Motorola ELITE SLIVER and Motorola ELITE FLIP feature NFC
technology, which allows you to pair either headset with your phone
with a quick tap(1). The inclusion of HD Audio Plus in both
headsets increases clarity and provides richer sound for all your
conversations with true wideband audio and CrystalTalk™
dual-microphone noise cancellation technology. With an
extended roaming range of up to 300 feet(2) from Class 1 Bluetooth
technology, you can walk away from your phone without disconnecting
your conversation.
The Motorola ELITE SLIVER and Motorola ELITE FLIP also work with
the My MotoSpeak(3) application to read, dictate and send text
messages hands-free. The new My MotoSpeak application adds the
capabilities for users to initiate and send text messages without
touching or holding their phone.
"Seamless integration of elegant design and new ground-breaking
technology make Motorola ELITE SLIVER and Motorola ELITE FLIP, the
obvious choices for consumers from the tech savvy to the fashion
conscious," said Yossi Cohen, senior
vice president, Companion Products, Motorola Mobility. "In
designing these headsets, we built custom software to deliver new
user experiences. Multiple technology advancements such as NFC, HD
Audio Plus featuring wideband audio and My MotoSpeak provide an
additional layer of superior and innovative functionality."
Barely noticeable, impossible to ignore
Weighing in at just under half an ounce, Motorola ELITE SLIVER
can hardly be seen but it certainly can be heard. The headset is
perfect for those who want discretion but don't want to sacrifice
great audio or advanced features. In addition to the aforementioned
features, Motorola ELITE SLIVER offers more than twice as much talk
time as the leading competitors. The stylish protective charging
case recharges the headset for a total of up to 15 hours of talk
time without needing to search for a power outlet.
Keep talking... and be heard
Motorola ELITE FLIP lets users talk through almost anything. In
addition to the rich and clear audio of HD Audio Plus, the
TrueComfort™ design let you choose the most comfortable way to wear
the headset. Motorola ELITE FLIP provides the unique capability to
choose from three wearing options first seen on the Motorola
HX550.
My MotoSpeak integration
Both headsets work with My MotoSpeak, the ultimate hands-free
texting application for an increasingly hands-free world. The
latest generation of Motorola's MotoSpeak application, My MotoSpeak
allows you to initiate, dictate and send a text message without
touching your phone. The free application reads incoming text
messages aloud through the headset and lets you reply hands-free,
including interpreting common acronyms such as 'asap' or 'l8r.' The
smart button feature on Motorola ELITE SLIVER and Motorola ELITE
FLIP makes sending a text easier than ever. With one simple touch
of the smart button on the headset, you can initiate a text message
and simply talk aloud to dictate the message. In addition, My
MotoSpeak can also easily customize headset settings like noise
cancellation, equalizer and smart button function.
