The best Bluetooth Headset I have ever owned
I have tried many other bluetooth headsets and this is the best one I have ever had. I already had one and I liked it so much I bought this one as a back up. I switch between them. It is loud (I'm a mobile DJ and my hearing isn't what it used to be)and clear and the people I call says it sounds just as good as a corded phone. I tried both Jawbones and this is by far so much better and more comfortable. Most of the time I forget I'm wearing it. | 1positive

Does the job; Reasonable Cost
This Bluetooth does the job at minimal cost. Can be a useful addition to driving safety if used carefully. Ideally one uses it with voice activated dialing, so that one need not mess with dialing, especially when driving. One can simply say a name into the Bluetooth and be automatically connected. Before you buy a Bluetooth enabled phone be sure it can do voice dialing. | 1positive

Do Not Buy Nor Choose this PIECE OF GARBAGE
It was a BIG Mistake that I picked this piece of junk from AT&T; lots of NEGATIVE Stuff I can say:1stYou cannot send pictures that is saved in your file easy, first you have to be online and email the pictures as an attachment, which is already tedious just to go to your email account.UNLIKE other Cell Phone like Nokiayou can send pictures 123, pick picture press "send" it will prompt you to directory with both cell #'s for texting or email address if you want to email them.2ndDOES NOT WORK with Motorola H350 HeadsetIt will recognized the model but will not work when you want to use them, my buddy tried this Motorola H350 headset in his cell phone it work without a problem.3rdTEXTING not that easyIf you have a private # you have to make duplicate of your directory and delete *82 before the number since it will not work.4thClarityis very poor5thLIMITED storageCan only copy few messages you sent, you have to delete old messages if you want to save text you sent.6thNOT FRIENDLY USERUnless you read the entire Owner's Manual (which even AT&T; Customer Service can't understand) you feel throwing this junk in the window.Pantech tried to be different from Motorola, Nokia and other major cell phone manufacturer. The basic operations SUCKS to the CORE.OVER ALL REVIEWSTAY AWAY FROM PANTECH PRODUCTSThey are a JOKE! | 0negative

I checked with Motorola before purchase
There are probably 15 other Motorola models of bluetooth headsets out there. I realized this when I saw they were selling the HS815 like it was something new. So people are buying it thinking they are getting something up-to-date, when the 815 is quite old. I had mine for about a year before it was mercifully stolen. I got it from a guy that owned it for about half a year before that.So, I checked the Motorola web site and found what they consider the latest models, mostly because I wanted to use the same charger. For nearly the same price or less than other models (and sets from other brands) you can get noise cancellation, faster pairing, power saving features and better controls. This is certainly smaller, lighter, louder and more comfortable than the HS815.But, it's also newer, which is why you should always check the product web site - in case the company has an even better one out next month. | 1positive

I own it
I have had this phone for over a year, it is pretty great. i enjoyed it and plan of keeping it for awhile longer. The feature I use most is AIM and Yahoo chat. | 1positive

Comfortable, excellent sound
These headphones are great for music and do allow you to answer a call. They have track skip and volume separate from the phone, as well. My only complaints are that they overuse the multifunction button like most bluetooth headsets do. On my Droid 4, pressing the button to pause the music also activates the voice commands, making it basically useless for pausing to engage in conversation. My previous headphones had separate buttons for pause/play and multifunction, so it IS possible, they just didn't bother on these. Despite this, these are pretty nice. They fit very comfortably and don't fall off when exercising and the sound is better than any other bluetooth headphones I've tried barring the big noise-canceling around-ear type. | 1positive

Great phone. solution for camera button problem
I too was getting a lot of pictures of the inside of my pocket. I just loaded the phone up with songs (about 9 LOL) and now there is no room for anything, much less a picture. :) | 1positive

pretty, but not worth it
I bought this phone 5 months ago because it was pretty, small and had decent reviews.... well it was a big mistake!The phone is pretty, but it needs a protective covering because the sleek shiny finish scratches easily and the cover makes it bulky.The battery life is unpredictable. Sometimes it will last 12 hours with 2-3 hours worth of conversation. Sometimes it won't even last 6 hours just resting.The phone is slow to bring up functions like messaging or pictures. It often freezes and needs to be reset.(On a positive note the camera takes really nice photos)The predictive text function is a joke.I have used Nokia and LG phones in the past and have been way more satisfied. Longer battery life, better and faster phone functions, and more durable phone. | 0negative

Phone broke!
I've had this holster less than two weeks, and yesterday my phone slid out of the holster, fell to the ground, and cracked the glass on the corner of my phone! :-( It fails to do the two things it is supposed to do: hold the phone securely, and protect it from breaking if it falls. Other holsters actually 'snap' the phone into place, so that even if it turns upside down it stays in place; this one just slides out, no snap/lock. Even that would have been OK, but they didn't design the case to go all the way around the corner of the phone, so when it falls and lands on the corner, it can break the phone (like mine did, the very first time it fell). I wouldn't recommend this holster, I'll be looking for a new one... | 0negative

