BlueAnt Q2 Platinum Bluetooth headset released

BlueAnt Wireless, a leading innovator of Bluetooth peripheral devices, has introduced the BlueAnt Q2 Platinum, a fashion-forward addition to the critically acclaimed Q2 product line. The Q2 Platinum offers consumers a new, sophisticated color choice that complements the Q2's distinctive, sleek design.

This latest addition to the best-selling BlueAnt Q2 Smart Bluetooth Headset family features advanced voice-control technology and the first fully integrated text-to-speech feature. The Q2 Platinum delivers complete hands-free communications, as consumers only have to say "Phone Commands" to activate the headset and make a call. Answering calls is equally easy, as mobile users simply say "Answer" or "Ignore." The Q2 Platinum also supports BlueAnt's "Caller Name Announce" feature that reads the names of incoming callers from a database of up to 2,000 mobile phone contacts, which are transferred automatically when the phone and headset are paired.

With the BlueAnt Q2 Platinum, consumers can take advantage of industry-leading noise reduction and unparalleled call clarity. All Q2 headsets feature Wind Armour Technology, the most advanced noise cancellation on the market (twice the industry average) as well as professionally sculpted and precision-tuned sound. Tight integration with Microsoft's Bing 411 service ensures seamless access to stock quotes, movie times, weather, sports, news, traffic updates and more.

Another standard feature on the Q2 Platinum is a free, downloadable Android application that enables any Android 2.0+ handset to play text messages through the headset. BlueAnt also has partnered with Vlingo on its SafeReader application, which enables consumers to hear text and email messages on Blackberry smartphones and Android 2.0+ devices equipped with any Q2 family headset. The Q2 Platinum comes equipped with A2DP audio streaming and multipoint functionality.

The BlueAnt Q2 Platinum is available online from BlueAnt at www.blueantwireless.com for an MSRP of $129.
