Introduction:
As more and more people make the move to hands-free calling in their vehicle, companies that make affordable and feature-rich solutions have a great opportunity to capture some market share. This is where a company like BlueAnt comes into play. They have some very high-end solutions as well as some more affordable products that all carry a plethora of features and are designed very well. Today we are looking at one of their latest products - the Rugged T1 Bluetooth Headset. This headset is well built and features great text-to-speech for incoming text messages so that you can remain hands-free while on the road. When combined with an Android phone and Google's own Voice-Actions - you can hear text messages and send text messages using a single button push and only your voice. It sounds like a great idea, and we'll find out how well it performs as we go along.

Just so you know what we are getting into with this review, here's a quick overview from BlueAnt on what this headset is about.
Bundled Accessories:
The BlueAnt T1 includes more goodies that other headsets we've looked at recently. In the bundle are a two sets of extra earbuds as well as a USB charging cable, wall adapter, manuals, user guide and a couple of silicon bumpers to put on the headset to protect it. Unlike the Q2, the T1 comes with two earhooks that allow you to have a spare if you break one. Let's hope that when it breaks, it wasn't because you got hit in the head...
I'm happy to see that the USB cable is a fairly standard micro-USB connector. This makes it easy to carry around a single charger or USB cable to charge multiple devices. This is great for those traveling and don't want to pack a whole bag of charging gear for all of your various electronics.
