Great Device
By JohnVerified Reviewer from Wyoming, Michigan on 1/31/2008
Pros:
Clear Signal, Durable, Good fit, Good Sound, Good Volume Control, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:
Gadget Freek
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After reading some of the reviews I almost did not buy the H500. The H500 charges fast, 2 hours or less, and lasts all day and then some. Sound and mic quality are excellent. Controls are well located with quick response. The H500 remained connected all day. I am using this with a Blackberry and it makes full use of all the features available on the Blackberry. The H500 is an excellent device.

I use it when driving or shopping so I can be hands-free. It does not stay near the ear so I am constantly fooling with it to make sure I hear the conversation.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my first headset to purchase. I wasn't sure I would like using a headset, so I didn't want to spend alot of money. Overall, I think I got a good product for the price. [...]. It is very lightweight, has good sound, and the people I call say it is clear. My only complaint is that it doesn't fit snugly to my ear. It would do better with a bendable ear wire instead of the plastic hook. Other than that I have been very satisfied. Also, the guy that helped me at the store was very helpful and informative. He helped me find what was good for me instead of trying to sell me the most expensive thing.

 
This is the best headset ...
By Eina V from Seattle, WA on 6/8/2007

This is the best headset I have ever had and I have had 3 or 4 different brands and models. Talk time on a FULL charge is about 5 to 8 hours and standby is 4 to 5 days when it is constantly on. My boyfriend has a set that is twice as expensive and mine has better sound (he can't even tell Im on a headset) better battery life, and better price. Super easy to use, you just need to get used to the buttons.

By Candy C from Vallejo on 1/29/2007
Pros:
Easy to use, Good Value

I have swapped out the H500 two times thinking maybe that it was just the first one having problems. Mainly static that the person on the other end could hear, but not me. Great price, lightweight and easy to use, just too much static and the volume was low even when turned up real high and ear hook didn't fit snugly on either ear. Maybe just my ear? Finally upgraded to the H700, better fit and volume sounds loud and VERY lightweight!

By Matt L from Pittsburgh Pa on 1/20/2007
Pros:
Easy to use, Good sound quality

Great batterey life makes it last for days of use without constsnt charging, however there is quite a bit of static that causes my phones voice dial to work poorly at times.

By Erica d from Saginaw on 1/13/2007
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good sound quality, Good Value

I love my headset, and work for a radioshack local in my area. I wear and talk on it all day long and demo it to customers. Its a great buy, and although you get static ( as you would with anything else) i find it has the least static without moving to the HS850, for more money and a larger piece on your ear. My only complaint is the ear clip itself, but even then- i wear it all day long without a problem

By Paula M from Thousand Oaks, CA on 1/8/2007

I am so disappointed. The ear piece will not fit my ear, and there is a lot of static.

By joan J from Maryland on 11/3/2006

My experience with the bluetooth was heavy static,low battery life even when I kept it charged at my desk all day, the functions of muting people out,redial, three way calling did not work. none of the functions work! I have since returned the item.

By Laura K from Flint, Michigan on 9/19/2006
Pros:
Easy to use

I purchased this one for my husband and the pink H500 for myself. Easy to pair, and use. But, the talk time is NOT what they say it is. We only get about an hour of talk time and stand by time is also NOT what they say it is at 130 hours! I am returning the two headsets and buying another brand. Very disappointed in the talk time on the battery,even when fully charged.

By Peter N from Goleta, California on 7/11/2006
Pros:
Easy to use

This headset has performed terribly for me. Talk time is less than an hour, and static is bad enough that I often have to switch to the phone to be able to hear. I am hoping this is just a bad unit, but I've already swapped it out once -- at least it's bad quality control.

Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good sound quality, Good Value

Excellent unit. I had two others before I had this one. Extremly light weight very comfortable and does not lose calls as fast. There is no static and when calls come in the ring is pleasant. Buy this one and you will be happy

By Blackwater1 w from Gilbert, AZ on 5/19/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good sound quality, Good Value

The unit produces great sound quality and is easy to activate. The volume buttons are small and difficult to manipulate while the unit is being worn, but overall the unit is minimum in size and unobtrusive as far as ear pieces go with fine sound quality and sleek looks.

This is the best headset offered by bluetooth,for the money it cannot be beat.It's easy to pair with your cell and once you do connect the headset to your phone,The rest is just foolproof I highly recommend the HS500.

By Chris R from Austin, TX on 4/2/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good sound quality, Good Value

Loses signal if I am too far from my phone, but gets it back once I'm near it again. It takes about 10 seconds to get the signal back, but it doesn't drop the call...I can hear the person I am talking to, but they can't hear me until the signal is back again. Be patient and all works great. Great buy! This is one of the cheaper ones and seems to get better reviews.

By DJ B from PA on 3/27/2006

I could hear just fine on it, comfortable to wear. The problem is the people I called kept hearing an echo and static, though I couldn't. I'm returning it today.

Pros:

After trying 3 other headsets this is the one. Motorola has by far the best bluetooth I've found. Tried the Plantronics 320, a lot of static... same with the Bodyglove Bluevoice.

By Elena D from Sullivan, MO on 1/28/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good sound quality, Good Value

I love it!! I tried the Plantronics brand and I was really unhappy with the quality, and it was uncomfortable-bunglesome. With the H500, it's lightweight, easy to program and use. The volume is great, whether you're talking or listening. The price isn't too bad either. Go for it!!

Excellant headset! Sound ...
By Ray J from Va. Beach on 1/13/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good sound quality, Good Value

Excellant headset! Sound quality, comfort, etc. were all top notch. I'm VERY happy with this headset. Nice LOUD, clear volume - adjustable of course. Lots of features all of which work perfectly. I gave it a 4 on ease of use though for only one reason; the two volume buttons are positioned on directly opposite sides which makes it slightly hard to press one without pressing the other sometimes. But once you get used to it it's no big deal. - But overall, this is such a great headset. I love it and would not hesitate getting it again or recommending it!

I picked this headset because it looked nice and because it was a newest one. It was very easy to pair with my phone and very easy to use. Everyone that I talk to says the H500 sounds better than my (Phone)Motorola V551.
