Motorola's tiny Hint headset gets a huge update
Most of Motorola's energy is likely going into the new smartphones it's expected to launch next week, but that isn't stopping it from upgrading other parts of its lineup. The company has quietly released a second-generation Moto Hint headset that retains the tiny in-ear design, but makes far fewer compromises. To begin with, you get a whopping 17 hours of talk time, or 70 percent more than before -- you shouldn't have any problems making it through the day with this earpiece. There's improved audio and voice control, too, so you'll have an easier time checking notifications and controlling apps. The new Hint is available for $130 ($20 less than its predecessor when new), so give it a spin if you want to take a lot of calls on the sly.
Motorola's new Bluetooth headset hides inside your ear
In case you need a stylish new Bluetooth headset to go along with your brand new Moto X, Motorola also announced the Moto Hint. Meant to be as discreet as possible, the Hint almost looks like an ear plug when worn. It's so discreet that the Hint doesn't even have buttons -- simply tap its capacitive-touch surface to answer or end calls. As for the volume, you have to adjust that via the phone. The Hint comes with a charge case that apparently gives it up to 10 hours of talk time. Though the Hint can be used with any smartphone, it was specifically designed to go along with the new X thanks to its ability to recognize the new Moto Voice. As a reminder, that means it'll recognize your custom voice prompt along with special phrases like "What's the weather?" and "Navigate home." The Hint even comes in six different design styles in fabric, leather and wood to compliment the X. Though we're not sure when the availability of the Hint is yet, it's set to be out this fall for $149.99 each.