Aweful, aweful, aweful
Ordered 2 phones with 'pay as you go' service.No one was home to accept the package so it was sent back to the local FedEx office.Called FedEx to have the package re-routed since I work during the day. FedEx said a 'Re-route' could only be done by the shipper.Called Virgin Mobile customer service to have the package re-routed. I was rudely informed that it can't be done and was basically told if I didn't like it, I should just return the phones.I refused the delivery from FedEx and was told I would recieve a refund.Months have passed. I've called Virgin Mobile's customer service many times to discuss my refund. I've filed complaints with BBB and FCC.STILL no refund. | 0negative

Good Connection but a bit bulky
I've had this Headset for about a year and its impressed me in that I haven't lost it. The connection is clear and the signal is strong. The only thing about it that I lost one of the ear buds to it and now I have another one which is a bit uncomfortable, at least initially, but then you get used it. I would recommend this set because it's not too small and not too big. | 1positive

Great Product that is comfortable to wear
I've had this headset for about 45 days. It's my first and I use it with a Razr. It can easily be adjusted for comfort and has good battery life. Only problems I've had is when driving it seems to pick up road noise at times. I'm very pleased with this purchase. | 1positive

Bottom line: pretty good
I recently ordered the H700 on advice/reviews from the Internet. I followed directions (two different sets, one incorrect) from the enclosed material. The device worked terribly! 3 foot range, crack, snapple, pop, sporadically "unpaired", just unusable. Called Motorola and they sent me another with a deposit on my Mastercard. This one worked. Still a little static, range is now 7-10 feet, reliable and a joy to use. What an improvement! The range is not an issue for me as I use this either at my desk or on my belt clip. Although, I did happen to have it in my car while I pumped gas the other day and it works well there also. I am now very pleased and I have sent back the 1st one to Motorola so they can cancel that Mastercard deposit. By the way, I wear this thing for hours and it is so light and comfortable I sometimes forget that I have it on my ear. Glad I bought it. | 1positive

Sleek
The phone is very nice, I love the number pad although it takes some getting used to, nice size area for the number. Clear voices, easy to use and slim to slip in a pocket or bag. I love the color......ps to those complaining about the color. Online colors aren't always correct, you need to research in person sometimes it's your PC's personal color scheme as well. Try it you'll like it. | 1positive

Nice Design but Poor Quality
I bought these headphones brand new for $140 CDN. Right out of the box, the left side of the headset had no sound. I called BlueAnt support right away and received a return authorization in 4 days. I had to pay an additonal $40 shipping to returned the defective product to their US headquarters. It took them another week to ship a replacement product to me.The replacement works. However, the sound quality is very poor, it sounds like I'm listening to a pair of hollow cans. There is no bass or treble. Pairing was not a problem. However, as you may find out, you're out of luck if you try to pair the headset with any device that only uses the 0000 paring code because these headsets (and the streamer) uses 1234.I also have bluetooth stereo headsets from Logitech (first generation) and Sony - they sound like high end headphones compared to the BlueAnt X5.The things that I do like about the X5 are:1. User replaceable batteries (although I couldn't find them on sale anywhere)2. Comfortable to wear and light weight3. Tech support was friendly4. Headset is nicely designed5. transmit/receive range is goodThings that outweight the good:1. Poor quality control - this is the first product I've ever purchased that did not work out of the box2. BlueAnt doesn't care enough about their reputation and customers to offer free return shipping (as any other company I've dealt with would)3. Very poor sound quality - no bass, no treble, no midrange - sounds like a pair of tin cans.I think the sound quality is the main deal breaker here. What's the point of getting a stereo headset if they sound like your mono earpiece?I would return these if it would not cost me another $40 in shipping.For other alternatives - check out the Sony DRBT21GB. The Sony's more expensive but well worth the money - great sound quality and no geeky mic sticking out. Sony's streamer (purchased separately) is a lot smaller and comes with a belt clip as well. The current model Logitech is a better choice as well I assume because the older model still sounds and works great. | 0negative

Perfect headset to listen to music from your PC
Installation is fairly straigthforward. Once your PC finds the Bluetooth device, it installs drivers automatically (Windows Vista) through Windows Update and will stream your PC Audio to these.Battery life is decent, a full charge lasts about 8 hours I'd say, at medium volume. | 1positive

I have revised this review
The first month I had the service, it worked decently with 2 bars. At least it was better than dial-up. I had a 30 day free trial. Okay, after the 30 days, beginning with day 32, I would get disconnected every time I signed on. Also, it began to not recognize my password although no settings had been changed. I called Verizon and they pretty much say that there is no coverage in my area. However, they did get it to work--for a short time. When it does work, I have to log on about 5 times. Then I get dropped fairly often. Then every once in a while, i can use it for hours with pretty decent speed. However, I haven't been able to do that in months.Okay, when I travel and try it from a larger city with good access, I get 5 bars but I still get disconnected within 3 or 4 minutes of being on.I have heard similar complaints from one other user that I know.I also have this same problem with my Verizon cell phone. It is the worst cell phone service I have ever had and it doesn't matter from what city I am calling from.Be wary of the trial period. Everything seems to go downhill after the 30 days.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am revising this review! Cell service has improved in my area and Verizon finally got my connection issues fixed. I get full coverage and no drops now. It is enough for me to renew my contract and give it 5 stars. | 1positive

