BlueAnt V1 wins Best Cell Phone Accessory at CTIA Wireless 2008

The BlueAnt V1 Voice-Controlled Bluetooth Headset has won an award at the recently concluded CTIA Wireless 2008. Boasting of the "Best Cell Phone Accessory", the headset lets users easily control most functions of their headset through the BlueGenie Voice Interface. You can forget about pushing buttons on the device, except for a single activation button that lets the user control the V1's menu system through a voice interface.

The BlueAnt V1 also incorporates dual microphones and advanced techniques to extract the user's voice signal from ambient sounds for clear speech. The Bluetooth headset also features echo cancellation and wind noise protection. With support for Bluetooth 2.1, the manufacturers claim a battery life of 6 hours talk-time or 200 hours standby.

Priced at US $129.95, it is available from BlueAnt.
