Summary: My Second H500 - Like it!
Comment: I bought an H500 a few years ago when it first came out. It was plagued with low volume and poor connection. After using a nokia bluetooth for the last year I got this one again because of the no cell phone laws in California as of July 1st.

This headset is plenty loud with my Sony Ericsson T650i and I haven't had it drop the bluetooth connection yet. The volume sits a little below half and I can hear perfectly in the car. Battery life rocks and voice clarity is a lot better than I remembered it with the first H500.

4 out of 5 stars because the ear clip is flimsy and doesn't allow the H500 to sit tightly against your ear. So if you're planning on using this while running or during an intense walk - don't count on it.

Definitely recommend this as a great bluetooth device. Can't go wrong with the price!

Summary: Almost but not quite
Comment: I don't use the H500 much but when I need it it's not loud enough, it breaks up, and is somewhat confusing to turn on and off. Overall I would pay the extra $3-$5 for the HS850 on Amazon.

Summary: Does the job; Reasonable Cost
Comment: This Bluetooth does the job at minimal cost. Can be a useful addition to driving safety if used carefully. Ideally one uses it with voice activated dialing, so that one need not mess with dialing, especially when driving. One can simply say a name into the Bluetooth and be automatically connected. Before you buy a Bluetooth enabled phone be sure it can do voice dialing.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Unusable in Car
Comment: In acar, while driving around, the microphone quality is poor enough that voice recognition on the phone no longer works. So calls can not be made from a car. Even putting the microphone right up to my mouth does not work. Sometimes answering a call causes the speaker phone in the phone to activate. On those rare occasions when a call actually works it's very difficult to hear to person on the other end.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great value!
Comment: I received my H500 from my daughter, because it didn't fit her ear well and she had to get a different one. It also doesn't fit her dad's ear, so comfort is more a matter of ear shape than the piece being intrinsically uncomfortable. It fits my ear perfectly and I love it! It's very lightweight, so I forget it's there, it has excellent sound, easy three-button operation, and I've just set it up for voice dialing, in honor of the new CA hands-free-while-driving law effective 7/1/08. I highly recommend the H500, but see if you can try before you buy.

Editorial Reviews:

For a wireless-savvy cell phone user who demands superior performance and a good value, the Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset offers the best of both worlds. With a compact and comfortable handsome gray design the headset delivers longer talk times at a great price. This headset is both discreet and stylish, yet Motorola does not scrimp on functionality. The small size and lightweight construction allows for easy storage when not in use. Just slip the device in your pocket or toss it inside your glove box. Also, don't be fooled by the headsets good looks -- this petite powerhouse provides impressive battery power and an omni-directional microphone to clearly pick up your voice. The H500 features lengthy talk and standby times -- up to eight hours of talk time or 150 hours of standby time from a single full charge. And included with the headset is a handy, compact travel charger so you'll never run out of power on the go.

When you use your H500 for the first time, you must pair the headset with your phone. Once your phone recognizes the headset, the H500 is easy to operate -- simply press the multifunction button, place the headset on your ear, and a link is automatically established. The multifunction button allows you to control three-way calling, call start and end, hold, and mute, all with one click. And with Bluetooth wireless technology, the headset will work with any compatible device at a distance of up to 30 feet (10 meters) away. Don't stop with just your cell phone; consider pairing the H500 with your Bluetooth-enabled PC for great, hands-free Voice Over IP (VoIP) communications.

Designed for anyone, the adjustable, ergonomic earhook with improved back housing allows the headset to be worn on either the left or right ear. You can also easily control the volume or mute your call directly from the H500. This Motorola wireless accessory is compatible with any Bluetooth 1.2 enabled mobile phones or devices that support headset and hands-free profiles.
