BlueAnt's slogan is it's "Australian for Bluetooth," and even though this headset manufacturer is quite popular down under, it's making its way in the U.S. market as well. We've reviewed the company's fancier X3 Micro Bluetooth headset in the past, and while it offers the same ease of use and good sound quality, the BlueAnt Wireless T8 Micro is much more affordable at only $49.99. Part of that is because the X3 Micro comes in different colors and offers three charging options, while the T8 Micro only comes in one color and has only one AC charger.

The design of the T8 Micro is reminiscent to the X3 Micro, with its slightly wide body and teardrop shape. Relatively compact at 2x1x0.5 inch, the T8 Micro is outfitted in a rather dull gray and black color scheme. On the front of the headset is the round multifunction button, while the two volume buttons are on its left and right. These buttons flash blue when the headset is activated, though you can choose to turn off the LED indicators if you wish. The buttons were easy enough to press, but we thought the volume buttons were a bit too stiff for our tastes.