Audio quality and durability excellent
I just purchased my second Plantronics Voyager 510. The last one lasted for at least 2 years - it was given to me by a friend. The audio quality is excellent - people did not know I was on a Bluetooth headset. The durability is great - it spent time in the rain and battered by a toddler and it kept on working.I tried a Motorola h700 which did not work for me - there was static barely perceptible but annoying to some people - and it picked up far too much background noise so if I was doing dishes or something, forget it. With the Plantronics, I can talk on it almost anytime or anywhere and background noise is not a problem.The Motorola also pinched my ear sometimes and I would have to work to get it on, and get it adjusted. The Plantronics is comfortable.Only a couple complaints that caused 4 and not 5 stars for me: The piece that goes behind the ear is too bulky and competes with space if you wear glasses or a headband. The little bud that goes into your ear is ok and made me feel like it wouldn't come off, but sometimes it would turn and fall out. Wind caused a problem so when I was outside and it was windy, I would often have to tell people to wait a minute. | 1positive

Awesome!!
I work as an online language teacher, and I had been looking for a wireless solution to make my 6 - 8 class hours per day as comfortable as possible. After trying some lame Bluetooth headsets, and researching a little about the CS50 USB Wireless Headset, I made what is probably the most intelligent decision I've made since I started teaching online five years ago. The CS50 is totally comfortable, I can walk all around my apartment without losing signal strength, my students hear me perfectly clear, and I can actually REPLACE the battery after its life cycle is done. What else can I ask for?I've only used the CS50 for a couple of months now, and my only problem is that I regret not having bought it before. Yes, it's not the cheapest solution around, but you definitely get what you pay for! | 1positive

watch out
This is a great travel charger (I have one) but if you buy here you get the older model (CCT-8351), which unfortunately is not compatible with Motorola phones like the RAZR. You need the CCT-8352 if you have a Motorola phone. | 1positive

Great headset at a great price
I am very happy with this headset. It paired easily with my old Nokia phone, and with my new LG. The sound is not great, but quite good from both directions and the set is comfortable to wear. I'm sure you can get better sound from a more expensive unit, but even when using in the car at highway speeds I've been able to talk comfortably. I don't think you can beat it for the price. | 1positive

Barely adequate
Sound volume is low and indistinct. Increasing volume does not make it easier to understand, just louder. Does a fairly good job of limiting outside sound.Lanyard style can be inconvenient. Earbuds can be hard to insert when you get a call. Fob on end only display caller's number, not the programmed name.Other side of line frequently has problems with hearing, microphone doesnt work well.Like most bluetooth devices, lacks a user friendly on/off mechanism to decline using headset when it isnt convenient. User must go through the disconnect or power down process to use phone handset instead.Overall, not a purchase I would recommend. Reconsider your desire to have earbuds. | 0negative

great headset, great price
I got 2 of these Plantronics Explorer 330 headsets; 1 for me, 1 for the wife. We got them since California passed a law that you needed a hands-free phone if you want to talk in the car.Neither my wife or I are heavy cell phone users, so we wanted something reasonable priced, but of decent quality & easy to use. These were just the thing. We have different model Nokia phones with AT&T; service. The headsets were up & connected & working with each of the phones in 5 minutes total time; a piece of cake.Sound quality is good (roughly the same as the normal phone) and they fit both of our ears comfortably. I would recommend these to people looking for a reasonably priced headset. great deal, very satisfied. | 1positive

Samsung Sim Problem
I upgraded our old phones to this phone for my wife and myself two weeks ago and both phone are experiencing "Insert Sim Card" problems almost every day. You can "solve" the problem by turning the phone off then back on but it's only a temporary solution. I also have a problem with the phone not reconnecting to Cingular service if it's out of the service area for any length of time. Again the "solution" is to turn the phone off and back on. I will be exchanging both phones for a different model. | 0negative

Motorola HS850 bluetooth headset
I purchased this item for my husband to replace the one that accidentally went through the washing machine. While he was happy with the performance of his original HS850, the replacement had a buzz in the speaker, so we had to return it. I must say that the seller was very easy to deal with. | 0negative

STOP RIGHT NOW!!! PLEASE DON'T BUY!!!
Okay, I own this POS and I jumped on Amazon to shop for a replacement. First of all I'm HIGHLY frightened that so far this headset seems to have 5 stars. I don't know how that bodes for the other headsets I'll be looking at today. Now for the review:Keep shopping. I paid $30 for this and I'd pay $30 again to get rid of it. It's small, it's light, it has a lot of talk time when fully charged, but it has issues.It's too quiet. I have to PUSH it into my ear to hear it while driving. I often end conversations because I'm embarrassed to keep having to ask people to repeat themselves.The battery drains itself if you leave it plugged into a car charger while the car is off. I'll drive around for three days with this thing plugged in and not use it. Then on the way home from work I'll unplug it and turn it on. It'll die before my call connects leaving me hurriedly and blindly grabbing for the headset in traffic. It often dies between when I can hear my call ringing and when the call is answered. Again in traffic this is a SERIOUS NUISANCE.BTW, I have a pretty fancy Motorola phone. I don't believe that it is the culprit.I yearn for my old corded headset, but my fancy new phone doesn't have a jack. So now I have to drop a buck-and-a-half to get decent sound quality. Anyway, thanks for reading. Good luck! | 0negative

