Big Ears Only?.......2007-11-03

I bought this one for me because it matches my phone color.

Pros: It is easy to connect to the phone. I have a Motorola Razr. The reception is great. The calls are very clear. My calls are static-free under most circumstances. It has worked better in that situation than my previous headset.

Cons: It is a little large. It is not truly hands-free. It fits so loosely that I have to hold it on my ear to hear a call clearly and to keep it from falling off. The earhook is made of hard plastic that won't bend. That makes it so it doesn't need to be replaced as often as one that does but it also makes it so that you can't adjust it to your ear size. I need to charge it every other night.

I have used 2 different wireless headsets. They both seem to drain a lot of power from the phone and require that they both be charged more frequently than if you didn't use it.

Amazon.com Hands-On Review

Motorola's H500 headset is a member of Motorola's 3rd generation of Bluetooth headsets. Like the RAZR styled H3 headset that it shares many components with, the Bluetooth v1.2 compatible H500 is rated for up to 8 hours of talk time and 150 hours of standby time. However, the H500 is both smaller and lighter than the more industrial looking H3, weighing only .6oz (17.6g) and having a body length of only 2.3" (58mm). As such, it can easily fit in a shirt or pants pocket without trouble. Since it is very solidly built and has no easily breakable parts, you won't have to worry about it getting damaged, either.

Recharge your H500 with a miniUSB cable.

Ergonomically, I find the H500 to be the most comfortable and secure fitting of the current lineup of Motorola headsets. The ear-loop is thin enough for use with eyeglasses, yet has a rubber surface that is grippy enough to hold the headset's minimal heft in place for most people. While the ear-loop can be easily removed and flipped for use on either ear, it is not adjustable beyond that. However, when it is flipped, a sensor inside the headset reconfigures the two volume control buttons so that the up volume button is always on the top side, and the down volume button is always on the bottom.

The only other control on the H500 is the multi-function button on the outside face of the H500. The button does not require a lot of pressure to activate, thankfully, and handles power on and off, as well as all of the call control features - excluding volume. Those include answering and ending a call, as well as 3-way call control, hold, and mute functionality. Pairing the headset with a phone is a simple task: just hold the multi-function button for an extra few seconds when turning the H500 on, and the blue LED call indicator will turn on. This means that the headset is ready to be paired, and can be discovered with any phone, PDA, or computer that supports the headset or hands free Bluetooth profiles. As is the case for most headsets on the market, the PIN code for the H500 is "0000".

The previously mentioned blue LED status light can even be turned off if you don't wish to draw any undue attention to yourself. Normally the LED cycles on and off slowly during a call, and will flash briefly once every few seconds otherwise to indicate that it is powered on.

In terms of audio quality, the H500 offers great inbound sound and reasonable outbound performance as well. The only issue with the outbound sound is that it is missing some high frequency response, which makes the otherwise full audio sound a little muffled at times. It is a much more pleasant sound than that which many other handsets offer, but is not necessarily as easy to understand. But with that said, the overall audio performance is still quite good. When using the H500 with various mobile phones and PC Bluetooth adapters the connections remained completely static free.

Like most of the newer Motorola handsets that we've seen released in the past year or so, the Motorola H500 makes use of a miniUSB connection for power. As such, the headset can be recharged with a Motorola miniUSB power adapter as well as with a regular miniUSB cable connected to a desktop or laptop personal computer, which is often much more convenient.

Pros:

Small, light

Good overall audio

Cons:

Ear-loop can not be bent to fit

The Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset is available in a multiple colors, including a bright pink version that perfectly matches the color of the pink Motorola RAZR V3c that is sold by Verizon Wireless. For as little as the H500 costs, you can hardly ask for more. You won't be disappointed with it.

Great Product.......2007-12-30

Product does what it's supposed to do. I have not had any problems thus far. I would definitely recommend this product to others. Plus, I love the pink, very girly!

Can you hear me now?.......2007-12-29

My little pink bluetooth is so cute, but everyone has a hard time hearing me. I have a friend who has a better bluetooth and I can't even tell when he is using it. I think next time, I will pay the extra money and get a good one!

Very easy to use and I love the color. The accessories it came with are a nice touch especially the wipe I can attach to the phone to clean the screen

Easy to use.......2007-12-23

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. I tried it out for a week and loved it. I could hear better and it was very easy to turn off and on as well as use while on my ear.

Pretty In Pink - Good Looks, Stable Performance and Outstanding Value!.......2007-12-19

First of all I just want to say, this low cost Bluetooth headset is a great value. There are a lot of Bluetooth heasets to choose from on the market today. Many are more stylish and have more bells and whistles, but for under $30.00 this headset is one of the best values out there. This pink version is very cute and offers a perfect color match for the Versizon V3 series Motorola Pink Razr. However, I believe the gentle pink color is the only stylish element of this headset. Take away the pink and you are left with a very generic looking earpiece.

Now lets talk about performance. The H500 couldn't be eaiser to use. It paired with my daughter's Verizon Motorola Pink Razr in just seconds, and the button configuration of this unit makes perfect sense. The buttons have gentle action yet offer a satisfying "click" feel when pushing them; not mushy feeling at all. The sound quality of the speaker is quite good but not acceptional. The voice quality of the microphone is very impressive. When I am on the phone with my daughter, she actually sounds much better with this headset than when using the Razr phone alone. It does tend to pickup a great deal of background noise though, so it may not be the best in noisey environments. The H500 sits in a very stable manner on my daughters ear. The ear hook is soft and flexible and can be worn for extended periods without discomfort. It does not look or feel as if it will fall off your ear even when tipping your head.

I am giving this headset a full 5 stars. I do not rate the H500 so highly for its outstanding style, but rather for its simple functionality, solid performance, great build quality and overall value for the money. You just can't get a better Bluetooth headset for under $30.00! I highly recommend this headset for any woman that is looking for a cute color match to her Verizon Moto Razr, while also seeking a comfortable fit and impressive performance. There may be better looking headsets out there, but you'll likely suffer penalties in cost and/or performance.
