MOTOROKR S605 Bluetooth Stereo Headset launched in Asia
Motorola today unveiled its latest Bluetooth stereo headset, the MOTOROKR S605, at a press event held in Singapore. Targeted at music enthusiasts, this A2DP-enabled device is designed in Asia, especially for the Asian user, according to Motorola. This could explain why the S605 is not available in the US. So far, it's been launched in some parts of Europe, with Korea and HK expected to get it one month after the island-state.
The MOTOROKR S605 comes in two parts. The main unit houses the built-in battery, Bluetooth transmitter/receiver, music playback buttons, while the other is a pair of earphones.
One of the main draws here is probably its 3.5mm audio jack, which gives users the option to use their own headphones (with 3.5mm jack) or the one bundled in the package. The ultracompact and lightweight design (36 x 16 x 10mm; 17g) of the main unit should appeal to mobile music listeners, too. Like its predecessor, the Motorola S705 SoundPilot, the new S605 comes with an integrated FM radio. So essentially, it can work on its own, even without music input from a Bluetooth stereo source.
At the event today, Motorola also showcased its latest range of music accessories, including the foldable EQ3 speaker (shown on the left) as well as the Bluetooth-enabled wireless EQ5 and EQ7 speakers that can double as speakerphones for your handset.