Should Have Listened To Reviewers
This is garbage. Just like other reviewers said, the plastic front fell off after about a half-dozen uses. At least it wasn't the first day like some. The product would have been great otherwise. I called Belkin for a replacement as the package says it has a lifetime guarantee. Problem is, they don't make it anymore. They offered a credit, but for what? Amazon made it all good by accepting the return and crediting my Amazon.com account. Avoid this. I bought another armband at a local store. So far, so good. | 0negative

Save Your Money
I read the reviews, which were pretty positive, so went ahead and ordered this hands-free. I don't think it's comfortable and I don't think the sound quality is good at all. Hard to hear the person on the other end clearly. Good thing it was less than $10. Save your money. I'm sure there are better ones out there. You may have to pay a little more, but this one isn't worth the savings. | 0negative

Drop Phone Calls
I've had cellular phones since they first came out in a BAG with a full-size handset. This is the worsed performer of all I've ever owned. Motorola has sent two V600 replacements (thanks to my service plan)and the same problem of dropped calls or no antenna persists.In any given location, the antenna strength drops to nothing or calls just drop off. A 'trick' I've figured out to get antenna signal back is to call my Service Provider's number and allow it to fail...this fills up the antenna strength! Go Figure!Some features of the phone are pretty cool, such as the outside color lights, the clarity of the inside screen, or the camera features; but all-in-all the main use of the phone needs antenna signals to work. It's frustrating especially when you are on a business call or talking to someone you simply do NOT want to hang up on!I'll sum it up by quoting my Service Provider's comments, when he said, "I get so many problem calls with the V600, that we should be answering the phone saying, 'V600 Service Help Line'." | 0negative

Anywhere Anytime!
Sure it may not be as good as a hard wire, but it allows me to play the contents of my Walkman in my car, my work truck (neither of which have a front panel input) , and even in my Jeep (which has a cassette player). It is another dongle hangin' off my dash. I'd prefer the display was attached to the ac adapter, like the slick looking Coby CA-745, but this has three FM presets and better user ratings. I am lovin' it! | 1positive

Very average product
MBR-100 does not do justice to its functionality at all. Bluetooth connectivity is bad and slight obstructions cause it to "break" the music streaming. I use my Nokia N82 to stream the music to this device. As long as I am in the same room with my phone and device, the connections works properly. But using it with my phone in the kitchen/hallway nd this device in the room causes a lot of skips and misses. And I thought I could listen to the songs wirelessly without the need to go to the room again and again to change tracks. Very dissappointed. | 0negative

I'm happy with it
This headset is working great now. It was interesting, I had some static when I wore the headset in my right ear and store my phone in my left pocket. I just switched the headset to wear over my left ear and haven't had any problems since then. It's a comfortable headset to wear and the sound quality is very good. I'd recommend it. | 1positive

Save your money!
I bought 3 of these on clearance as gifts thinking it was a great deal. I was too embarrased to give them. I kept one for myself - and have learned to suffer through it.

I hope the newer version actually works! | 0negative

Wasted my money here! Yes, it was less than $3.00 but that is not the point. I tried and tried, installed and re-installed on my computer, could never get this to talk to my Motorola Razr.

Clumsier than it looks.
I had been happily using a Samsung phone with my T-Mobile service but found the phone a bit too large. I chose a Motorola V66 when I upgraded my plan, and quickly ran into trouble. First, the phone I was given did not display the waiting text or voice message symbol (envelope). Mysteriously, the status light worked, although my manual said this feature did not work. After much hassle, the phone was exchanged for another which had a status light that did not work--as the manual said--but did display the waiting text message symbol. However, it does not show a waiting voice message symbol; instead, the system issues a text message which, when read, tells me that a voice message is waiting which can be heard by dialing 123. Very clumsy, especially compared to the easy message access with the Samsung. The phone is physically awkward, with buttons on the sides activated by the slightest touch and hang up a call when the phone is shifted in the hand slightly. The three buttons used to make menu choices are very small and require skill and practice to avoid pressing other keys when they are used. I would say, great phone for a toddler's little fingers, but a dubious choice for a full-grown man. | 0negative

Amazon policy misleading
This phone will not reliably connect to any Wi-Fi hotspots, and the ActiveSynch program renders my computer unusable. Beware of the Amazon "return" policy. It is return only, and if you get a family plan, it is return both phones only, you cannot exchange, and their customer service is very poor. | 0negative

