    CNET Review

    September 5, 2008

    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.

    Review Summary: When a call came in, I responded to BlueGenie's query by saying "Answer" or "Ignore." Other terms that came in handy: "Switch headset off," "Check battery," and "Call back" (this last command dialed out to the number of the last call I'd received)

    Review Summary: If you're in a noisy environment, you can turn on the Max voice-isolation setting (by tapping the call button once), which will help remove noise and allow you to keep talking. When I had my tunes blaring louder than usual, the person on the other end ...
