BlueSpoon AX: Not an Actual Spoon. Or an Ax.
Pure Pockets says: "At first I could not see how it was going to stay o*n my head. You will find no earloop o*n this headset which is typical to other headsets. The AX uses a very creative and successful way of mounting to the ear. The included earbuds have a small antennae-like piece extending from them which is used to wrap inside the ear fold to hold it in place."
Freepaq says: "The earpiece transports the sound of the loudspeaker directly in the heart of your auditory canal, not of losses at the time of the communications but that involving a loss of its outside on the ear which carries BlueSpoon. However this one is very pleasant to carry, in spite of a a little funny feeling at the beginning, but it disappears very quickly."
Here's a rather innovative device! The earpiece antenna thingie is an interesting way to solve the problem of keeping the thing in your ear when you're engaged in frolicking and cavorting, or whatever it is that people do when they drop their earpieces. Personally, this kind of reminds me of that creepy ear bug in The Wrath of Khan. 8O What do you think?

Damn you, Pat! Now I'm never going to be able to use a Bluespoon. :lol:
BTW - this is not the first Bluespoon - it's just the latest variation. They've been doing some amazing miniaturization work.

Nextlink makes great products. The best Bluetooth earpieces out there, IMO.
The AX is no exception. Great hardware.
On Howard Forums, I'm on the beta tester list for Nextlink's yet-to-be-released 5G earpiece which is even smaller than the new AX. Just when you thought they couldn't make an earpiece any smaller, here comes the 5G... In the thread, there was mention that the 5G will have jawbone technology, but it won't. According to Nextlink, it will be awhile before a BT-enabled 5G with jawbone technology will be available, if ever (not to mention, very expensive). Read through the whole thread and you'll have a clear picture of what the 5G is and how it's progressing. You can see the 5G thread here: 5G Babyspoon
There's also a thread on the AX on Howard Forums as well. See it here: Bluespoon AX
Nextlink, based out of Denmark, is a really fantastic company. The guys are very helpful and design great products. To see what they offer, go here: Nextlink.
Nextlink does not sell direct, so anyone wanting one of their products will have to find an authorized reseller. A good place to buy Nextlink product is at Pilcon. I bought my Digital Bluespoon Gold from them. Pilcon is an authorized reseller of Nextlink products.

How's the audip pickup on this thing? It looks really sweet, but with the mic being so far from your mouth, I'd be worried that I'd have to speak up. Anyone know?

The Audio Pickup is ok. You sound clear......but distant. I have not had any problems loosing it accept when I tried to carry it on the included carry-strap. It would occasionally come loose and fall off!
