Motorola HT820

The recently launched Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphone is not just a regular headphone. It removes the need to carry headphones for listening to music and a separate mono Bluetooth headset for handsfree voice communication, by integrating a microphone into the Bluetooth stereo headphones for use with voice calling. Motorola claims the HT820 Bluetooth headphone can support 14 hours of stereo music, 17 hours of talktime and 500 hours standby time.

The advanced DSP technology within the *CSR’s BlueCore3-Multimedia (BlueCore3-MM) chip significantly reduces background noise and echo and allows the headset to switch between paired devices. The headphones can receive music from any Bluetooth-enabled device that supports the new (A2DP)Advance Audio Distribution Profile, thus widening the range of potential music sources.

Each ear speaker of the Motorola HT820 features either controls for voice calls: volume up and down, receive, answer, end call, call hold or voice dialing; or music: play, pause, stop, skip forward and reverse. Switching between music mode and phone call mode is as simple as one touch of the headphone’s multifunction button.

*CSR plc is the leading global provider of Bluetooth technology and has developed expertise in other single-chip wireless communication standards such as Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11). CSR offers developed hardware/software solutions for Bluetooth based around BlueCore, a fully integrated 2.4 GHz radio, baseband and microcontroller.
