Motorola Launches H680 Bluetooth Headset

Motorola has announced the H680 Bluetooth headset at CTIA. According to Motorola, the H680 provides up to approximately eight hours of talk time and approximately eight days of standby time.

"Since our first headset more than five years ago, Motorola has continued to introduce industry-leading Bluetooth enabled products to consumers," said Greg Estell, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, MobileME, Motorola, Inc. "H680 is perfect for users who have been waiting for a more discreet and elegant option, but are not willing to compromise on performance."

It has a metallic finish on the sides and a glass-like finish top, and also has an ear bud/ear hook system. The company states that the ear bud helps provide a stronger audio quality being closer to the ear. The device also comes with interchangeable ear cushions.

"Our goal is to create a more richly integrated and consistent user experience, both visually and functionally, across Motorola devices and accessories. We want consumers to look at Motorola products as objects of desire in addition to objects of necessity. We must continue to build strong emotional connections with the consumer," stated Scott Wilson, Design Director, MobileME, Motorola, Inc.

The H680 is expected to be available in the third quarter of this year in the US. The price is yet to be announced.
