BlueAnt V1
Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in Gadgets

The BlueAnt V1 is the world’s first voice-controlled headset featuring advanced voice recognition technology and Bluetooth 2.1 wireless connectivity with Enhanced Data Rate.
The BlueGenie Voice Interface from Sensory, the leader in speech technologies for consumer products, enables voice commands support on the headset so you won’t need to press any button to change settings like pairing, volume and connection status. Instead, you’ll just say "Pair Me", "Redial", "Call Back", "Answer/Ignore Call", "Call GOOG-411", or other similar commands. In case you don’t know what to ask for just tell the headset “What can I say?†and it will instantly answer with all the available functionalities. For learning more about the feature you could say “Teach me†and it will verbally tell you what it knows to do.
"The V1 is by far the most advanced headset on the market today with the superior sound quality and wearability you expect from BlueAnt, enhanced by new and unique voice control capabilities,†says Taisen Maddern, CEO of BlueAnt. “The intuitive voice interface not only appeals to technology power users, but also first-time Bluetooth headset users looking for a simple yet effective hands-free solution."

BlueAnt Wireless, the global supplier of Bluetooth peripheral devices and accessories, added the patented Voice Isolation Technology to the V1 headset to enable advanced methods of separating the user’s voice signal from the background sounds. This way the noise is eliminated, the echo is canceled and the discussion is protected of wind noise as well.
It is the best Bluetooth headset of the moment and in addition it sports a stylish design in a lightweight form. You can attach it to your tie, shirt or other cloth, while the smart Comply Foam Tips are in charge with blocking external noises.
Among its features we have dual microphones for clear communication, firmware updates via USB, charging support for car, phone and USB, pairing support for up 8 Bluetooth devices, 5 hours talk time, 200 hours standby, and a retail price of $129.95.

"BlueAnt is a true innovator in this industry and we are happy to see our BlueGenie Voice Interface technology introduced to consumers in this cutting-edge Bluetooth headset,†said Todd Mozer, CEO at Sensory. “We expect users to embrace the voice interface of the V1 as an intuitive and much easier and safer means of interacting with a headset, allowing the user to not only go hands-free but also eyes-free in the car."
BlueAnt V1 is available for pre-orders at a price of $99.99 and it will arrive on August 29.
