Motorola Endeavor HX1 Bone Conducting Bluetooth Headset review

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Sep 14th 2009 1 Comment

The Bluetooth headset market has split in recent years, with the budget end of the market being served by low-cost, simple devices for $50 or under, and the high-end packing complex noise-reduction and DSP for $100 upward.  Into that fray steps Motorola, whose Endeavor HX1 headset packs military-type bone conduction in order – they claim – to completely vanquish background noise.  After the cut, check out the full SlashGear review and why we reckon the HX1 isn’t quite ready for the urban battlefield.

It’s been a week of mobile device reviews, along with the Bluetooth accessories that go with them, here at SlashGear, with Samsung’s Tocco Ultra S8300 and Instinct S30 showing up for playtime.  We also gave our opinion on the big news in Bluetooth headsets, in the shape of the Plantronics Voyager Pro and the Aliph Jawbone PRIME.  Finally, HTC’s Touch Diamond2 flaunted itself in a video unboxing, while the Mophie Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3G got its review.

Jawbone PRIME Bluetooth Headset hands-on

By Vincent Nguyen on Wednesday, Apr 22nd 2009 1 Comment

High-end headset manufacturer Aliph have announced a new model, the Jawbone PRIME Bluetooth Headset.  The Jawbone PRIME uses NoiseAssassin 2.0, a new noise-elimination system that can not only improve suppression by up to 9dB – that’s five times better than previous versions – but allow for fail safe voice recognition.  During my test call with Chris Davies, he had no idea that I was talking to him from one of the busiest plaza in Rome, where half a dozen buses, pedestrians, motorcycles and cars were whizzing back and forth!  With this level of superior sound quality, the price of $129.99 is worth every single penny.
