 Latest Headset a Winner October 14, 2005
bob (Colorado Springs, CO USA)
106 out of 109 found this review helpful
I have a Motorola e815, and was using a Motorola hs850 headset (see my review). That headset was compact and easy to use, but felt very wobbly, and the sound quality (especially receiving volume) left something to be desired. I got the h500, and I really love it!
br /
br /First, it's volume is much better than my previous headset. When the environment is noisy, I can hear my call! The transmitter is about the same quality-not as good as a wired unit, but good enough to be heard on the other end. A big plus here is that when the phone rings, there is a tone in the headset when it's one also. The HS850 didn't have one, and if you miss the ringtone, you miss the call. This backup tone has alerted me several times before I was aware of the phone itself.
br /
br /Second, the earpiece is better designed and more comfortable. It has a small notch that fits over the front curve of your ear, that aligns the mic on your ear. The earpiece, while thin, doesn't feel as flimsy as my previous Motorola, which always felt like it was ready to flop around at the slightest motion. While it's not rock solid, it feels much more secure.
br /
br /Third, it has a mute feature, handy for those times when you need it.
br /
br /Finally, the finish is great. The on/off button is surrounded by chrome, and the plastic body looks metallic. The finish exudes quality. Pairing this unit was ultra simple. I don't have talk/wait times yet, but I love this headset. It would be perfect if it had a battery indicator or caller ID feature. It's a keeper.
The Best All-Around Value for Use with a Razr! March 18, 2006
David R. Bess (Charleston, WV)

Since purchasing my Razr, I've done some extensive shopping and comparison to improve upon my Motorola H820 Bluetooth headset. After trying a couple other popular brands, I've purchased this model and am very happy with it.
br /
br /For Razr owners, the H500 uses the same charging attachment as the Razr, which is a HUGE plus. The button placement is simple and easy to master. I had no problems whatsoever getting the headset to connect with my phone or using it to place calls.
br /
br /Sometimes less is more -- that's certainly the case with this little Bluetooth headset. It's the best all-around value in a Bluetooth headset, especially for use with a Razr.
Seems "perfect" to me November 27, 2005
M. Thaler (Bkly., Ca)

Bought two of these yesterday. Pink one for the lady and grey for me.
br / Voice quality, both incoming and outgoing is excellent. So light, you can wear it for hours w.o. a problem - you forget it is there. Volume is definitely loud - but can be adjusted, if you want.
br / We are using it w. SE r520m phones - first generation ("years" ago) that had BT built-in.
br / I had bought a Cardo "Allways" head set in 12/03. It was so cumbersome, neither of us really used it. It was uncomfortable.
br / I can see I'll be using this most of the day. I am a heavy cel phone user - 2000 min./mo. - mostly day time.
br /
br / I find it strange in reading reviews of these items that some find a model to be quite good in a feature (eg. volume) and others find the same model unacceptable. Since no two people have the same size OR shape ears, probably a headset should be tried on for fit before purchase - just like you would a pair of shoes.

High quality sound using Moto v635 October 8, 2005
Jeff (New York, USA)
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
The Motorola H500 is a very well made and full featured headset. The sound quality is amazing, much better than most wired headsets. The sound is crisp and clear, with very little distortion. The unidirectional microphone is good at cutting out background noise. Most people think that I'm on a landline! The user guide looks more like a quick start guide, but IMHO it's well written. This would seem to be enough guidance for most people, I mean it's just a headset. It's also very tiny, feels great on the ear, and it's a perfect visual match to shiny silver phones, especially the Motorola RAZR. Also of note is the fact that this headset uses the new Moto mini USB charging port (like the one on the RAZR). So people with Motorola phones that use the old style charging port will have to carry 2 chargers when traveling. Other than that, it's a great headset and highly recommended.
Works well, fits well, sounds good. May 11, 2006

What more can you ask for. At the request of my girlfriend we each wanted to upgrade our phones as ours were severely outdated and starting to malfunction. We both updated to Razr V3c's which came bundled with 3 chargers the H500 ear set and leather cases. Now maybe because of the bundle one can over look minor flaws. I have used the voice commands quite a bit and not one time have had it misdial. However, my girlfriend has had 1 issue because the two names sounded very similar. This happens with the phone itself or when using the headset and therefore, this cannot be a flaw with the H500.
br /
br /Now, I was driving down the highway yesterday and my girlfriend had called me, also using her headset. With the windows closed, I could hear her perfectly and she could here me, when I opened the window, she experienced some "choppiness" as people are now referring to it. Well, because of the comfort, where the phone is not in your face and set back, I assume the mic has to be sensistive and therefore picking up more noise than other "dooky" headsets to capture the voice.
br /
br /Overall, I do not see this device to be a huge issue yet. I am a little nervous about losing battery power like another user had pointed out but I guess we'll see.
