Griffin SmartTalk Bluetooth headset

Griffin SmartTalk Bluetooth headset. Griffin Technology has announced the SmartTalk Bluetooth headset. This new headset from Griffin incorporates STEP Labs' STEPvoice acoustic voice separation technology to eliminate background noise, reduce wind noise, and improve voice quality.

This means phenomenally clear, hands-free conversations, even under noisy, real-world conditions. The SmartTalk Bluetooth earpiece can be easily paired with iPhone or any Bluetooth-enabled phone. Human voice confirmations tell the user that the device is “Pairing,” “Powered On,” and other helpful functions.

STEP Labs technology uses the physics of sound propagation to define the shape and arrival time of sound waves to isolate voice signals from undesired noises. STEP Labs’ software uses these distinctions to tell the difference between the user’s voice and other voices, sounds, and noises, preserving the natural fidelity of the voice without distortion and producing near-perfect voice recognition performance, and impeccable noise cancellation.

SmartTalk Bluetooth is already available for $99.99. SmartTalk Bluetooth with PowerJolt car charger $119.99 - available February '09.
