 Bluetooth headset maker BlueAnt is here at CES, showing off their newest model: the Q1, which rolls together voice control, noise cancellation and a sleek design to try to knock Aliph's New Jawbone off its pedestal as the top Bluetooth headset in the US.
The Q1 uses both mechanical and digital noise cancellation to knock out wind and road noise. It's BlueAnt's first headset to use both methods of noise cancellation, company spokeswoman Lauren Sell said.
The Q1 also includes the built-in voice commands that we first saw on BlueAnt's V1, which essentially adds voice dialing to phones that don't have it already. The headset has about 4 hours of talk time and 120 hours standby on a charge, according to BlueAnt.
The BlueAnt Q1 will cost $129.95 when it comes out in the second quarter of this year.

Nice, another noise-cancelling headset. Looks like everyone's going after the Jawbone, first Motorola and now BlueAnt. Competition is great and consumers will benefit from the variety of options in my opinion.
