Motorola unveils the H690 Bluetooth headset
Motorola H690
(Credit: Motorola)Motorola introduced the Motorola H690 Bluetooth headset today, which is a successor to the Motorola H680 from last year. It looks almost the same design-wise, but the H690 boasts noise-reduction technology that was absent from the H680. It has dual microphones and echo cancellation, which promises better audio performance. The H690 also comes with "TrueComfort" ear buds for better comfort, as well as the usual headset features like voice dialing and a battery status indicator. The rated talk time is 5.5 hours and standby time is up to eight days. The H690 is expected to debut in Q2, though pricing is not yet known.

- I bought the H690 and love it except for the rubber earpices that are too big for most humans, the sound quality is amazing...but..<br /> I had to replace it twice now. The first one didn't work from the start, the replacement worked for three weeks, before I became hard to hear.. I could hear a hiss full time, and barely 100 hours on it. The store I bought it from quickly passes me a new one to replace, so that's ok I guess. <br /> I phoned Motorola, to ask them why so crappy, and turns out they naver recieve many complaints at all about this unit. The states will send you a new one, not requiring the old one, and me here in Canada must send in the old one first to get a replacement unit.<br /> I've had it on for a twelve hour shift with battery to spare, talk time is WELL over the 5.5 they claim. More like 8-12.. It outlasts my Samsung cell which needs recharge twice before the H690 does...<br /> Buy it, it's a good unit.
