Summary: Nice, but...
Comment: I went to this unit after having a Sony ear piece for a few years. What I didn't like about the Sony unit was that it had a hard insert that fits in to the users ear - removing it after a while actually hurt. What I liked about the Sony unit was that switch from ear to ear was a piece of cake.

That said, I had high hopes for this Motorola unit because it is comfortable and it does give the wearer good sound in the ear piece (which is nicely padded) as well as flexibility in recharging the unit (see below)

Where this unit fails is in its adjustiblity. Not only is changing the ear piece from left to right ear difficult (requires that the user unsnap the ear clip and then snap it back into place - not something to attempt which driving) but that the plastic clip itself fits too loosely and can not be reshaped to fit the users ear. Put another way, this thing slides around like a size 9 mans foot in a size 13 shoe. And because it has a propensity to move, you find yourself constantly trying to get it back to optimal listening position.

On the positive side, battery life on this unit is superior to the Sony unit AND if you have a car charger for a Motorola phone you can charge this unit on the fly (the Sony unit didn't have this ability).

For the price this isn't a bad choice, I just wish it fit better.

Summary: Ok for the price
Comment: I bought this headset a couple of months ago, but I guess I was disappointed. It doesn't really stay on your ear, people on the other end have a hard time hearing you, and most of the time you can't hear them because the volume doesn't get loud enough. I would definitely go for the newer motorola model since I hear they are better. This one is OK only due to its low price, but it's worth it to spend a little extra money and get one you're actually going to use! I barely use mine anymore so I guess it was a waste of money!!!

Summary: Good
Comment: Good product, sits well on ear. Sound quailty is good on my end, sounds just like a normal call, however i do hear some complaints of screeching noises from the person im talking to. Overall, im pleased though. The product arrived extremely fast (about 3 business days).

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: This is an excellent product! Sound is great, very little background noise. Only wich is, it to come with or have a case you could buy for it. When you pack it in a suitcase or briefcase, something would hit the button and ends up losing it's charge. Other than that it's a great product.

Summary: +++ good headset+++
Comment: It is a good headset, but I have some difficulties with "conect" it to my ear, I have the felling that the headset will fall of everytime.

Editorial Reviews:

For a wireless-savvy cell phone user who demands superior performance and a good value, the Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset offers the best of both worlds. With a compact and comfortable handsome gray design the headset delivers longer talk times at a great price. This headset is both discreet and stylish, yet Motorola does not scrimp on functionality. The small size and lightweight construction allows for easy storage when not in use. Just slip the device in your pocket or toss it inside your glove box. Also, don't be fooled by the headsets good looks -- this petite powerhouse provides impressive battery power and an omni-directional microphone to clearly pick up your voice. The H500 features lengthy talk and standby times -- up to eight hours of talk time or 150 hours of standby time from a single full charge. And included with the headset is a handy, compact travel charger so you'll never run out of power on the go.

When you use your H500 for the first time, you must pair the headset with your phone. Once your phone recognizes the headset, the H500 is easy to operate -- simply press the multifunction button, place the headset on your ear, and a link is automatically established. The multifunction button allows you to control three-way calling, call start and end, hold, and mute, all with one click. And with Bluetooth wireless technology, the headset will work with any compatible device at a distance of up to 30 feet (10 meters) away. Don't stop with just your cell phone; consider pairing the H500 with your Bluetooth-enabled PC for great, hands-free Voice Over IP (VoIP) communications.

Designed for anyone, the adjustable, ergonomic earhook with improved back housing allows the headset to be worn on either the left or right ear. You can also easily control the volume or mute your call directly from the H500. This Motorola wireless accessory is compatible with any Bluetooth 1.2 enabled mobile phones or devices that support headset and hands-free profiles.
