BlueAnt Q1 Bluetooth Headset Eliminates All Background Noise

BlueAnt, the Bluetooth headset maker which gave us BlueAnt V1 in 2008, has announced its latest offering – the BlueAnt Q1 Bluetooth headset. The Q1 is stylishly designed with a removable over-ear loop and an in-ear earpiece. It has added more features to the pathbreaking voice interfacing technology of its predecessor, the V1.

The main feature of the Q1 is its ability to cancel out wind noise, echoes, and road noise using mechanical and digital cancellation technology. It would be fun to learn about the mechanical aspect of noise cancellation – is it the design or are there some movable flaps or something like that?

So even if you are out in 10 mph winds your listener is assured of catching the deep timbre of your voice in all its purity. With the built-in voice commands you can add voice dialing even to phones that do not have it already.The Q1 gives an impressive 4 hours of talk time and 120 hours of standby. Packet loss concealment enables smoother conversations without any dropped phrases. Multipoint technology enables you to connect to two phones simultaneously. Other features worth mentioning include digital signal processing software, automatic pairing and reconnection, and automatic volume control.

The Q1 measures 2.17″ X 0.63″ X 0.27″ and will retail for $129.95 from the second quarter of 2009.