It's the service, stupid
Sidekick II is meant to be your one-stop-shop wireless gadget for e-mailing, web-browsing and IM chatting anywhere you go. You can also download limited content. You can also sync with your Outlook calendar and addressbook, but only if you pay extra for a third-party utiltiy program. Compared to the original Sidekick, SK II is thinner but quite a bit longer. I also think it's uglier, esp. the new thumb keyboard, but the keyboard is still very useable. Battery life is terrible after the first couple weeks, requiring you to carry the charger with you all the time.The problem with the whole T-Mobile data service, though, is the poor quality of T-Mobile's GPRS coverage. T-Mobile is infamous for its sporadic GSM (voice) coverage in the U.S. When it comes to GPRS (data), it's even worse, and the slightest degradation in reception will cause the Sidekick to go kaputt. And when that happens, SK has a tendency to fail to re-establish the data connection when signal strength returns. This makes a very frustrating user experience, esp. when you need Internet access the most (e.g., when you want to log onto amazon.com to compare-shop that big Sharp Aquos LCD TV you are looking at inside a Best Buy store). Unfortunately, T-Mobile has not improved its coverage or download speed, so if you get the SK, be prepared for slow speed and lost connections. Once the novelty factor wears off, the SK experience is a rather stressful one.Of course, currently no other device - not even the Treo 600 - has the same portable form factor and useable keyboard as the SK II. If you are an absolutely Internet junkie, you'll probably find T-Mobile's abysmal coverage tolerable and SK's true wireless Internet access appealing. | 0negative

Crystal clear conversation
As with all typical Plantronics headsets, this sound is clear and no one can tell you are on a headset on the other end. My only gripe is the cord seems a bit fragile the the earpiece volume is not as loud as it should be for use in a vehicle which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Other than that, it works very well and is fairly comfortable for extended wear on your ear. I like the fact that it does not go over your ear so wearing glasses is not a problem at all. | 1positive

fancy but bad reception due to unacceptable cut-out issue
After migrating from former AT&T; Wireless to Cingular with hassles on 12/4/2005, I got the new Sony Ericsson Z520a, which is really beautiful and well-designed, then noticed there were some cut-outs that randomly made a few letters or words "blurred" and not understandable when listening to the Cingular Statements in dealer office. The next morning I tried in my cubicle, where Z520a had 4 signal bars! (My old Nokia only said 1 bar so I had to walk to the window side.) But there always were those annoying cut-outs that made me randomly ask my friends repeat their words. :( Then tried listening to some computer-generated voice message systems, sometimes "customer" became "chi-stomer", "technology" became "tech-piu-gy", or phone number "1234567890" became "1234-kee-67890", I could't even go through a menu because a few menu items were "pronounced" to be not understandable! That's really unacceptable.Then in the evening of 12/5/2005 I visited the dealer office and showed them the cut-outs. In their office I tried another Z520a, to my surprise, the 2nd one was even worse with much more cut-outs, more than that, it could't even end a call maybe because its software/firmware was hanging somewhere and refused to respond. :(Well, I had to say bye-bye to the beautiful and cute Z520a although it's quad-band. I picked the tri-band Nokia 6102 due to Nokia's solid reception (it says also 3-4 bars in my cubicle) and clear voice quality without any confused voice. The most basic function I need from a cell phone is to call, listen, understand, and talk. | 0negative

This phone is too cool. If you are looking for something to use alot, I would pick something else. I mainly got it for the looks. It is a super cool toy. Nothing else like it. | 1positive

Don't waste your money
As soon as I opened the package I realized the mistake I made in purchasing this item. The quality of the material is very poor. I did not even bother returning the item. I just threw it away. | 0negative

Love em.
I have a motorola H695 bluetooth which I managed to adapt to use with the eargels, what a difference! I can hear better, I threw out the ear loop which I no longer need at all. The earpiece stays in very well. I use a large one with the bluetooth and I used the medium ones for my earphones which cuts out more of the background noise so I need less volume. The come with a set of three sizes sm med lg for both ears so you get 6 all together. Normally I have a problem with the earbud type earphones irritating my ear so I was suprised that the large eargel fits my ear the best. | 1positive

Horrible phone....but keeps on going.....unfortunately!
I've had this phone for a couple of years now...and the only reason I have it still is because the new one I bought was busted. This is a horrible phone. The reception is horrible - always static on the line, my voice echoes in it when i'm talking on the phone. The battery life is horrid - I have to recharge it every night it seems! The only positive thing I have to say about this phone is that it seems to be pretty durable. I've dropped it countless times and it's still around...surprisingly! Overall, I would not recommend this phone to anyone! | 0negative

Better than ever
I purchased the original version of this case about two years ago. I had completely worn it out. The old one functioned well but had an unbelievably tight clasp. I had to jam a pen between the case and the clasp in order to pry it open far enough to fit on my belt. The new version is still tight enough that you don't have to worry about it accidentally getting knocked off yet it is easy to attached to your belt. As other reviewers have mentioned, the little pouch will hold business cards and/or an SD chip and is quite convenient. | 1positive

