The BlueAnt Supertooth Light is the newest visor mounted hands free speakerphone in the BlueAnt Supertooth range. The suffix ‘light' is well deserved, as this slick looking device weighs in at a measly 115g (4.1oz). The weight distribution of the device is excellent and it feels deceptively lighter than that figure suggests, but despite this, it performed fantastically in our tests.

Physically, you could not describe the Supertooth Light as bulky, but you would be forgiven for calling it sexy. The rectangular shape is simple yet classy, and while the glossy black finish is quite fingerprint prone it does have an air of elegance to it. The Supertooth Light measures 122mm x 60.2mm x 18.2mm (4.8" x 2.37" x 0.7") with the microphone retracted. To attach the Supertooth Light to a car's sun visor, a small metal clip slides securely onto the visor and is then secured to the back of the Supertooth Light via two strong magnets. We found these magnets to be more than strong enough to withstand rough roads and regular use of the call buttons without noticeable movement, though turning the unit on required two hands to ensure it wasn't detached from the clip.

Turning the device on was a case of simply pressing the spring loaded microphone and letting it extend out from the side. While this did subtract from the good looks of the unit to a small extent, the benefit of intuitive functionality well outweighs any negatives. The answer and end call buttons, located on the front of the unit, are one of our favourite parts of this device. They are a very good size to accommodate most fingers and give great tactile feedback. They are also backlit, making them easy to find in the dark. The other two buttons on the device are the volume control buttons, which are located on top of the unit. These are also quite responsive and feel good, but it took a whole hand to operate them as you need to squeeze the whole unit to prevent it moving, rather than the one finger operation of the call buttons. The front of the unit also houses one red and one blue LED light that are bright enough to be noticed, but are fairly unobtrusive at night.

The battery in the Supertooth Light was nothing short of impressive. It returned a great 12 hours of talk time and is accompanied by an amazing manufacturer claim of over 30 days of standby time. As well as the astounding battery performance, it comes with a nice assortment of charging options catering for all needs: an AC wall charger, a USB charger, and of course a car charger.
