DSP reduces echo and ambient noise while Bluetooth 2.0 ensures compatibility with today’s hottest phones.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Great sound, 755p compatible, abysmal battery life
Sound quality (my end and their end):

I am very pleased with how well I can hear others, even with background noise around me. My dad mumbles, and I can hear him more clearly on this headset than others I’ve tried. However, the folks I talk to tell me that they can’t tell any difference between how I sound when I talk to them with this headset compared to my previous Jabra 5020 (which cost $30). I had to shell out $$$ for this item because my phone is nearly incompatible with bluetooth headsets, but if I didn’t have a Sprint Treo 755p (fellow 755p owners see below), I would have stuck with the Jabra 5020’s comparable sound (although my 5020 literally fell apart after 1 month).

If I make too much background noise on my end (crumpling newspaper, running water, shuffling papers, moving dishes etc), it’s painfully loud for folks on the other end. But that has been the case for my Jabra 5020, Motorola H700, Plantronics Voyager 510, Gennum NX6000 and even a wired Jabra. And they can turn their headsets down.

Comfort and fit:

I find this VERY comfortable. It’s made for user’s to nestle the ear bud in your ear. It comes with ear gels in 3 sizes, and the medium fits my medium-small ear well. It will NOT stay in my ear without the flexible ear loop. The ear loop is bendable and did not break when I bent it to fit my ear. It has held its shape. Now I can shake my head and the headset won’t budge.

Battery life:

The battery life is VERY poor and disappointing. I can only get a max of 60 minutes of talk time out of it. Even if I leave it turned on but don’t use it, the battery drains in less than a day. I would have expected more battery life for this much money. I’m thinking of returning it for that reason. Note: I left the headset plugged into the charger all night. When I went to bed, the light was blue (indicates full charge, but when I retrieved it this morning, the light was red (low charge). Go figure.

FOR TREO 755p USERS:

I have a Sprint Treo 755p and finding a headset that is compatible with it has been a nightmare. I have only had this headset for a week, but so far it seems to be causing fewer problems than my previous 4 headset attempts. The headset picks up calls when it’s supposed to about 85-90% of the time, which is by far the best I’ve experienced. FYI, I do not route calls directly to the headset, I press the button on the headset when I get or make a call. My Treo soft resets itself a whole lot, but it’s hard to say if that has anything to do with the headset or not. It does it more frequently when the headset is on, but still does it when the headset’s turned off.

5 Stars Excelent for iPhone
The best bluetooth headset for iPhone. Low battery consumption, great sound quality. Definately a product to have, if you have an iPhone.

4 Stars And they say size doesn’t matter…
Love the small size of this Bluetooth, although it’s still not totally comfortable. Sound is good on both ends, though!

3 Stars Did not work for me
This item did not work for me. People on the other end kept saying that my voice was cutting in and out. I tried this item with different phones and different locations but I could never get it to work to my satisfaction.

4 Stars Great headset
After my wife’s headset gave up the ghost we were looking for new headsets. Someone else had another one of these and with the cool amazon pricing we decided to go for it. The H680 has been a great little unit that sounds pretty good (loud) and when you are called on one it sounds good too. The battery seems to last pretty well and the little magnetic recharging doc is a nice feature too. It would be nice if you could charge it easy in the vehicle but the power connection is not a standard mini-usb so it doesn’t work with the other accessories we already have. But considering we had the similar problem with the other it’s not that big of a deal. They connected with up with our 1G and 3G iphones.

4 Stars great product at great price
i bought this as a gift. user seems to like it, it works well and it was very affordable.

5 Stars Super headset
Lightweight — great especially for women’s small ears. Easy to link to cell phone. Easy to turn off and on. Charges in base, which is a great +. The base also protects the headset when not in use as it appears to be a bit fragile. Sound quality is good for the listener as well as the person doing the talking. Only downside was that it only came with one ear listening device when the paperwork stated in the paperwork that it had more than one.

1 Star USED and Crappy
As others have posted .. it appears this is used .. and slightly worn. the clip around the ear is frail and thin .. and after 5-6 trips of using it, it just simply snapped. I unfortuately was away on afew business trips and didn’t open the package for 2-3 weeks after I got it .. and it was around day 41 .. it broke .. so now I am stuck with an old, broken ear bud …

Beware of what and who you buy from… anyone have any suggestion about how to get a refund. it has been about 60 days now since purchasing ..

1 Star DONT BE FOOLED
After tons of research, this looked like the perfect headset.

Even with seeing a few poor reviews, i thought i must have been isolated.

I was wrong. 1st purchase i could not get bluetooth to sink. No matter what, after reboots, software upgrade on my Sprint Mogul.. Still nothing.

I returned it with no problems. I repurchased it again through another site. this time not bulk. It was boxed up with all the accessories.

This one has a 6 hour battery life when NOT being used. About and Hour when it is used. Its very sensitive and turns on easily leaving you with a suprise ( no batterly life ) on a regular basis.

Is it clear?? YES. VERY.

Would i purchase it again? NO. Im trying to return the second one now.

1 Star crap,crap crap
I picked one of these up after reading they were one of the best out ther.It was my 3rd bluetooth.The sound quality is lousy,I have to hold it tight against my ear in noisy locations,which pretty much negates the “hands free” aspect.But the biggest pain is that the thing is really hard to put into pairing mode.I’ve actually given up trying to get it paired with my blackberry curve because I was going to be late for work.I’m going to pick up a Motorola tomorrow.

