Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo HeadphoneRecently Motorola announced the Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset, it is a high performance, handsfree voice communication, fashionable device, that features BlueCore3-Multimedia which significantly reduces background noise and echo and allows the headset to switch between paired devices.

  • High quality stereo audio.
  • Integrated noise canceling mic.
  • Integrated volume, call and music controls.
  • 3.5mm jack.
  • Supports advance audio distribution Profile (A2DP), thus widening the range of potential music sources.

    The recently launched Motorola HT820 is planned for worldwide distribution in the second half of 2005. motorola.com

    CSR's BlueCore3-MM silicon has enabled the design of wireless stereo headsets to move from theoretical roadmap to consumer product. The Bluetooth hardware is a true single-chip that integrates 8Mbit Flash memory, an internal 16-bit stereo audio CODEC and 24-bit DSP co-processor into an extremely small form factor.

  • Device power consumption rates are less than 100mW (milliwatts), an important factor that helps to support the claimed 14 hours of stereo music, 17 hours of talktime and 500 hours standby of the HT820. In addition to containing an internal stereo codec BlueCore3-MM is compatible with a wide range of popular external stereo codecs, allowing the HT820 to be used with a variety of Bluetooth-enabled stereo devices.

    Each ear speaker 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.

    Problems associated with radio device use in air travel have also been overcome thanks to a supplied cable providing a wired connection to non-Bluetooth devices and safe "airplane mode".
