smart. Connected easily to my Sony Eric K810i, which was not listed as compatible on the site.

Cheap but then that's probably why it never worked even after returning for a new one! First one never lit up, the next one never paired up with my phone! Very very frustrating! Don't get this ear piece!!!

Nobody can hear me, very muffled sound..I can hear the other person ok though. Also it falls off my ear, I only have small ears and it doesn't fit properly

I loved my Bluetrek G2 headset but then it died, the battery wouldn't charge any more so it ended in the bin.

I bought this unit for my H6315 PDA phone. The speaker quality was very good for the price. The unit is also very compact and lightweight. Unfortunately, the ear clip was very flimsy and the speaker would fall out of my ear within a few minutes of wearing it. This become annoying so I purchase a different headset. This inexpensive unit wasn't bad for the price if you can get the speaker to stay in your ear. If you have a little extra cash I would spend it on a better unit.

Go out - try them all on before you buy them. Don't be scared to spend more on something else if you have to, because this model might be cheap and does the job, but it will annoy you if it doesn't fit properly into your ear!

I bought this Bluetrek G2 headset in the spring of 2004. I had heard about the bandwagon and got my first bluetooth-enabled cell phone: the Sony Ericsson T616. I hunted around for a decent headset, and refused to pay $295 CAD for the one sold by the cell phone company. I stumbled on the Bluetrek G2 for a mere $140 CAD, and since then have had trouble finding an upgrade.

The G2 wasn't the first headset I tried. I first bought a $40 CAD Genexxa headset from Radio Shack that didn't perform to spec, so I returned it the next day. Definitely the adage "you get what you pay for" was true in this case.

But cost-based performance is not always accurate. Two years later, I have trialed the Motorola, Scala 500, and now the Gennum nxZen, and sad to say, no other compares to the look and sound quality of the G2. Although, many of these units are more expensive (except the Scala 500 that I bought for my wife). Way to go Bluetrek!

Bluetooth functionality is controlled by the cell phone. On my T616 the standard power-on method (press the talk button for two seconds) allowed incoming calls to ring in the headset. Not so with the Z520A. Instead, I must use a different method I found on some website last year (pressing the volume down button for eighteen seconds). Funny how the different phones operate totally differently.

The G2 revealed to me the faults of the T616's reception. When I heard static using the handset, that fault was intensified within the headset. Strangely enough, those I spoke to thought I sounded extremely clear. Now I use the Sony Ericsson Z520A and the quality is far better.

I'm all for technology me. But to wear a bluetooth headset and to be not at the controls of of a forward propelling shaft driven internal combustion engine in my eyes is a criminal offence. You have no valid excuse to wear one in public unless you are at the controls of a vehicle. So why do it? Do you want to look important? or special? maybe you didn't get hugged enough as a child. I cant think of a single reason why you would use one of these in any other circumstance apart from the one I've already mentioned. The Bluetrek G2 headset itself is very good and good value for money and when used correctly is an invaluable commodity to the safety conscious road user. But when mis-used can turn a perfectly average person into a total prat.
