Blueant Bluetooth

Talk Bluetooth headsets and the two key names in the business are BlueAnt and Aliph. The two companies take it in turns to hold the top-spot, each trying to outdo the other with noise reduction, added features and general audio quality. For the past few months, Aliph have arguably ruled the roost with their Jawbone 2; now BlueAnt are back with the V1, flaunting a new level of user-independent voice control. Has the headset market flip-flopped back to the Australian company? We’ve been testing out the BlueAnt V1 for the past few weeks to find out.

It wasn’t all that long ago that you’d be looked at oddly for using a Bluetooth headset – people assumed you were talking to yourself – but with the recent proliferation of hands-free driving laws the wireless earpieces have become far more common. At the budget end there are plenty of cheap options, but if you’re looking for something more comprehensive then your choices have generally been Aliph or BlueAnt – with the $129.99 price tags to match. Both have above-average sound quality, comfortable fit (with interchangeable ear-buds as standard) and various degrees of background noise cancellation. What BlueAnt bring to the table now is an unprecedented method of voice control, which they’re calling BlueGenie.

Blueant Bluetooth

The blue ant (Diamma bicolor, also known as the blue-ant or bluebottle) is, despite its name and its appearance, not an ant at all, but rather a species of large solitary parasitic wasp sometimes known as a flower wasp. It is a native of south and southeast Australia, including the Australian states of Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It is the sole member of the subfamily Diamminae, and is both morphologically and behaviorally unusual among members of the family Tiphiidae.
Blue ants have a distinctive metallic blue-green body, with red legs. The female ranges up to 25 mm (1 inch) in length, is wingless and ground-dwelling, and exclusively hunts mole crickets, whereas all other species of tiphiids attack beetle larvae. The cricket is paralysed with venom injected by the female's stinger and an egg is laid upon it so the wasp larva has a ready supply of food. The male is smaller, approximately 15 mm (0.5 inches), and has wings. Adults feed on nectar, and pollinate various native Australian flowers.
