Today Motorola unveiled the MOTOPURE H15 and the H780 headsets. The The 14g H15 features an active flip microphone boom that lets users power up the headset and answer a call in one quick flip, high quality wind suppression technology and Motorola's industry topping noise suppression technology named CrystalTalk.

The H780 features the same basic technology as the H15, but in a slightly larger package that lacks the wind noise prevention system. The H780's extra bulk allows it to contain a battery that is good for a solid 7 hours of talk time rather than the 4.5 hours that the H15 is capable of. Even with that extra size, though, the H780 is still lighter than its brother, coming in at a feathery 11g. And while it lacks the folding boom of the H15, the H780 has a very easy to use sliding power switch that lets you see at a glance whether the device is powered up or not.
