4 out of 5 stars Good Headset.......2007-11-13

I purchased the Scala 500 Bluetooth Headset after looking at other recommendations. I've never owned one before so I'm not familiar with other designs. This headset does really well in windy situations and is very easy to use. It stays active for a long time, is easy to setup, smallish, and functional. Not too many features to confuse a novice and not too little to be ineffectual. I would definitely recommend this product.

3 out of 5 stars not so great.......2007-11-08

I got this headset to replace a Plantronics Explorer 330 Easy-To-Use Bluetooth® Headset for all Bluetooth Enabled Phones that I washed(which was fantastic btw). Over all the functioning is fine. The wind control does not really work but the sound is generally clear and the battery life is good. However, the earpiece is very uncomfortable it is loose and feels like it is going to fall off. Its ok for short-term use but not something you can really wear for any length of time for example when you are not actually on the phone. I am currently looking into other options because I do not use this headset. It is more convenient to not use a headset at all than to use this one.

2 out of 5 stars You Can Do Better Than This.......2007-09-18

I got this headset about 6 months ago. It worked fairly well for the first four months, although the volume control was somewhat erratic -- nothing that I couldn't live with. However, in the past two months the bluetooth connection drops out unpredictably even though the phone is no more than three feet away at all times. I know that it's not the phone (LG enV) since the connection between it and my Motorola stereo headset never drops.

Aside from that (which is a deal breaker in my book: if I had known that this would happen, I never would have bought this headset), the earpiece is fairly flimsy. I haven't broken it, but I've come close several times. I also noticed that the price on this headset has gone way up since I bought it at $29.99. Why? -- I couldn't tell you. But it's not worth it -- for $43, you can do a whole lot better.

4 out of 5 stars Good Product for the Price.......2007-07-30

Had this unit for a few weeks now - previously had 2 Motorola units. It connects readily with my "Q" (much better than the Motorolas did). Construction is a little cheap & cheerful but it is lightweight and sits comfortably on the ear. Lanyard & hoslter great ideas if you are inclined to lose/misplace things (fate of my last motorola bluetooth). Wind guard technology seems to work also.

Negatives - call button stands out and is easily pressed accidentally. Max volume just about OK would appreciate more range. Callers say sounds a little hollow/tinny in use. The 'silicon cap' referred to instructions is not supplied you have to ask them for this (they sent me one on request).

Overall rating good for the price and value for money.

        5 out of 5 stars Worth the money.......2007-10-29

        I purchased a black and pink scala 500 for my christmas 2006. I love using this headset. I always have trouble keeping the phone to my ear comfortably and this has been a great item. The sound quality is excellent on the headset end and I have not heard any complaints from the people I talk to on the headset. The easily adjustable earpiece is extremely comfortable on my ear and verry easy to get used to wearing. I would definitely buy another and would recommend this product to anyone.

        5 out of 5 stars Nearly perfect bluetooth headset........2007-05-02

        First off I'll go ahead and give the verdict on the Cardo Scala 500 BT headset: It's awesome.

        Phones used: Palm Treo 650 and 700p

        About 4 years ago I bought a Sony Ericsson cellphone which was too small for comfortable use and I bought my first bluetooth headset (a Jabra 250). Less than a year later and I upgraded to a Treo 650 which is notoriously finicky regarding bluetooth connection and stability and started looking for a replacement. After doing a lot of research I ended up buying my first Cardo Scala 500.

        In comparison to the Jabra, it was smaller, had much better battery life, both for talk time and standby time. I never had any trouble with the phone connection, and from what my friends told me, the sound quality was far better than even using the phone itself. I was extremely happy with the purchase. After nearly 2 years of use, the headset suffered some significant damage (accidental crushing) though it still functioned normally for a while until it finally went under.

        It just so happened that I switched phone carriers at around that time and the Verizon people had a deal on the Motorola HS-850 and the salesperson said it works great with his Treo 700w, so I thought I'd give it a try. Big mistake. The HS-850 would drop the BT connection (though not the phonecall) randomly during conversation, the sound quality was very tinny according to people I spoke with and the volume was very poor on my end.

        I thought I'd look through Amazon and try to get another Scala 500. But at the time they were out of stock (except in pink), so I got the Scala 700. While the 700 is smaller and lighter than the 500, the sound quality is significantly worse (and worse than the HS-850 also). Additionally, the build quality is worse and the ear loop included in the package would not, no matter how I bent it, keep the speaker next to my ear (which is not oddly shaped in any way). Luckily I still had the ear loop from the old 500 and it fits perfectly and works without any problems. I will say there are times that the quality is decent/acceptible, and other times that it is abysmal. I cannot for the life of me figure out what makes one or the other occur.

        So I've been using both the HS-850 and Scala 700 for about 5-8 months and the result is that neither is acceptible. The HS-850 is too problematic in the first place, and to top it off, it broke under what I would not consider to be excessive use nor was there any significant incident at all. One of the pivot points had a plastic failure and that's all it took to completely incapacitate the headset. The Scala 700 continues to have such spotty performance and my fiancée asked me to replace it.

        So I bought another Scala 500. The sound quality is great (both ways), the price is great, and its light enough for extended use. More comfortable than the HS-850, BT250, and Scala 700 by far. The sound quality is such that I have used it in my convertible with better results than the built-in mic on the phone. That does NOT mean I would put somebody through a long conversation under those circumstances. But it is usable for brief conversations. Your mileage my vary, though. I am not impressed that the difference is reasonably represented by the sound clips provided above.

        4 out of 5 stars Way better than the Moto500 for Nokia.......2007-04-08

        Right out of the box it worked great. I had to return the moto500 due to static and disconnecting every few minutes as well as volume issues

        This Scala has excelletnt volume control, no static and works well with the Nokia 6301. It also comes with a belt clip, eye glass clip and laynard, all things you had to buy extra with Motorola.

        As the person about said, much better fit when you bend the ear piece. On a side note, first day I the little pin that goes on the laynard fell off and is lost.

        1 out of 5 stars Terrible terrible item.......2007-02-12

        I ordered this and received it in January. About 3.5 weeks ago. It has stopped working. I emailed the customer service at Scala with no response. Amazon apparently will not take it back as it is 30 days from shipping. Do not buy this item as it is very defective. I did not drop it or misuse it in any way. It worked fine for about 3 weeks. We have followed all the directions and it simply is broken.

        5 out of 5 stars Very impressed w/Scala.......2007-01-16

        This is head and shoulders above any other bluetooth headset that I have tried. The noise reduction is especially impressive.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent Sound Isolation.......2006-11-03

        Background and wind noise is not a problem. The unit is small, light and can be worn on your ear, lanyard or lapel.
