Bluetooth Headset Reviews

PC Magazine has a review of the Motorola H800 and writes – “Even so, its sliding Bluetooth Headset H800 performs well and has a nice design without being outré. In addition, the H800 is light and comfortable, capable of remaining perched on your ear all day without irritation. The big new feature—the RapidConnect slider—is modest but still welcome. The H800 is a sleek-looking piece, long and thin. Getting the headset on quickly is a breeze with no earbud to fit, just a swiveling ear hook. The controls are the basic call button on the device’s face along with volume buttons on either side. The call button controls just about every headset function.”

PC Magazine has a review of the Motorola H9 Mini and writes – “Oddly, for something so small, the H9 is rather conspicuous. More sizable headsets curl around the ear, get lost behind the flap, and contour to the shape of a jaw. The H9 juts out of the ear into a bulbous oval that seems incongruous against a person’s profile. On top of that, the glowing blue stylized “M” on the headset’s face turns the user into a walking billboard, particularly since it flashes while the headset’s in use. In addition, wearing the H9 was unpleasant. Although weight is not an issue—the H9 weighs less than an ounce—the feeling of the eartips inside the ear and the accompanying “dead ear” sensation, blocking out ambient noise, made me eager to remove the thing. For short usage bursts, though, the headset should be tolerable.”

CNET has a review of the Motorola H9 Miniblue and writes – “The Motorola H9 Miniblue Bluetooth headset is quite possibly the smallest Bluetooth headset we’ve seen. Measuring only 1.2×0.8×0.5 inches (or 1.2×0.8×1.4 inches, if you include the length of the eartip), it is barely larger than a quarter and weighs less than an ounce. Clad in a stylish black-and-silver color scheme, its entire front face houses the multifunction button, which glows blue when activated. On its left and right spine are the volume controls, which can be re-oriented depending on your preference. You do this by pressing both the Call button and the volume button you wish to assign as the “volume up” control until the indicator flashes twice. The multifunction button is large and gives a satisfactory click when pressed, and though the volume buttons are much smaller, they are sufficiently raised above the surface so that they, too, are easy to find and press.”

CNET has a review of the Motorola S9 and writes – “Sleek and aerodynamic, the S9 weighs less then an ounce, which makes it one of the lightest stereo headphones we’ve seen. It also employs a simple, behind-the-head design that isn’t clunky and doesn’t look too conspicuous when worn. The rearmost portion of the headset, which holds the power button and charger jack, is the largest part of the S9 at almost an inch wide, but the ends connecting the earbuds taper to a slim diameter of .25 inch. We tested the red-and-blue version, but it also comes in a more subtle gray-and-black model as well. The S9 is water- and sweat-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about wearing it during a hard workout.”

Infosyncworld has a review of the Motorola H700 and writes – “The stylish, metallic Motorola H700 offers up solid call-handling features including redialing, voice commands and call-swapping functions, as well as a multicolored indicator light. Unfortunately, the compact headset falters with its iffy call quality, which was plagued by excessive static and echoes.”

PC Magazine has a review of the Motorola H500 and writes – “There are some good things to say about this headset. If you plan on using the H500 while stationary, it’s not half bad. People looking for a way to talk hands-free while sitting or driving will find it a decent-sounding product that’s easy to take off and put back on while focusing on something else (like driving, for instance). But those who like to walk and talk will balk at its loose fit, dated style, and the way it grows uncomfortable after you wear it for a while.”

CNET has a review of the Motorola RAZR H3 and writes – “Yet it’s quite possible that the Motorola Razr H3 Bluetooth Headset is the most fashion-forward headset to date … Thanks to the aforementioned ergonomic ear hook, the overall fit of the Razr H3 headset feels great. The Razr H3′s earpiece rests against the ear instead of jutting in the canal, which lets you wear the headset for long periods of time without any discomfort. Slipping the headset on and off is easy, even when wearing glasses.”

CNET has a review of the Motorola H700 and writes – “Arguably the best feature on the Motorola H700 is its PowerFlip foldable microphone. As with the HS850, folding the boom mic out turns on the headset, while folding it back in turns it off. This makes it incredibly easy to answer and end calls; you just flip it down to answer and flip it up to end. The reversible ergonomic ear hook has a rubberized back designed to cradle the ear, making for a very comfortable fit. Also, because the earpiece rests against the ear instead of inside it, you’ll hardly realize you’re wearing it.”

CNET has a review of the Motorola H500 and writes – “A welcome improvement upon the Motorola H500 is its new ergonomic ear hook, complete with a rubberized back housing designed to fit around the ear. The ear hook is adjustable for additional comfort and can be worn on either ear. As for the earpiece, it’s more like a speaker that just rests against the ear. This makes it a lot easier to put on and take off, unlike with headsets that have in-ear buds.”
