Motorola H780 Bluetooth Headset with 7 hours talk time

Motorola H780 Bluetooth headset according to the specification sheet has seven hours talk time. The downside of this is that it has a slightly bulkier design than the H15. However even though the H780 is more bulky than the H15 it actually weighs less at 11g.

The Motorola H780 does not have the flip design like the H15 it does have a handy power slide that you can see at a glance if the power is on or not.

The H780 has a design that is pretty striking, you will either love or hate it, it has a carbon fibre finish and a textured side, have no other information as of yet, but it’s been reported should be put available in Q4.

MOTOPURE H15:New bluetooth device from Motorola

Motorola has released a new folding boom design headset, the MOTOPURE H15, that resurrects the old style of its popular HS850 headset from some years back but provides some new updates both externally and internally, including the company's improved CrystalTalk noise suppression technology. Join us as we test out Motorola's new MOTOPURE H15 Bluetooth headset.

The headset itself is quite compact in size, especially when compared to its older cousin, the HS850. The H15 is quite small but not overly tiny as some headsets found on the market today. The device seems quite sturdy in construction but is a bit heavy feeling and unbalanced when in-ear. The headset ships with a clear plastic ear hook to help offset the awkwardness of its weight and it helps keep the headset in place when walking or moving. Even though the headset ships with various sizes of ear pieces, we just couldn't seem to find the right size and hope Motorola in the future does some work using gels like those on the Plantronics Discovery 925. Sporting a glossy piano black face, the headset is minimalistically designed with only 2 real buttons: a large multi-function button that handles most tasks and a volume rocker located on the edge of the H15. A tiny LED indicator sits smack in the middle of the rocker and is quite discreet when the headset is in use. One of the most fun features on the headset is its microphone flip boom, which is also the H15's on/off switch. Instead of the typical press of a button to power off a device, users can simply fold the metallic silver boom back to ensure that the headset has powered down, which makes standby time mostly a non-issue.

The Motorola MOTOPURE H15, like other Motorola headsets, has very easy to use controls - including its power on/off boom flip. To power up the H15 just simply lower the boom and to power down, just fold back so it is tucked underneath the body of the H15. For pairing, Motorola offers its simple EasyPair technology, which made pairing up to both a RIM BlackBerry Curve and Samsung BlackJack II a breeze. Once paired, the H15 is ready for use. As a call comes in, you simply flip down the boom and, because of Motorola's RapidConnect, you are instantly connected to the call. If you happen to already be wearing the headset when a call comes in, the multi-function button can be used to answer and hang up as well.

The H15 supports all of the standard features one would expect to find, including answering and ending calls, muting and unmuting, redial, and voice dialing (if supported on the handset). If you hold down either volume button, it will reject an incoming call if the phone is in standby. In our experience everything worked well and we found no issues with the overall functionality of the H15.

Blueant V12 LCD Bluetooth Headset

Incorporating an LCD into a headset is not the most obvious design choice. After all, your ear is not usually in your line of vision. Still, it can be darn handy for screening calls without having to check you actual handset. The screen on BlueAnt's V12 LCD Bluetooth Headset does just that, although in most other ways it is a pretty conventional headset.

Motorola H800 Slider Bluetooth Headset

From a product design perspective there’s no doubt that the H800 is an extremely appealing, highly ‘pocketable’ and comfortable to wear headset – it’s thin and has a ‘solid’ and elegant build with no loose bits that could potentially go missing.

Additionally, a feature which now appears to set all the latest Motorola Bluetooth headsets apart is their highly useful “power switch” functionality which quickly let’s you completely switch your headset On/Off instead of letting it drain precious battery life in Standby mode. In the case of the H800 the power switch comes in the form of a “slider” – you simply press the Call Button (silver bar on the left above) which lets the microphone slide out (above right) and automatically turns your headset On and connects to your Treo. To turn Off you simply push the microphone slider back in and there’s also a side Lock button to protect from accidentally switching your headset On in your pocket.

The H800 comes with a Micro USB wall charger which (somewhat inconveniently) plugs at the bottom of the headset (image above). A small Mini USB adapter is also included to use other Motorola chargers.

inally, the H800 is also almost identical to the Jawbone (comparative photos above) in terms of size, shape and weight. However, as I mentioned earlier, once you go beyond mere looks and delve into the rather more important matter of inbound and outbound sound quality the Jawbone wins the contest by a wide margin with its far superior (rather amazing) noise shield capabilities.

Additionally, given the fact that the Jawbone Noise Shield headset is a mere $20 more expensive than the Motorola H800 Bluetooth Headset there is even less of an issue in my mind as to what headset I would choose. Having said this however, I will again repeat that I really like the ‘power switch’ capabilities of the H800 as well as its highly pocketable format – future generations of Jawbone could do well to copy some of this to make an even more superb headset.
