BlueAnt Wireless, the Australian company specialized in Bluetooth communications, announced today the availability of its latest Bluetooth headset, the V1, in North America.

Although it was first presented back in January, during CES 2008, and its initial release date was said to be sometime in April, BlueAnt V1 has only now got the chance to hit the market. The small device is presented as the world's first voice controlled Bluetooth headset, coming with an elegant look paired with a nice set of features.

First of all, the V1 leverages on the BlueGenie Voice Interface developed by Sensory Inc., which allows its owners to control all of its functions by voice only. Furthermore, the V1 brings dual microphones for a crystal-clear sound, Voice Isolation technology, Bluetooth 2.1 compatibility and a 2-year replacement warranty.

"The V1 is by far the most advanced headset on the market today with the superior sound quality and wearability you expect from BlueAnt, enhanced by new and unique voice control capabilities," said Taisen Maddern, BlueAnt chief executive officer. "The intuitive voice interface not only appeals to technology power users, but also first-time Bluetooth headset users looking for a simple yet effective hands-free solution."

Todd Mozer CEO at Sensory Inc., added, "BlueAnt is a true innovator in this industry and we are happy to see our BlueGenie Voice Interface technology introduced to consumers in this cutting-edge Bluetooth headset. We expect users to embrace the voice interface of the V1 as an intuitive and much easier and safer means of interacting with a headset, allowing the user to not only go hands-free but also eyes-free in the car."

BlueAnt V1 can be bought either online, from the BlueAnt official website, or via specialized retail stores across North America. Its suggested retail price is of 129.95 USD.
