4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice headset!, September 22, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I can only really compare this unit to my other headset, the Plantronics 925 which I have used for almost a year or more.

Pairing: Stupidly easy with my iPhone 4. Took a second. Slightly more work with the Plantronics but nothing major.

Fit: The Plantronics is an in-ear model. This Motorola is more of an over the ear model with a piece to squish in the ear. It's pretty easy to take on and off. The only thing that I haven't got down 100% yet is that it tends to point away from my head when wearing it. Other than looking oddly, people on the phone have no trouble hearing me. The Plantronics stuffs into my ear so it has a more intimate feel. This one, much less so.

Turning on/off: This is a big consideration for me because I hate, hate, hate charging my headset. It always seems like when I need it the most, the battery is dead. To turn off the Plantronics, you have to hold the on/off button for about 3 to 4 seconds. Kind of a pain. The... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars what a bluetooth headset *should* be, September 21, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I've been searching around for a great bluetooth headset for years (literally), and while I found a few good ones, the majority of them were lacking in some way or other. This particular headset is really just...awesome.

The form factor is small with the boom closed, and it's very light. It ships with an on-ear hook, an in-ear hook, and two differently sized in-ear no hook options. I'm using the smaller of the two in-ear no hook pieces, and it is easily the most comfortable headset I've ever worn. The only problem is that I forget it's there, and I end up walking around all day with a headset in.

My headset showed up fully charged (which was nice), and when I opened the boom, a voice guided me through pairing it with my iPhone (!). I'm used to hunting through the manual to find the right combination of keypresses to get the the headset into pairing mode, but this headset anticipates that and immediately gets to work. Pairing the headset was the completely... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good., October 26, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Motorola HX550 Universal Bluetooth Headset, Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Very impressed with the noise cancelling on this. Fit is decent, but could be improved a little. Easy to use and voices are clear for both ends of the call.

Tested with loud running water, a loud range hood and in the car with talk radio on at a reasonable listening level. All situations gave good results to the person on the other end of the call and they couldn't even determine I was using a headset.

I give 5 stars for price vs. performance. Especially impressed after having tried the Jabra Extreme. That was immediately returned and given 1 star (see my review on that).
