A couple months ago, I reviewed BlueAnt’s V1 voice controlled Bluetooth headset and while the hardware end of the V1 was good, I found the voice interface to be rather useless. Today we will be taking a look at BlueAnt’s newest voice controlled headset, the Q1. While the specs are fairly similar to the V1, the Q1 sports a new look, a couple new features, and hopefully a much improved voice control interface. Continue reading
BlueAnt’s newest headset, the V1, is a pretty unique Bluetooth headset. The feature set is almost exactly the same as BlueAnt’s z9i Bluetooth headset with one major difference. The V1 is the only Bluetooth headset I could find that allows the headset to almost completely be controlled by voice commands.
I have had mixed results with Bluetooth headsets. My biggest complaint has always been that the microphones picked up all but the quietest of background noises. The z9i from BlueAnt claims to reduce the amount of background noise that is transmitted. To complete this task, the z9i uses a combination of two microphones and BlueAnt’s Voice Isolation Technology. Sounds good in theory but does the z9i live up to BlueAnt’s claims?
Laws requiring cell phones to be used in conjunction with a hands free device while driving are becoming increasingly popular, so many people are forced to use a Bluetooth device or similar. However, Bluetooth headsets are not for everyone. The BlueAnt Supertooth 3 fits into this niche perfectly. This Bluetooth car kit can be clipped to the visor or mounted any number of other places, so those who prefer not to have a headset on their ear can still enjoy it.
