Behind-the-Ear Flagship Jabra Motion Delivers Smart Wireless Mobility for Enhanced User Productivity -- H2PC Asia

July 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Singapore - Jabra (http://www.jabra.com/), the world’s leading manufacturer of wireless audio solutions, launches the new Jabra Motion (http://www.jabra.com/Products/Wireless_Headsets/Jabra_MOTION_UC_Series/Jabra_MOTION) based on the iconic behind-the-ear design and legendary wearing style Jabra is best known for. Featuring latest intuitive technologies and ergonomic design – including motion sensor technology and a flip-boom arm – the state-of-the-art headset meets the demands of performance-centric users for optimal team communications and project management tasks. Paired with smartphones, tablets or laptops, whether at the workplace, on the road or at home – the intelligent and ‘pocketable’ Jabra Motion keeps users up to speed and in touch as they stay focused on their projects and business tasks

State-of-the-art technologies packed into one headset

Extremely light at 17.5g, the flexible, curve-shaped Jabra Motion provides a customized ear fit with a rotating, height-adjustable speaker tower and different-sized ear-gels. When a call comes in and the user picks up the Jabra Motion, its intelligent built-in motion sensor automatically triggers the ‘answer call’ function. And when it is laid down on a surface, the headset takes a power nap. Sensing changing sound environments or change in motion, such as when the user starts walking, Jabra Motion makes automatic audio adjustment according to ambient noise levels.

Jabra’s legendary behind-the-ear design with Jabra Connect App

The Jabra Motion is built on the Jabra signature ‘behind-the-ear’circular design based on contour of the ear. Its folding boom adds ‘pocketability’ – flip it close to a smaller, palm-sized fit to keep in pocket or handbag; flip it open again to instantly connect to an incoming call.

Customise the performance of Jabra Motion and manage calls on multiple devices using Jabra Connect App (http://www.jabra.com/headsets-and-speakerphones/all-produ...) from your smartphone. Professional users of iOS and Android devices can hold business calls while managing tasks from any environment. The app even has an Audio Notes function to record audio reminders and notes to further enhance user productivity.

Offering a wireless freedom range of 10m, Jabra Motion will retail from 13 July onwards at RRP S$198 at Apple premium resellers: Epicentre, Infinite, Nubox, selected Challenger stores, Gadget World, Tech@Vogue and other authorised Jabra resellers. Launch promo: With each purchase of Jabra Motion, customers can redeem a free Jabra LINK 360 for PC worth $49.90 (mini Bluetooth USB adaptor) to stream wireless audio and VoIP calls from PC to the headset.

“The use of laptops, smartphones and tablets is on the rise as users adapt to highly-mobile roles. Jabra Motion encompasses thoughtful, innovative features and forward technology to simplify the busy mobile lifestyle while delivering efficiency, flexibility and improved productivity,” says Ann Goh, Jabra Sales Director, Central Asia, Consumer Solutions Division.

Voice Guidance provides audio feedback on headset and call status while Voice Control offers complete hands-free control with useful voice commands like Redial, Call Back, Pair New Device etc.

Noise Blackout™ technology and Wind Noise Protection works in tandem to reduce background noise and deliver exceptional clear, crisp audio quality on both sides of the call, even in outdoor, windy conditions. The result is a quiet-room conversation that last up to 7 hours.
