Negative Review

Reviewed by: Bob_Betty on 17-Mar-08

Strengths: low

Weaknesses: low

Summary: I never got to use it. The battery never took a charge.It would take the charge for a while;but when you left it and then tried to use it the battery was dead again. Sometimes it didn't take that long to wait for it not to work.

Strengths: lightweight, mic picks up sound well

Weaknesses: mic picks up sound too well

Summary: Very affordable. So light and comfortable to wear, it's easy to forget you're wearing it. No problems being heard, but folks can hear background sounds. Overall, a great low-cost, first headset!

Reviewed by: cehoward7 on 20-Apr-07

Strengths: None

Weaknesses: Does not hold a charge or work at all! It only worked for a few days and died! I have tried to contact someone to return but can't reach anyone. I will never purchase through pricegrabber again.

Summary: Return procedures should be easier. It's ashame that a review should have a minimum of 150 characters especially when the review is negative. It doesn't require a book to be written to explain how disappointed one is.

Strengths: Reception, battery life, works with Linux with coaxing.

Weaknesses: Button design.

Summary: Reception is strong when walking around, even away from the bluetooth transmitter; battery life is as advertised; works on Suse 10.1 Linux using alsa bluetooth drivers and btsco. Multi-function button could be better designed -- have to hold it down for a few seconds to turn the device on/off, which is annoying if I want to use my hand for something else. Would rather have multiple, separate buttons. Wish there was some way to check remaining battery life. Very satisfied, but would not pay full price.

Reviewed by: mudslgr on 26-Mar-07

Strengths: Very easy to use. Good range. After charging it, it took me 3 min. to set up with my phone!

Weaknesses: The blue light is a little bright at night. Volume is a little weak. When on the road, it is hard to hear.

Summary: Item works great overall! It fits snug to your ear and does not fell like it is going to fall off. It does need a foam ear piece to help with external noise reduction. Would I buy it again.... 50/50 on this item.

Negative Review

Reviewed by: douchmach on 24-Feb-07

Strengths: None

Weaknesses: Static while talking, callers complain they can't hear you, need to YELL. Doesn't stay attached to ear securely, always feels like it's going to fall off.

Summary: Disappointed with this product, thought the brand was reliable, will never buy a Motorola product again. Bought a Plantronics Voyager 510HS, excellent Bluetooth, flawless operation, highly recommend. Also very comfortable, hardly notice it being on your ear. Although it's not small and eye appealing, it works great, and isn't that we want?

Strengths: Long battery life, easy configuration, great overall value.

Weaknesses: old Motorola two prong power plug, not as good as USB.

Summary: For the money, you can't beat this headset. battery life is great (6 hours talk, 100 hour stand by), reception is good, voice pick up is good(unless in noisy environment), and volume is pretty good too. I would like to see them use the new USB connection over this old two prong plug. The problem is over time the two prong will fail to make a good connection and you find yourself doing the plug, unplug, wiggle, wiggle thing. Just a bad design that Moto has pretty much discontinued on their cell phones. With the price though, ..... I can easily deal with that (I paid $26 w/S&H)! I would definitely recommend this product to the average cell phone consumer that wants reliable, yet very affordable wireless headset capabilities.

Strengths: it's so light you forget ur wearing it.

Weaknesses: not compatible with my phone...

Summary: I love this headset ecause i's small & light, i used it with my Razr phone and never had a problem - I bought a new phone and i was able to hear but when answering the phone there was always a very loud screeching noize - i am exchanging it for a Jabra - hopefully this one will work good.

Reviewed by: MARIOLOZANO1 on 21-Jan-07

Strengths: LOTS OF FEATURES

Weaknesses: NOT TO LOUD

Summary: This is a great headpiece. The only complaint is I wish it could turn up more, but for the price and all of the features you can access with a touch of a button it is a good product. Very e-z setup with your cell phone and very user friendly. I would recommend to any one buying a bluetooth headset for the first time.

Reviewed by: mnkybouy on 17-Jan-07

Strengths: Easy to use. Good reception. Comfortable to wear

Weaknesses: Battery doesn't seem to last long.

Summary: I don't use the product frequently which may lead to battery dissapation, otherwise am very pleased with the product. I would advise purchase for the price. The reception is very good, people I talk to hear me clearly with little background noise.

Negative Review

Reviewed by: soobie on 07-Jan-07

Strengths: Lightweight, small, good connection to phone

Weaknesses: Very poor microphone, too loose on the ear

Summary: Although it's easy to hear, light & compact many people on the other end always complain that the noise quality is very poor. If I could, would return it. I'm currently looking for another bluetooth. Can't stand it anymore.

Strengths: Wireless, easy to configure

Weaknesses: wish battery lasted longer, wish it charged off the same charger as my razor phone

Summary: Great price on the product made me take a look. Arrived quickly and was very easy to configure, overall very happy with it. I would recommend it for others to use if you don't want to spend $100 on the top of the line models.

Strengths: Easy instructions to synchronize with other products and charge the headset. Very clear speaking and comfortable to the ears.

Weaknesses: I wish the range was longer.

Summary: This is not my first bluetooth headset. This is a great product! It is so convenient. I would refer this product in a heartbeat! My callers sound so clear and they have never complained about how I sound to them. The heaadset is comfortable to the ears and the voice features with the easy access controls are wonderful! Honestly, I don't know why I didn't purchase this product sooner!

Strengths: Sound and mic work great. Headset is simple to setup and use.

Weaknesses: Does pick up some wind noise but not bad.

Summary: This is not a hit to the product so I didn't ding it on my review, but having bluetooth active kills my battery twice as fast on my razor.
