Motorola HX1 Bluetooth headset rumored to be $159, Sprint exclusive
No one. That’s who. No one will buy this headset at the current price point. Here is what will happen:
Besides a few unknowing rich housewives who don’t count, only geeks care about high-end Bluetooth headsets. If a geek is presented the $159 HX1, they will likely decline the offer and go home and jump online where they will discover that the three headsets listed above all received high marks. Plus they can be had for a lot less than the MSRP.
The HX1 might be the best BT headset, but I don’t have any issues with my mid-level Jabra. I would love to see sales numbers at the $159 price and after it eventually gets cut down to $129, which it will. But if you want the absolute best and don’t mind paying the premium right out of the gate, Sprint is reportedly getting the HX1 exclusively until the end of September.
