Motorola Endeaver HX1 Review and Giveaway...

I was excited to be able to review this new cool Motorola Endeaver HX1 Bluetooth! I absolutely love it. I love having my hands free when I drive and when you put it on stealth mode you can drive with the windows down and it cuts out all the background noise from the wind. This is a really nice feature, especially with summer just starting. I love the looks of it! It's also so comfortable on my ear that I don't even realize I have it on. I can answer calls by just touching a button on the side of it. It has voice commands so I can tell it to call someone and it calls them for me. This is definitely a top quality Bluetooth! Thanks Motorola for the great product!

Motorola Endeavor HX1 Fact Sheet

Brave New Elements

Motorola Endeavor HX1: Brave New Elements
Hear and be heard on hands-free calls¹ in the most vicious environments with Motorola Endeavor HX1, the first headset to combine Motorola’s CrystalTalk™ noise cancellation technology with the new stealth mode. With a touch of a button, the stealth mode is activated and an in-ear sensor uses true bone conduction technology to relay only your voice while knocking out the most extreme noise and wind for a revolutionary premium headset experience.

Seals Out Sound
Whether you battle everyday noise while driving through a wind tunnel or extreme noise when listening to a concert, Motorola Endeavor HX1 gives you the power, technology and guts to make hands-free calls¹ wherever you roam. With a comfortable wearing style and in-ear sensor it is now possible to be heard, even in fierce wind and noise environments. Created with the same bone conduction technology that special military forces around the world use, Motorola Endeavor is not your average headset. When the sound around you becomes disruptive, simply switch on the stealth mode to turn off the exterior microphone and seal off background noise from your conversation¹ so you know you’re being heard.

The Truth about Bone Conduction
The stealth mode uses true bone conduction technology to deliver a superior audio experience on Motorola Endeavor HX1. True bone conduction technology found in Motorola Endeavor HX1 trumps imposters by using an in-ear sensor to seal off outside noise. When the stealth mode is activated, the ear sensor uses bone conduction to tap your vocal vibrations and seamlessly convert them to speech so the listener hears what you are trying to say.

Crystal Clear
When you are not in extreme conditions, award-winning CrystalTalk™ technology is always on to help reduce everyday background noise. Developed specifically for use with headsets, this technology channels sound using two microphones and software algorithms that separate the user’s voice from background noise, for clearer, more coherent conversations.

Power Up
Intuitive features on Motorola Endeavor HX1 help you to feel comfortable using the device in no time. Voice prompts announce when the stealth mode is activated and provide simple set-up instructions for handset pairing¹. And you can talk more, charge less with up to seven hours of talk time ².

Motorola Endeavor HX1
Talk Time	Up to 7 hours2
Standby Time	Up to 240 hours2
Bluetooth Version	Bluetooth V.2.1 w/EDR
Weight	13g
Dimensions	L(1.85in) x W(0.71in) x H(0.47in)
Features	Audio: Superior performance with the stealth mode which activates true bone conduction technology and CrystalTalk™ dual mic noise cancellation Usability: Voice prompts with advanced Multipoint, EasyPair™ Design: Unique “activation button” for the stealth mode Ergonomics: New ear interface with sensor

Now here's the really exciting part...

Thanks to Motorola I get to give one lucky winner a Motorola Endeaver HX1 Bluetooth!

Brothers All Natural Review...

Thanks to Brothers All Natural I got to review their fruit crisps! I love them all! It's great that they are good for you, have no sugar or preservatives, and are 100% real fruit! I love the yummy taste and flavor they all have! These make perfect healthy snacks on the go and at home! Thanks Brothers All Natural for the great products!

More about them...

They start with a luscious freshfreeze-dried process that gently removes the water from the fresh fruit, and transforms it into a delicious, delightfully light and flavorful crisp. Fruit straight from the best growing regions of the world.

Fruit Crisps are not baked – this causes the fruit to lose too much flavor! They are not dehydrated – this adds preservatives! They are not sweetened dried – this adds sugar! Fruit Crisps are 100% real fruit, 100% natural and certainly 100% delicious!
