Motorola Motopure H12: Eartastic Bluetooth headset
Tags: motorola, headset, case, charge
Motorola has a had a bit of a bumpy ride in the past six months but recently we've seen some pretty cool stuff come from the American manufacturer, including the Razr 2 V8 and this little Bluetooth headset, called the Motopure H12.
Similar to the Jawbone, this petite headset uses noise-cancelling technology to produce a better experience when you're listening to a caller. At only 10g, the H12 is really light and very wearable, too.
According to a Motorola PR, the H12 was voted the most comfortable design during testing and we believe it. It's easy to put on and doesn't feel awkward on the side of your ear -- we think it's even more cosy than the Jawbone.
It's also really easy to charge up using the magnetic dock (pictured left) and there's even a portable carrying case (right) that doubles up as a charger for filling up the battery on the go.
But the big questions are how does it sound and is it better than the Jawbone? Well, our first impressions of the sound quality were that it's as good as the Jawbone with no noteworthy differences between the two. -Andrew Lim

I picked one of these up last night after reading about it @ Engadget and I'm not as yet sure that the comments about call quality are accurate. It's definitely much smaller and nicer looking than the Jawbone, and the noise reduction seems to be on par with it as well, but the incoming call quality at high volume isn't that great - I get a pretty good amount of distortion. I have 30 days to try it out though so I'm going to make the most of it.

Quite a retro look as well, all that perforated stainless steel, resembled a radio from the 1970s. But it looks contemporary as well, and if the sound performance is as good as you say then it looks a real winner.
