BlueAnt Q1 Bluetooth headset

If you have problems figuring out the buttons on Bluetooth headsets, the Q1 could make things easier

The BlueAnt Q1 is among a group of higher-cost, good-looking Bluetooth headsets that have come out for fashion-conscious users. It isn't quite comfortable enough for business users who spend most of the day on the phone, but the handy voice recognition and reasonably good audio quality makes it a good choice for consumers.

With a typical Bluetooth headset, you can take advantage of some voice controls, as most cell phones support voice dialing. When your phone is connected to a Bluetooth headset, you can say, for example, “Call voicemail” or “Call Jim mobile.” The call then initiates, and you don’t have to touch your phone’s keypad. Such commands originate in your phone, and you hear them through your headset. In contrast, the Q1 houses its own dedicated voice-command system, bypassing your phone’s voice prompts. The voice-controlled interface feels a bit like having my own Jeeves to handle calls–and I like it.
