BlueAnt V1
Editors' rating: 4
The good: 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 noise canceling and voice-isolation technologies.
The bad: The BlueAnt V1 doesn't feel secure without the ear hook, and the ear tip may fit a little too deep in the ear for some people. Its design is also a little on the boring side.
The bottom line: The BlueAnt V1 may not wow us designwise, but its voice controls and excellent audio quality more than make up for it.
