Reviewed by: monkihead on 31-Jan-08
Strengths: Style, Large button
Weaknesses: Poor Fit
Summary: It looks great and functionality and intuitive, but all that is mud if you can't get it to sit snug enough on the ear so you can here the volume. I bought two and they have sat in desk ever since, completely worthless

Reviewed by: sureshmanne on 16-Jun-07
Strengths: I do not see any strengths
Weaknesses: It has very bad sound quality and has great disturbance in sound.
Summary: I am completely unsatisfied after buying this product. Sound clarity is very bad and always get complaint that the others can't hear me properly. My phone is a brand new one.. I checked with other bluetooth headsets it is perfectly fine.

Strengths: End user friendly.
Weaknesses: Seems like your forever recharging.
Summary: The earpiece is very comfortable. Clarity is good. Don't let the size fool you, do not need a boom are, this unit pick up users voice well. Caller cannot tell one is on a bluetooth, as it doesn't sound like one is "in a tunnel" like other earpieces do.

Strengths: cheap, reasonable sound quality.
Weaknesses: sound quality not the best in the world. no battery life indicator(really bad since you never know when its going to die on you). also short battery life.
Summary: would not buy again.save yourself some trouble and buy a more expensive set with better sound quality, a battery life indicator and longer talktime.also the fit is by no means the best in the world.

Reviewed by: tashi1 on 05-Mar-07
Strengths: very good price. easy setup
Weaknesses: Hard to turn off, battery runs down quickly because unit remains on when one thought it was off.
Summary: Sound quality is fair as one would expect. Works well as a computer IP telephony head set (skype, ichat, etc.). Configuration is easy but even after repeated use, it is difficult to tell when you successfully turned it off. I would buy it again because the price is right.

Strengths: Bluetooth technology allows for mutiple phone model use! Range is about 30 feet. So light weight ytou forget you are even wearing it.
Weaknesses: voice dialing through headset not very good. Can not select ring tones for different callers on headset.
Summary: If you already have a Motorola Phone this headset is a plus because it uses the same charger. Only needs about two hour charge for "normal" all day talk time. Overall I am pleased with both talk time and clarity.

Reviewed by: undertaker101 on 11-Dec-06
Strengths: small, easy to carry around, nice design.
Weaknesses: I have difficulty to increase the volume enough when I'm driving or at outside. It just can't go as loud as my Sony Ericsson phone.
Summary: I do not have any complaints about this product except for the weakness mentioned above. I can see that other users have reported the volume is not high enough even at max level. So if you use this headset a lot in noisy environment, I think you should look elsewhere. Overall, with the price that you can get now, i.e $22 shipped, I don't see how you could go wrong with it. Nice design too and easy to put inside your pocket when you don't want to wear it on your ear.

Strengths: Lightweight, comfortable easy to pair up
Weaknesses: Instruction manual and actual user functions do not always work as described
Summary: The first one that I received did not work, after about 10 days received the replacement. I works fine. The manual stated that the blue flashing light was suspose to stop after 5 minutes to save battery power but the blue light always flashes

Strengths: works fine
Weaknesses: Looks old
Summary: It seems that the one I received is a duplicate of Motorola, the reason being the manual has many spelling mistake, and the hardware itself does not have a good finishing touch, still it works fine. I am not sure if this product comes as it is.

Strengths: Small, compact. Sound is very clear.
Weaknesses: The on button presses easily when it's in my purse or pocket and turns the blue tooth on when I don't realize it. I would much rather have the blue tooth earpiece that has a flip to open feature.

Strengths: Battery life and same charger as Moto phone.
Weaknesses: Not loud enough. Tough to work volume buttons.
Summary: Compact and comfortable. You can switch ears easily. Volume just doesn't go up high enough to counteract highway road noise in a truck. As with most BT devices it occasionally drops out and reconnects.

Strengths: Small Lightweight, sets up easily
Weaknesses: Horrible sound quality, lots of static. People can't hear me unless I yell!
Summary: I purchased this to work with my Treo 650. Overall poor performance. Lots of static, poor sound quality, hard to use controls. Maybe I got a bad one but I'm going to return it and look for another.
