Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset (Nickel) Reviews
Review by M. Hunt:
Motorola may have evolved the perfect set of operation instructions coupled to simple feedback sounds and lights with the H500. Plus the 3 buttons are easy to operate because they are large enough and in convenient locations though they could benefit from being less smooth/easier to feel with some tactile bumps. I also had the latest Logitech "Mobile Traveller" headset to compare to which had confusingly complicated feedback sounds and light patterns and difficult buttons and fewer functions (no hold). I paired the headsets to a Motorola Razr V3 for testing.
-----The wind-cancelling technology and greater volume capability were the only advantages missing from the H500. Under noisy conditions such as in a car or crowd of people, the H500 could benefit from greater volume capability so that you can hear better.
-----I tested the headsets by calling a credit card voice response system for uniform responses. With the slightest bit of wind noise from a fan, the H500 mike cannot pick up your voice at all while the Logitech had no problem. It may be that the H500 mike is so extremely sensitive it gets overloaded by noise and wind and this limits pickup in those conditions.
-----I tested voice quality by recording on the phone's voice recorder and by calling my answering machine, then listening to the results. The H500 seems to provide the whole audio range where the Logitech seems focussed more toward the high end. This means that if you have a deep male voice it sounds more natural from the H500, but you will be more understandable and less muffled sounding from the Logitech which gives your voice a thinner and higher sounding quality.
-----The H500 is not as secure on my ear (which is of the sticking out variety), but it won't come off even if you shake your head upside down. Plus, this makes it very comfortable (you forget you're wearing it) and easy to hook it on and off with one hand. I could not put on the Logitech without 2 hands (and a mirror) and a lot of rotation adjustments and then after wearing it for a while, it would slowly start to pinch and hurt.
-----The construction of the H500 is all quality plastic and soft rubber against the ear instead of cheap foam covering which cruds up and shreds.
-----The electronic range is fantastic and I believe this strong signal connection is important if any interference factors are nearby. I am able to hear people quite clearly at distances away from the phone where they stated my voice is completely lost. In listening to recordings, it does seem that the H500 adds some electronic noise (like static or popping) compared to talking on the phone directly.
-----The headset's ringing tune is "Flight of the Valkyries" by Wagner, which I think is cool. The Razr phone itself reverts to a simple call alert sound when a headset is connected.
Now here is that perfect operation set:
STATUS-----ACTION Button-----RESULT
Switched Off-----Hold until steady light-----Pairing mode

Review by bob:
I have a Motorola e815, and was using a Motorola hs850 headset (see my review). That headset was compact and easy to use, but felt very wobbly, and the sound quality (especially receiving volume) left something to be desired. I got the h500, and I really love it!
First, it's volume is much better than my previous headset. When the environment is noisy, I can hear my call! The transmitter is about the same quality-not as good as a wired unit, but good enough to be heard on the other end. A big plus here is that when the phone rings, there is a tone in the headset when it's one also. The HS850 didn't have one, and if you miss the ringtone, you miss the call. This backup tone has alerted me several times before I was aware of the phone itself.
Second, the earpiece is better designed and more comfortable. It has a small notch that fits over the front curve of your ear, that aligns the mic on your ear. The earpiece, while thin, doesn't feel as flimsy as my previous Motorola, which always felt like it was ready to flop around at the slightest motion. While it's not rock solid, it feels much more secure.
Third, it has a mute feature, handy for those times when you need it.
Finally, the finish is great. The on/off button is surrounded by chrome, and the plastic body looks metallic. The finish exudes quality. Pairing this unit was ultra simple. I don't have talk/wait times yet, but I love this headset. It would be perfect if it had a battery indicator or caller ID feature. It's a keeper.

