You buy cheap, you get cheap. Outgoing speech quality is OK, with some low-level hum audible to the other party. Incoming voice is better. The single-button function control makes turning the device on and off a matter of guesswork. I have to verify by looking at the phone’s display. If I needed a headset more than infrequently, I would toss this one and buy something better.

I used this bluetooth everyday for about a month before the button would no longer work. This is the same problem I had with the last one I had. Then it stopped connecting to my phone all together. Would not recommend if you are going to use it multiple times a day every day.

I was very excited to find this bluetooth. I bought the same one in red from Target and lost it. I havent been able to find this style anywhere. I just got a new phone in this wine/maroon color family and it was the perfect fit. The price of 15.00 made it worth the deal. Great buy on the H500!!! Very pleased with the fast shipping.

I live by a cellphone. I am a security officer and drive a patrol cart. Having a cellphone up to your ear is not acceptable at post. All officers are allowed to wear bluetooths. I had the exact same model about 3 years ago and fell in love with it. I have very small ears and any bluetooth that goes in my ear hurts because it pushes on the walls of my ear and leaves bruises. I was very limited with my usage. This bluetooth lays against your ear and has a nice speaker. It is very light weight making it a pleasure to wear. The best feature (other than not being in my ear) is the discreet mode. You can turn off the blue light when calls come in so that no one knows you are on a call. (other than the fact that you look like you are talking to yourself). I have had 4 different bluetooths through a 4 year period and of them only the Motorola has done a great job. I have had a Sony Ericcson, Plantronics, and a Jabra.

The price of bluetooth devices has gone down dramatically that I was able to justify buying one:) The H500 works fine with our LG Shine. Although you may need to talk a little louder so that the other person can clearly understand you (Well, not too bad really).

It was an easy setup. The device itself looks fine, not too dorky in my opinion. It also has a nice blue LED light. Available in many colors of choice.

Why 3 stars? The volume control is hardly palpable. It is hard to adjust the volume while in use. Your fingers may tend to slipped while trying to adjust. Even the call button is difficult to press.

I like the ear hook can be flipped to be used either on your left or right ear. It is also not too heavy to be worn comfortable on your ear. Rating: 3 / 5
