Motorola H17 folding Bluetooth Wireless Headset unveiled

Motorola has recently unveiled a new Bluetooth wireless headset coming with a folding microphone, the H17. Not only does it make the device smaller when not in use, but also works as a switch to turn off the headset. Motorola's RapidConnect system allows the H17 to power-up and answer a call in one quick flip of the microphone boom.

Motorola H17 also features voice prompts that guide you through the pairing process, tell you when mute mode is activated or when the battery level is low. Motorola claims that the 9g (.3oz) headset's battery is good for up to 5 hours of talk time on a full charge, but it can be rapid charged with 2 hours of talk time after only spending 15 minutes on its charger. Another useful feature is the H17's ability to connect simultaneously with two devices, so it can be used with a work and personal phone at the same time.

Motorola H17 folding Bluetooth headset supports the company's CrystalTalk dual-mic noise reduction system, and it is even designed to withstand 5mph winds. The Motorola H17 is expected to be available for purchase soon.
