Reviewed by: rickbass on 31-Jul-06

Strengths: Small size

Weaknesses: Bad Volume

Summary: Can not hear calls and people can not hear you talking. Besides the only good feature, tha small size. It is a good product if you do not mind the low volume it has.

Strengths: Easy to follow instructions on how to set-up.

Weaknesses: Hard to see blue led indicator in daylight.

Summary: It is light and compact, easy to fit either ear and has very good volume. Would recommend to anyone interested in having a solid performer housed in a small and comfortable package.

Strengths: small in size works on either ear

Weaknesses: moves around to much on my ear

Summary: My one big problem is it is hard to form fit to my ear. Don't know if it is my ear or the plastic grip that doesn't want to hold tight enough to my ear. I only really intend to use it for driving or light duty use, so for me it will get the wireless job I want done.

Strengths: Works well with my Sony Ericsson Z520a

Weaknesses: I had difficulty initially getting the volume to increase sufficiently.

Summary: Once connected with the Sony Ericsson Z520a, this headset works very well. New law in CT requires headsets for all mobile phones used in vehicles. I couldn't get comfortable with the wired headsets. Bluetooth is the way to go.

Strengths: Loud Recieving Volume, Lightweight, Stylish

Weaknesses: Static, Can't hear on other end

Summary: When I recieved the item, i was surpised on how good in looked. When i tried it on it fits very good as well. Everything was going smooth. I made a few calls, I can hear people loud and clear. Trust me, this thing got a good output to your ears. Then everybody started complaining about them can't hear me and my voice was really choppy. Tested it myself and it was true. I would not recommend if you are always in a noisy enviroment.

Strengths: Talk Time, Small Size

Weaknesses: None

Summary: The H500 matched easily with my cell phone. It is light and easy to use with a button to hang up or answer the phone on the headset. I would recommend this headset.

Strengths: Size and price. Quick set up with my Samsung A900. Lightweight and decent quality sound

Weaknesses: Get some static when the charge on my phone is getting a little low.

Summary: Couldn't beat the overall quality available for the price. It had an easy set up and I was operational in a few minutes with the help of my Samsung Owners Guide. I was hoping for a little better sound quality but overall it's pretty darn good and meets my needs. Beats the heck out of trying to drive a five speed and hold a cell phone at the same time! I'm a happy camper.

Strengths: Clear sound; no static; easy fit for all; very clear.

Weaknesses: None!

Summary: The Motorola H500 wireless headset is a marvelous tool. The sound is extremely clear and reliable. It's wonderful to be able to drive and talk on the cell phone with both hands on the steering wheel! I'd buy it again! And it's a pleasure to deal with Price Grabber! Thanks and God bless you!

Strengths: Light and confortable to wear.

Weaknesses: Static

Summary: I use the H500 with a Treo 650 and experience static unless the phone is within a couple of feet. Even with the phone laying on the passenger seat of the car I have static when in the drivers seat. If I have the Treo in a holster on my belt I get static. The whole purpose of using a bluetooth headset is defeated.

Strengths: light, USB compartible charger

Weaknesses: ECHO!!!

Summary: Since I purchased this headset from the source I could not rely and it came in open blister package with manual out of copy machine I cannot say whether I got genuine Motorola product or cheap imitation If it's a real deal I'm utterly disappointed in this product. I have another headseat Scala-500 and can compare both. Scala doesn't have echoing problem whatsoever. H500 makes conversation almost impossible because person I'm talking to is hearing himself. Tried to use different cell phones, providers, ground line - no help. Also this H500 has loose button - it makes rattling sounds if you move your head too quick Well, as I said before if it's made by Motorola - shame on them, if it's counterfit - shame on me for looking for bargain in unreliable sources.

Strengths: light weight, attrctive design

Weaknesses: Takes a bit getting used. Charge doesn't last as long as advertised

Summary: This is the first bluetooth device I have owned. What a pleasure to not have a cord hanging over and getting caught in other things. Reception just as good as a wired device. Easy to , and learn.

Strengths: great sound quality and easy to use.

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I highly recommend this headset. Good sound and mic. Just like all headsets I have experienced, you still have to determine the best fit for YOUR ear. Well worth the money and in my opinion it out performs the H700 headset !!!!!

Reviewed by: dihedral on 30-May-06

Strengths: Light & comfortable. Easy setup

Weaknesses: Staticky reception when more than 1 1/2 feet away from my Sony Ericcson W600i. Voice dialing doesn't work with my W600i.

Summary: I really wanted to like this bluetooth headset. It is very comfortable to wear and setup was a snap. My wife has a pink one to match her pink Motorola RAZR and she loves hers.But mine doesn't seem to match up with my Sony Ericcson W600i. Reception is staticky even from a very short distanct away and my phone also doesn't seem to recognize voice dialing commands unless I move the headset microphone to just in front of my mouth (and really, what's the point of bluetooth if you have to do that??).I'd be cautious if you plan to use this headset with a non-Motorola phone.

Reviewed by: scareduck on 27-Apr-06

Strengths: Good sound, fits well

Weaknesses: Unbonds way too easily, makes you look like a Lobot

Summary: I've had this headset for about a week now, and while the sound quality is good and it fits well, it seems to unbond very easily with my Verizon RAZR phone, forcing me to reboot the phone and the headset. Talk time is supposed to be eight hours, but I've so far been unable to get anywhere near that, though I can't tell whether it's bonding issues or battery charge trouble.

Strengths: Works great. The sound is extremely clear. The headset is easy to use.

Weaknesses: It feels a little loose on my ear

Summary: This headset is great!!! I would definately purchase it again. This headset is very convenient to use while driving or cleaning the house. The range is great and people on the other end do not have trouble hearing you.
