Believe it or not - no one has thought of a fully voice controlled Bluetooth headset. Not commercially, anyway! Although this would have been a logical step towards controlling your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, the first of its kind has just been introduced by BlueAnt.
Featuring the BlueGenie Voice Interface and BlueAnt's Voice Isolation Technology, the company describes the product as being the most advanced and sophisticated headset on the market. The user is able to fully interact with his mobile phone via the headset's voice interface software. They will be able to give common commands such as “Pair Me,” “Redial,” “Call Back,” “Answer/Ignore,” or even ask the handset “What can I say?” for the device to start enumerating verbally a list of all features available for the interface.
With a nice, stylish form that allows it to easily be clipped to your tie or jacked when you're not using it, the device also has new Comply Foam Tips and rubber ear gels in order to provide additional comfort and block peripheral nose. Also the first product on the market to incorporate the Bluetooth version 2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate specification, “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. 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”.
Coming with three charger options for the car, phone or USB connection, and able to be paired with up to eight Bluetooth devices, you will hardly say this device is incompatible with any similar technology. The perfect gadget for talking from your car while keeping your hands on the steering wheel, the BlueAnt V1 offers up to five hours of talk time or 200 hours of standby time. That is more than enough!
