  Good deal. Decent earpiece for the price. Has some minor issues., 2008-10-25
I got this earpiece after my $100 one broke with minimal usage. I only use it to call my friends long distance once a week or so. It does it's job well and the sound is good. My friends never really complain about the noise or sound while I am using it. I will say that it is annoying since you don't know if it is "on" or "off". When you try to call sometimes it will automatically dial the last number your cell phone has and it might not be the person you want to call. It also has a tendency to easily be turned on and I have more then one occassion called my brother a few times with it in my purse. That is just with it accidently having the button on the earpiece pushed and as I said before, it will automatically dial the last number it has on the cellphone. It does not "sit" inside the ear, but hangs from your ear. I have not had too much problems with that, but if you like to have the thing in the ear then this isn't the one for you. The color is nice and the price was really good considering how much they use to go for. If anything happens to this one, it won't hurt my wallet like my $100 one did.

  Not worth the money, 2008-10-22
I bought this item to use with my LG Env. I thought it would have been a lot better since it was a motorla but I was way wrong. EVERY CALL HAS A HOWL!!! I have tried it on 5 different phones including 2 Env's, 1 Env2, 1 voyager and a blackberry. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.

very loose fit on the ear and hard to reconnect if you go out of range

  Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset in Orange, 2008-09-05
Bluetooth cell phone headsets are really a subjective choice. Some love them and others hate them, and some models seem to fit one person's ear (and lifestyle) better than another.

That being said, this reviewer will try to offer an (overdue) opinion on what has turned out to be a pretty good choice in a well-made Bluetooth cell phone headset.

When I first looked at the Motorola H500, it's price tag was in the $100 range, so it was easy to pass on in favor of wired headsets. But with the recent price drops, this unit is not only worth considering, it's now even lower priced than some of the better wired units that were former favorites. Considering that so many states and localities have laws against cell phone use while driving, this can be an excellent communication tool if used carefully and safely.

There are many brands and model out there to choose from, but the Motorola H500 is well worth consideration, especially in light of its excellent pricing. Once adjusted and positioned correctly to the ear, its overall sound quality has turned out to be excellent. Had held off on making a decision between brands and models mostly because I wear glasses, but after a bit of retail store test driving for fit and sound, found (like other reviewers) that this headset seems to settle easily to my ear and just seems to fit properly.

One way of looking at how well a Bluetooth cell phone headset functions would perhaps be to rate its use during everyday tasks or activities, so here are a few of those, along with my personal findings.

- Driving: excellent, quite functional, 5-stars.
- Walking: excellent, 5-stars.
- Cycling: excellent, low wind noise, 5-stars.
- Running: OK, 4-stars (felt like it might fall off).
- Computing: excellent, 5-stars.
- Sleeping: decent, 4-stars... hey, just joking here!


Don't want to go on a rant about driving while using a cell phone, but if you take the time to read your phone's manual along with the one for the Motorola H500, you'll find that you can use it with voice activated functions, so that you don't need to fool with cell phone dialing when driving. Just program your phone, say your party's name into the Bluetooth device and you'll be automatically connected.

Cons:
- Ringtone alerts, but that's a personal thing.
- Small volume controls.


Is this Motorola headset the newest, latest and greatest? Nope. If you want that, check out the new Jawbone II Bluetooth Headset by Aliph, but then check out the price on that unit and compare the features.


Summary:
The Motorola H500 is an inexpensive Bluetooth cell phone headsets, offering good sound quality, nice ergonomics, and better-than-average range. It's an excellent communication device, adding to driving safety if used carefully. If you're looking for a good Bluetooth headset at a reasonable price, it's well worth considering.


Update:
For those who privately asked, my H500 didn't come in a box. It came in a ziplock-style bag that was marked "bulk" on the label. It contained the H500 headset, AC charger, user guides and a "Motomanual." From all appearances it was brand new.

  CAN'T TELL IF BLUETOOTH IS TURNED ON/OFF, 2008-08-31
THE BLUETOOTH IS PRETTY CLEAR, HOWEVER ONE BAD FEATURE I FIND IS THE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND OFF IS BLUE FOR BOTH AND SOMETIMES IF YOU'RE OUTDOORS, IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE TURNED THE BLUETOOTH OFF.