4 Stars Works good with one but not the other
The jawbone 2 works great with my Palm Treo 750, but leaves much to be desired with the iphone. This is the second one that the good people at Amazon have sent me and neither worked well with my wife’s iphone. Lost phrases and high pitched tinny-ness at times.

I can definitely recommend it for the Treo. It’s a great headset. But don’t get the “bulk-pkg.” You only get 1 ear stopper and 1 ear loop. Pay the extra for ALL the options.

4 Stars Jawbone Bulk Packaged
Arrived quickly. I was surprised to see that it came with an assortment of attachments because a lot of reviews said it did not have the extra ear pieces or the extra loops.

Sound quality seems good, no complaints from others yet.

5 Stars Motorola H15 Review
I have been using my Moto HS805 for several years now.

I loved being able to use a AAA battery but hated the size.

I bought the H15 and I love it!

The sound is clearer than the HS805.

When I’m driving with my windows down, I don’t hear that

tell-tale hiss; neither do the people I am speaking to.

It’s so light, I sometimes forget I’m wearing it.

I did buy the H12 from Costco a few months back;

Hated It!

I would recommend this headset to anyone using Bluetooth;

especially in California where it is now LAW to use a

Bluetooth headset while driving!!!

5 Stars Motorola H15
Great product. Works well. Only disapointment is that bulk packaging does not include different sizes of ear buds.

3 Stars krhineland
The ear piece works without problem but I bought it as “bulk package” item and that has been problematic. I sent the first one back because it did not have the extra ear buds and then the second one came without the desktop charging cradle, which isn’t absolutely necessary to charge but its a handy to have the cradle ready to use. No problem with Amazon, they were very prompt on handling my problem but I’m still stuck with a unit that doesn’t have the cradle, I could return it again but what will the next bulk package unit have missing. I should have paid the extra $20 or so for the standard purchase unit.

1 Star DO NOT BUY!
Do not buy this headset, not only it doesnt ship with all the items (im missing my desktop charger) but its really uncomfortable, and sometimes the volume buttons get stuck. None of the earbuds fit (at least to my ear or my girlfriend).

I wish i could put a 0 star rating, as that is what it deserves..

1 Star Be Aware of what you are getting
I assume they added the “Bulk Packaged” designation because of all the complaints they were getting when the order arrived. The unit comes in a zip lock bag – that is right a zip lock. Also the instruction are a poor copy of the original – not even copied in the correct order. And as the previous reviewer stated it only comes with one ear piece. If you don’t mind that (the ear piece that came with mine did not fit right) then I guess you will be pleased. I ended up returning mine (they shipped it twice as even customer support could not believe the package I received and wanted to make sure it was just not a mistake).

I have never ordered a ‘new’ product from Amazon and received such a poorly packaged item. I ended up ordering the slightly higher priced same item (see below) and it came in the manufacturer’s packaging with everything I expected included. I guess you live and learn.

The item I ended up ordering was: Motorola 89239 H15 Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Wireless Headset [Wireless Phone Accessory]

The H15 itself is excellent and I am very satisfied with the product. My low rating was just to give you a heads up on what you will receive if you order this specific version of the H15.

5 Stars Love this bluetooth!!
I’ve had it for about a month… Love that it is easy to link… Love that it ISN’T on my head!!… love that my husband can link when he uses my car (I need to get another for HIS car!)… sound quality is better than I expected & MUCH better than my ear-bud bluetooth!

Ya think I LOVE this piece of equipment?

3 Stars A Good priced speakerphone alternative to higher end models..
This is meant to be short and sweet: Got this for my girlfriends birthday

so we could talk in the car w/o her having to hold her phone up to her mouth while i was on speakerphone….

Pros:

1. Very very clear (for both parties)

2. Fits snug on visor

3. Battery lasts forever on a single charge

Cons:

1. Takes forever to pick up a caller (rings on blueants side around 7th ring on phone side)

2. Can make the person driving seem like they are far away from the speakerphone at times

3. Bluetooth connection can be annoying when first set up (not picking up the partnership right away)

So in summary we give a 3. While this is our first bluetooth speakerphone device and its very clear and easy to use it does have its flaws. Still works well but could be better especially in picking up the caller (should be faster and not when the phone almost rings to voicemail)

4 Stars good product
I drive a lot for work, and California doesn’t allow drivers to hold the phone. I wanted a speakerphone that would connect with more than one device. Unfortunately, that capability isn’t what I had hoped for in this unit. I wanted a unit that would switch to the active device, to link up when I’m dialing a call, or to answer a call. Although this says it connects to “up to 5 devices” … it does it one at a time, and only automatically connects to the last device it was paired with; to switch device pairing, you have to put it in the pairing mode, and initiate the pairing on your phone/device. For me, that makes the “multiple pairing” claim a bit of nonsense; certainly it’s not feasible to switch devices while you’re driving.

Other than that, I really like this unit. Voice quality is clear, operation is simple (even without looking at it), battery life is great, and the automatic volume works well. I bought a unit for myself last year, and this one was a gift for my sister (who hates using an earpiece). She only has the one cell phone, and is very happy with the way this works.

5 Stars great product
The bluetooth is a must for anyone who drives and has a cell phone you get clear and hands free talk. You think how i ever got along before without one.

5 Stars BlueAnt
I love my BlueAnt!! It is so much better than another gadget behind my ear. The only downside is that everyone in the car can listen to your conversation, but I don’t care so it’s good for me.