Motorola H500 Bluetooth Wireless Headset (Soft Black) Reviews
Review by Kyle Felker:
I purchased this unit to use with my motorola V3 Razr cell phone so that I could talk hands-free with people while I did things around the house. It replaced my previous headset, a motorola HS810, which I let get exposed to water (whoops).
Despite the higher price tag on the HS810, I feel this is a better headset. It's very sturdy-I've dropped it on my hardwood floor and it still works just fine. There is no unfolding boom mike with a hinge that wears out. The controls are simple-hold down the call button to turn it on or off, tap it to answer or hang up. Mating the device to my phone was simple and took seconds, and I haven't had it drop a call yet. The microphone seems to work very well-I've never had anyone complain that they couldn't hear me, and I've used the unit outside in windy conditions.
Of course, there are some negatives. I wish the volume was louder-I have it turned up all the way and it still sounds a little faint. The earpeice is tight and secure but it also pinches, so long calls are going to be uncomfortable. It's also not as eye-catching as some other bluetooth headsets.
If you want a workhorse headset that's dependble, reliable, and sturdy, this is the unit for you. It's a great value for the price.
Review by G. Offer:
No matter which manufacturer or what model, it has become impossible to get a positive opinion on a Bluetooth headset these days!
Everybody just keeps whining about range (read up on Bluetooth technology, will ya?!), crackle, low volume and disconnects.
I'm glad I took the user reviews for the H500 with a grain of salt, overcame my fear and got this headset for my Nokia 6230i.
Pairing was a cinch. In over two weeks of use, I have yet to experience a disconnect. Volume and clarity are pretty darn good, range is excellent (for Bluetooth) and battery life is AMAZING (4 days to a charge, on average, with fairly extensive use). I have tested this headset while on foot outside and while driving my car. No problemo.
My suggestion to the nitpickers complaining about these headsets: state the make and model of your mobile phone in your reviews. It could very well be that it is your mobile phone that's to blame for your poor experiences. Specifying the type of phone you use will enable potential buyers with the same phone to steer clear, while the rest of us can go ahead and enjoy the wonders of 21st century technology.
By the way, I am technologically savvy, have had bluetooth headsets for over a year now and, if you haven't guessed it yet, am very, VERY happy with the Motorola H500.
Highly recommended.

I purchased this mostly to work as a headset with my Playstation 3, it works fine for those purposes and as a bonus works well with my phone, a Samsung Instinct. Range is good, comfort is adequate, and it is fairly easy to use. Only complaint is being able to switch from one device to another but as I understand it this feature is available on higher-end models.

Review by Nuknuk:
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.
Review by Franhp:
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.

Review by Kay:
This bluetooth is much more comfortable resting on the ear. Easy to make calls and receive calls. Volume buttons allow for a lot of leeway in the setting. Still working on getting the voice dial to work without disconnecting the call, but I kept the short information sheet provided with it. (I am sure it is the operator and not the unit itself). I am very pleased with my purchase. It has a longer talk time than my previous BT, much more comfortable and paired easily with my LG phone. And, I love the pink color!
Review by Alicyn:
I am still not sure if I am going to keep it or buy another kind. I liked it since it matches my phone perfectly.
When I call people they always have trouble hearing me and I can't always get the volume high enough to easily hear them either. If you hit any breeze at all while outside you just can't use it, I was walking backwards just to cut the breeze and it wasn't a strong wind.
What frustrates me the most is that it's kind of a pain to turn off, making it hard to switch back to my cell if I don't want to use it. I like the range it has to the phone. I can leave my phone in the dining room and answer a call from the kitchen and talk easily hands free while cooking or cleaning up.
It's very comfortable on my ear.

Review by Lee Rowley:
I purchased this Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset when I upgraded my phone to a BlackBerry Curve 8530. I love this little headset! It was really easy to set up and paired with my BlacBerry on the first try and it has given me no problems since.
It is relatively comfortable to wear as it doesn't actually go into the ear. I have very small ear canals and have been unable to use most earbuds so this is a great product for me. I thought it would be uncomfortable to wear but it has been really easy to get used to and isn't heavy or bulky at all. I still have a little trouble with it slipping once in a while, but I think that is due to user error and not a problem with the product.
I would like to say that Amazon's "frustration free packaging" is wonderful. I liked the fact that I didn't have to get out my knife to get into the product and the amount of packaging was minimal. Keep up the good work with that packaging.
Overall, this is a great product. The price was very reasonable and it comes in a variety of colors. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable, easy to use headset.
Review by applehead39:
H500 is easy to use and isn't expensive. Only four stars because it disconnects from my Blackberry as I try to make a call sometimes. Better to make a call first and then connect, or try re-syncing the device to your phone if you've made any recent phone OS upgrades.

Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset (Silver) Reviews
Review by John Williamson:
Bluetooth cell phone headsets are really a subjective choice... period.
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 0 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.

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, whichever color you pick.
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.
Review by K. Alleyne:
This blue tooth is a very good one, but the one I got sent is a piece of trash. I tried to have Amazon correct it, and they sent me to the vendor. Another piece of garbage. He cussed me out and erased my review. All over 22 stinking dollars. well Amazon and Blue Harbor online could keep the whole . and wipe their @$$e$ with it/ because I will buy NOTHING from either again. So much for Cot Damn customer service. How you like that for a review. Oh and you can erase this stuff to look good too I don't give a damn.
