Help
I have a low-end Bluetooth device I use with my iPhone every day. I recently read a Popular Science review of the Motorola HX1 device and the writer said it totally blocked out background noise in a crowded bar. The caller only heard her voice and none of the background noise. I'm looking for anyone with real-world experience with the XH1 or other stealth mode devices. Do they totally block out the background noise or does some of it still sneak through?

Do those "jawbone" Bluetooth devices really remove background noise?1 Reply
I decided to try the Motorola Endeavor HX1 yesterday since it claims to block out extreme noise through its "stealth" fature. Boy, was I disappointed...
The HX1 works fine in standard mode but as soon as I switched to stealth mode my voice became almost impossible to hear and, believe it or not, the background noise was still quite evident. I tried it in both ears using all sorts of angles and never got it to work right. Fortunately I was able to return it for a full refund. So if the Motorola description is correct and the HX1 is indeed used by "special military forces", I can only hope those are the forces of the enemy. If our soldiers are dependent on this technology we're in for a long battle, I'm afraid. |
