Best Cell Phone Accessory of CTIA Wireless 2008: BlueAnt V1 Voice-Controlled Headset
April 3rd, 2008 by Joanna Stern
One of the downfalls of Bluetooth headsets are the button pushes and holds required to pair and control these miniscule devices. The BlueAnt V1 is different.
As the world’s first voice-controlled Bluetooth headset, the BlueAnt V1 allows users to easily control most functions using the ‘BlueGenie Voice Interface’. Simply speak to it while holding down a button, and the V1 will talk to you. You can ask it to “pair” and it will go into pairing mode; ask it for “battery life” and it will repeat back a percentage of power remaining.
The design of the headset is simple and its single activation button provides users with total control. The BlueAnt V1 is a Bluetooth breakthrough.