You better love texting, because reception is not good...
I rarely write reviews, but after having this phone I thought I'd write one.I'm on my second Palm Treo 700wx in less than a year. If it wasn't replaced under warranty I wouldn't still have this thing.I don't load any software on to this thing because I know how finicky it is... Even with that I've had to do several data-clearing hard resets.Amongst problems I've had with this phone:1) Bluetooth works very poorly, if at all (very staticy compared to other phones)2) Synch issues while hooked up to the computer, just won't connect (this was the source of one hard reset)3) Unable to connect to internet, tries 5-6 times getting a "no modem at number" or something like that each time, another source of a hard reset.4) Terrible reception, most of the time I get two bars, I might get 3 when I go outside, this is in Denver metro. I've reverted to texting people when a conversation is important, because I can't make out all of what they say. The phone's been replaced for this and has gotten *slightly* better.5) Makes calls and changes settings even with keyguard enabled.6) Synchs at all times of the day, whereever you are, regardless of your peak times settings or roaming schedule settings. This drains the battery FAST!7) No option to set a reminder or flash a light for messages waiting. You get one alert when a new message or voicemail comes in, that's it, after that there is a small icon at the top of the screen that let's you know there is a message or some sort.I wanted to like this phone, I really did, but it's the source of a lot of aggravation for me.. | 0negative

Constant buzzing
I purchased three of these from Amazon for my two Sony Ericsson W580i's and one Samsung A737. All three paired quickly and correctly. The only problem was that there was constant buzzing heard by the person receiving the call from all three cell phones. As a test I paired all three of my cell phones with my existing Samsung WEP200 bluetooth headset instead -- no buzzing from any of the phones. I ended up returning all three H500's and purchased the WEP200's instead. I don't know if the three I received were defective, but for sure there were not compatible with my cell phones. | 0negative

iPhone/iTouch users & Pros + Cons
If you don't have an iPhone/iTouch skip down to the pros vs cons if you want.I have an iPhone and after seeing these and reading some reviews I was sold (you can talk, listen to music, and best of all NO wires!).When they arrived I found, but was not shocked to find, that I could not listen to music on them (that would make it to easy), but I could talk on them... They charged in 2-3 hr and I did find them very comfortable and was upset to be sending them back.the next day a friend (also has the iPhone) said "O yea, i forgot to tell you that you can't listen to music on the iPhone through bluetooth. You need an adaptor, my bad" He also said that that the iPhone was capable of playing music via bluetooth, but Apple would never approve an app that aloud it. He also had a reason why but I can't remember it at the moment.So, I went looking and found the a2dp infinxx adaptor (there is most likely better and cheeper ones, but I liked this one because it is small). Unfortunately the only place I found that had it was some place in Hong Kong, but I bought it anyway.The site in Hong Kong came threw and I got my adaptor, plugged it in, and a message came up on my iphone saying "THIS ACCESSORY IS NOT MADE TO WORK WITH iPHONE" and under that it asked if I wanted to switch to airplane mode so that it would not interfere with the adaptor to headphone signal. After testing both modes i found no noticeable difference.It is a little bothersome to hook up the adaptor to the headphones. But I don't mind because it takes about 5 secondsI find that the iPhone with the adaptor goes threw power faster then the Sony DRBT50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset also be warned that you can not charge your iPhone when the adaptor is plugged in.That was more of a story than a review, so:Pros:comfortablecan fold up nice and compactcontrols are easyvery good sound quality - (from what i can tell)can play rather loudtalk on themNO WIRESlong battery lifecan get rather far away before the connection breaks (the connection will relink when your back in range)Cons:They are not the best lookingother signals can interfere with it (I find my microwave to do most of that, and by interfere i mean the music stops for a second)it is easy to hit the skip song switch when reaching for the volume buttons--the pause button is the skip song switch-- <<--WORST THING (for me, and its really not that bad... but the worst thing might be looks for someone else)I find that the pros much out weigh the cons. And for anyone looking at these I would suggest them. I would also suggest that they look around a little more to make sure these fit what you want them for. For me they work great for listening to music and short phone calls. Also the main reason I gave them a 4 out of 5 is because I did not do my research, not because they deserve it, they deserve a 4.5 (that rounds up to a five :) )Please say if this review helped at all (or not) | 1positive

Worst headphones I ever had
I bought this headphones to go with my new A1200 with the purpose of using it as an MP3 player. But this headphones are terrible for listening music. The sound quality is not even acceptable. They do the job for phone calls, although the quality for this is barely acceptable.I'm very disappointed with this product. Don't buy it if you want it for listening music. | 0negative

Comfortable
This is the most comfortable headset. The weight is well distributed around the ear and it stays in place. The noise canceling is so-so. A lot of background noise still gets through and it doesn't work in the wind. The sound quality is better than most but still not as good as not using a headset.We have pretty much given up on these headsets and are now looking for a wired set which has better sound quality. | 1positive

