BlueAnt Wireless, one of the major innovators of Bluetooth peripheral devices, recently announced the availability of the BlueAnt Q2 Platinum Bluetooth headset. The product is the latest addition to their highly-acclaimed Q2 lineup. BlueAnt Q2 Platinum Bluetooth comes with advanced voice-control technology, as well as fully integrated text-to-speech features.

Furthermore, users will only have to say “Phone Commands” to activate the headset and make a call.

The same goes for actions such as answering or rejecting calls, as users simply say “Answer” or “Ignore.”

“We're committed to giving consumers the flexibility to choose the headset that best fits their unique style as well as their mobile communications needs,” says David Hogan, CEO of BlueAnt Wireless.

“With the Q2 Platinum, we're offering a savvy color choice that accentuates the Q2's strikingly stylish design. This new headset has all the advanced functionality of the award-winning Q2, so it not only looks sophisticated but also sounds great, which makes it a great gift for anyone with discerning taste this holiday season.”

In addition to the features above, the Q2 Platinum also supports “Caller Name Announce” function that reads the names of incoming callers from a database of up to 2,000 mobile phone contacts. This feature is new and the manufacturer hasn't announced it officially.

Another standard feature that users get along with the Q2 Platinum Bluetooth headset is a free Android application that enables Android smartphones that run on Android 2.0 or newer platforms to play text messages through the headset.

The application is the result of the collaboration between Vlingo and BlueAnt and is based on the former's SafeReader application, which enables consumers to hear text and email messages on Blackberry smartphones and Android devices equipped with any Q2 family headset.

The BlueAnt Q2 Platinum Bluetooth headset is available now from BlueAnt’s website for $129.
