BlueAnt V1

By (cnet.com)

The BlueAnt V1 is the world's first voice-controlled headset. It does not require voice recognition training and is easy to comprehend and use. The built-in capability to call GOOG-411 is a nice bonus. The audio quality is excellent, with top-notch ...

Great fit, excellent sound quality in a variety of situations.

"Voice commands need work."

Good sound and volume on both ends. Comfortable fit. Volume buttons easy to operate.

Voice recognition needs improvement. I have yet to be able to get the headset to recognize my "answer" command! Sometimes phone needs to be turned on and off to re-pair with V1.

Manufacturer's Description

BlueAnt's V1 Voice Controlled Bluetooth Headset introduces the revolutionary BlueGenie Voice User Interface, letting you control most functions with the sound of your voice. Amazingly, the headset will actually talk back to you too! Pushing one button activates the voice recognition technology and gives you control of all the functions of the V1, just by talking. If you need assistance, ask for it and the headset will verbally help you get the commands you want.