After 5 months...
I've used this headset for 5 months now. It comes with a variety of ear tips to help fit your ear. Spend some time with each of them to find the most comfortable. Note that with the non-round ones that you can insert them in 2 directions and no one's ears are the same. The tips can be inserted 180 degrees opposite, then you still get the extra rotating "play" they leave you to fine tune it after inserting. I ended up staying with the round one, which is comfortable and yields the flexibility of use on either ear, although I almost always wear it on the same side. I have nearly forgotten it is there and worn it for many hours straight with no discomfort. I will never go back to holding a phone to my head again. When I had a wired headset, I would only ever put it on when I was going to be in the car for a while; it stayed in the car. Now, if I'm not already wearing my headset, I will answer a ringing call with my phone only long enough to get out the headset and punch the button to bring the call to it. My wife thinks I'm weird for putting on the headset to make a call when I have to get my phone out to dial a number anyway (and actually the voice calling works really well on the Samsung!). The fact is that it is so much better sound and more convenient than holding a phone to the side of your head.I have paired it with my Samsung SCH-i730, a Zonet BlueTooth USB Adapter (for game talk via Ventrilo / TeamSpeak), and a cheapo BT phone base station that lets it function with the phone line at home.If I talk too softly, others can't hear me, but I can talk much softer with the headset than when I hold the phone to my head, so it's better than my phone's microphone. It is not the most sensitive microphone compared with the wired professional desk phone headsets at work, but it is one of the best rated for noice cancellation so being able to use it in a noisier environment is priceless. If I have to say something quietly that I don't want nearby people to hear, then I can just cup my hand to one side of my mouth and it directs my voice straight back towards the headset. With this headset, you won't be the jerk standing around yelling on a phone call (but if you are, I hope you get punched!)Quality of sound is great. I only notice stutter (some people call it static but it's a stutter not a hiss) if I get a wall or two or about 25 feet of clear space away from my Samsung. If my phone is charging in my car, I will just set the phone up on my dash and run into a store to get a refill and not lose the signal while I'm inside. Sometimes if certain things touch against the BT antenna part of my phone, I will hear a little stutter. I just move my arm or whatever it was away from the spot and all is well again. The funny thing is, I can't purposely cause this when I try to cover my phone with my hand or arm; it is only in certain circumstances as if it has to do with the wireless signal bouncing around just right to cause stutter.I found I could usually go 2-3 days between charges with my casual cell phone use (~20 min a day?). If you are a heavy cell user, expect about 3-4 hours of talk time in 1 day. If you need more you will have to charge this thing halfway through the day.When I started using it with Ventrilo and TeamSpeak, I had to start charging it on my way home from work, as it would only last about 3 hours of talk time after being in standby all day. I have some very good wired headsets for the computer, that I used to use for Internet chatting, but all of them pick up breathing "wind" from my nose. I never noticed that in a conversation with someone, but for gaming you sit and wear it while you're quiet a lot. You want to have it transmit when you talk but not when you sit and breathe. This headset sounds many times better than the wired ones, and does not pick up breathing or background noises unless the speakers get turned up too loud.I ordered a Plantronics USB charger cable, belt clip carry pouch, and an extra pack of eartips from HeadsetZone for a great price. I am not sure if I'd recommend the belt clip if you would tend to lose the headset out of it from a brush against anything that would catch on it. The belt clip leaves about a third of the headset exposed; it's more of a pocket than a case and has nothing but slight friction to keep the headset in it. I almost always have my shirt untucked but I still have to check the headset on my belt often to make sure it isn't falling out. If this concerns you then find something that has a velcro or snapping cover. I already owned a Cigarette-to-USB-power plug, which comes in handy for many USB devices in the car, including the charger cable. | 1positive

If it worked I could tell you more
I cannot rate the item as it never worked and I had to return it. I am hoping the new one will be in working order...it just arrived so I cannot say more. I was not overly pleased at the length of time it took to send me a new one...I sent it UPS on Mar 6th and received the new on Mar 21 but only after I sent an email asking where it was. I was promised a $7.50 credit on the postage that I paid..Have not seen that as yet but I am hopeful. | 0negative

Remember when Motorola meant quality?
I do and it's very plain to me that Motorola is just another big company living off of it's reputation. All the bad reviews here are true.I had to get mine replaced 3 times during the 1 year warranty. On the one I have now the Bluetooth works great if you keep the phone in your shirt pocket. You can't carry the phone on your belt as it is just on the edge of it's Bluetooth range.Also when I loose the signal - The phone display never updates to indicate it now has service. The phone still functions normal with the ability to make and receive calls but when you know you are back in a 5 bar area, the display still proudly displays No Service. You have to turn it off and back on to reset the display. I can live with that but I don't have much hope for the second year of my contract with no warranty.I also have a Motorola V220. I had it replaced in Nov because of the display problem and now 3 months later in February it is out again. This time it is out of warranty. Funny how these cell phone contracts are so one sided.Stay away from the MOTOROLA name completely for your best guarantee of satisfaction. | 0negative

