Some reviewers highlight its voice control options as second to none. Users give high marks to the Q2's sound quality and ease of use, but complain that its mesh screen attracts lint and dust.

With a 4-star, very good rating from the editors, the BlueAnt Q2 is in third place in PCMag.com's top mono Bluetooth headsets. Its accurate voice control and comfortable fit are highlights of this model. However, Lendino says that its noise cancellation is not the best of the high-end headsets on the market.

As one of PC World's top Bluetooth headsets, the BlueAnt Q2 receives praise for its ease of use and nearly hands-free operation. McEvoy highlights that the Q2 works best when you use your voice to issue commands rather than its buttons.
