As devices converge, digital music is becoming more and more prolific. In turn this is leading to the creation of other hybrid devices such as Blueant's X5 Stereo Headset, which combines the traditional hands free kit with a pair of stereo headphones. Several such products exist on the market, and while their usefulness cannot be denied it often seems like manufacturers have to sacrifice quality to cram in all the functionality they require. The X5 operates quite well on a headset level, but really struggles to provide a satisfying audio experience.
The X5 is a functional Bluetooth headset that does what it claims, but is really let down by poor quality audio, making it hard to recommend as a replacement for your current pair of headphones.
Convenient, Good call quality;
Poor music quality, Flimsy design;
