Motorola ships H375, H680 Bluetooth headsets

Motorola this afternoon began rolling out two new Bluetooth earpieces which both blend in with the most stylish cellphones and take little time to set up for a new connection. The glossy black H680 (pictured) shrinks the already small design of most wireless headsets by shifting the micro USB connection from the headset to the bundled carrying case; this both takes the weight off the ear and makes for easier charging, Motorola says. It also allows for a bigger battery that powers the H680 for as much as nine hours of uninterrupted talk time or 12 days when on standby.

A starter headset, the H375, is simpler in design with a more textured and rounded look but still provides an onboard battery check to warn users ahead of when the battery will drop out. The running time of the device was not listed. Both devices are based on EasyPair technology which is said to ease Bluetooth pairing with any hands-free capable audio source, and have specially contoured ear hooks that keep the earbud closer to the ear than some rivals. The H375 and H680 alike should be available either now or in the near future, with prices and exact releases depending on the individual country.
