iVOICE launches R1 Bluetooth handsfree kit and Baby-ai dual-mic Bluetooth headset

Recently, Bluetooth accessories maker iVOICE Technologies unveiled two new devices: R1 Bluetooth Handsfree Kit and Baby-ai Dual Mic Bluetooth Headset. Both devices use the latest Bluetooth Profile version (2.1) and both incorporate the company’s proprietary technology for advanced noise cancellation, multi-microphone noise suppression and echo reduction.

Touted as the “advanced solution for hands-free calling when in the car,” the R1 Bluetooth Handsfree Kit is a portable visor speakerphone that can be paired with up to eight devices at once and supports two simultaneous Bluetooth connections through iVOICE iCONNECT 2 technology. There are two modes of work available – Isolation and MobileConference mode. While in former mode, the microphone picks up only the voice from the driver’s seat and the background noise in the passenger areas is eliminated. On the other hand, in MobileConference mode, the microphone array is 360 degrees and picks up all voices in the calling environment. The R1 utilizes a 3 watt speaker and has a battery that can work for up to 30 hours in talk mode.

As for the Baby-ai Bluetooth headset, thanks to its two microphones that work in synergy, it optimizes speech intelligibility to remove background noise. The device sports what they say is a “modern teardrop design,” and just like the R1 can be paired with up to eight Bluetooth devices and, through iCONNECT 2 technology, can connect to two mobile phones simultaneously. The Baby-ai has a battery which provides up to six hours of talk and up to 200 hours of standby time.

Finally, both the R1 and Baby-ai feature iNTELLIGENT VOICE OPERATOR technology, which reports the Caller ID phone number, as well as Voice Guided technology, which provides user-friendly voice prompts to guide consumers when pairing with a mobile phone.

The R1 and Baby-ai are now available in a variety of colors through many e-tailers. The R1 costs $99, while Baby-ai could be yours for $79. More information is available on iVOICE’s website.