Total waste of money
If I could give this product less than one star I would. It is a total waste of money. My experence in computers made me buy this product thinking I could get it to work unlike the other newbies. Boy was I wrong as it did not work with the 4 phones I bought it for. The only good points the company gets is for such nice packaging the product comes in. Someone needs to work out their software bugs as they have a very good product.I am so ashamed Amazon would continue to sell such a product after so many negative reviews. If Amazon had a rating system like Ebay the Datapilot would not get any customers to buy their product.This is also the only product that I have seen that DOES NOT allow a customer to send feedback to the seller. Don't waste your time trying to get help from the company either.The only other good point about the product is the cables it comes with as it is possible to use them with other software packages like Motorola Phone Tools. | 0negative

D.O.A.
I was expecting a brilliant performance from this headset, results was a big flop.The microphone work fine but the earphone part is dead!.I had to spend $25.00 to send it back to Etymotic for warranty! and wait another 2 - 3 weeks to get it back.Too bad Etymotic doesw not have any quality control for this item made in China, it would have save me at least $25.00 | 0negative

Plantronics 510
Originally tried Motorola HS820 with my Motorola E815 phone. Was happy with it at first. I liked the way it fit on my ear and it was easy to use. However, everytime I used it, the person on the other end would complain about hearing an echo. I tried turning the volume on the handset and headset down, but could not make it go away. I finally concluded that it would be useless if the person I was talking to couldn't tolerated the echo.I read reviews on many different headsets, but most of them had complaints about 'echos'. I really wanted to get a Motorola headset so the chargers for my phone and headset would be compatible. However, based on the reviews I read, I gave up on the Motorolas and tried the Plantronics 510.I've had my 510 for about a month now and am very happy with it. The sound quality is great. I don't believe the person on the other end knows if I'm talking on the handset or headset. I've had a couple complaints of an echo when I was talking to someone who normally speaks fairly loud. I had the headset volume louder than it needed to be. Once I turned to volume down a tad, they said the echo went away. This headset is definitely louder than the Motorola - probably because of the way the earbud fits in your ear (which is probably why the echo isn't a problem - the sound from the earbud doesn't reach the microphone). I still prefer the way the Motorola fit on my ear and the way the buttons felt. The buttons on the 510 aren't as easy to use, but they are tolerable. In the end, the sound quality is probably most important and the 510's is great. | 1positive

Amazing Sound Quality From Thin Air
Bluetooth has often gotten a bad rap. While it may be suitable for holding a conversation, previously, it often didn't deliver when it came to an enjoyable music experience. These bluetooth earphones change that. While these can be used as a communication headset, they really shine when it comes to taking on tunes.The highs and lows are clear, and the bass is not too light or heavy. The headphones themselves are light and comfortable, but not at all cheaply made. They are fairly resilient, and their ability to fold makes both storage and charging a snap.IMPORTANT NOTE: I was originally disappointed by these because the sound quality was sub-par. On windows Vista x64, the default connection for these is Bluetooth Hands-Free Audio, classified as speakers. For quality music, under bluetooth settings, connect these headphones as Bluetooth Stereo Audio (also classified as speakers) and disconnect them as Hands-Free audio. At first glance, these can be easily confused, but the difference is palpable. | 1positive

Junk
Snaps on easy but snaps off easy too. It also takes the nice design of the phone that is easy to open and makes the phone really hard to open and then snaps off when you do. This case also hinders comunications, maks you sound really muffled to the person on the other end of the line. | 0negative

Try something else

Excellent Headset
Pros...- The flip power switch...this was what sold me as I hated waiting 4 seconds to turn my old one off. I keep a headset in my car and want it to have a long battery life...so the easier it is to turn off, the longer the battery will last.- Very comfortable and light on ear...I forget I'm wearing it- Well built and with good attention to detail on the designCons...- Opening (and thus powering on) the headset while my Cigular 2125 is ringing won't allow me to answer the call...the headset must be on before I get a call. However, I'm thinking this isn't the H700's fault as my now lost Logitech used to do the same thing.- The H700 seems to crackle when you turn it up too loud...but it does get loud enough. | 1positive

Recommended by Leo Laporte - The Tech Guy
I first heard of this bluetooth headset from Leo Laporte, a radio and TV celebrity. The headset paired easily with my Motorola KRZR Vmax. Noise Cancellation technology works very well. I use it while biking and did not experience wind noise problems. The low profile look is sleek, with the battery and bulk electronics shifted comfortable out of sight behind the ear, exposing the thin mic. The choice of 3 earpieces made for a perfect fit. I m a healthcare provider in the hospital setting. I wear the headset for 12 hours straight without discomfort. The headset accurately conveys voice recognition commands for both preprogrammed names and digit dial commands. This product also has a accessory that allows for use as a headset for landlines. Purchased this product as a gift for my relatives. In California, headsets will be mandated on roads by July 1, 2008. This headset fits the bill. Do not know if this device allows for MP3 music to be heard from my phone. Best deal at Amazon with free shipping.Update: January 29, 2009: Still wear this headset daily. Now using with a Samsung Omnia i910 from Verizon. Voice clarity as good as first day I bought them. Battery life still good. Power connector attachment getting slightly loose which requires me to fiddle abit to get the charging blinking Red light. Overall a great value. | 1positive
