I purchased this headset a week ago as a companion for my H700 bluetooth headset. The phone I am using is a Motorola KRZR k1m. After a week's worth of pretty rigorous use, I have the following observations to offer.
My primary areas of interest in a bluetooth headset are size and weight, clarity of the call, talk time, comfort, quality, reliability and ease of use. Although this unit is expensive, cost is not a concern for me. I have to say that this headset has delivered so far on all of the above. The unit is very light in the hand and not much heavier than my H700 model. It also doesn't feel heavy on the ear. I called numerous people to test the overall clarity of my calls and received thumbs up as far as clarity goes. Everyone could hear me and I could hear them very clearly as well. The elevated speaker fits nicely in the ear so you don't have to turn it up very loud to hear. The earpiece is comfortable around my ear but I know that one size does not fit all so Motorola has included two addditional earpieces that can be interchanged to fit your ear size. The headset feels very solid and well made as far as quality goes. I like the idea of a sliding earpiece which extends outward when you press the call button. It's also very attractive to look at and the design is stylish, although this is secondary for me.
I have not had any issues with dropped calls or static, etc. with this headset so I consider it to be reliable so far. As for ease of use, it's quite simple to use and no more difficult than any other headset on the market. Even the "easy pair" was just as the name implies and doesn't require too much technical knowledge. The only thing I'm waiting to address is the call time of this headset. I charged it once when I got it and it's still going strong after about one hour of talk time a day over the last 7 days. So I figure I'm at about 7 hours of talk time and no sign of the headset needing a charge yet. So my unit exceeded the standard talk time of "up to 6 hours". Hopefully it will come in at the 8 hour range. I'm not a heavy user of the headset unless I'm driving in the car which is where I tend to use it the most. The only area of concern I can find about this headset is the fact that it does utilize a "micro" USB charger rather than a "mini". The headset comes with a home charger unit in the package plus a "micro" adapter you can use to adapt any other standard mini USB charger you might have laying around. Although quirky, this is not enough to make me downgrade my rating. It's worth mentioning again that Motorola does provide two additional ear pieces to swap out. Overall, I'd give this unit a 5 out of 5 and would recommend it to anyone willing to spend the money.
