Unusable in Car
In acar, while driving around, the microphone quality is poor enough that voice recognition on the phone no longer works. So calls can not be made from a car. Even putting the microphone right up to my mouth does not work. Sometimes answering a call causes the speaker phone in the phone to activate. On those rare occasions when a call actually works it's very difficult to hear to person on the other end.

Great value!
I received my H500 from my daughter, because it didn't fit her ear well and she had to get a different one. It also doesn't fit her dad's ear, so comfort is more a matter of ear shape than the piece being intrinsically uncomfortable. It fits my ear perfectly and I love it! It's very lightweight, so I forget it's there, it has excellent sound, easy three-button operation, and I've just set it up for voice dialing, in honor of the new CA hands-free-while-driving law effective 7/1/08. I highly recommend the H500, but see if you can try before you buy.

Great price for a well made bluetooth
Bought it mainly for the price as a replacement to H350 that I lost. Liked the fact that the device isn't that big and that ear piece didn't have those flimsy plastic spacer like like other Moto bluetooth (foldable kind from the past that rips). Good voice quality and not a bad bluetooth to phone connectivity.

Good choice for the price
I only use my blue tooth device when driving, it was very important to me as my vehicle is manual transmission so you know... The only thing I don't like about this blue tooth, is that sometimes when I turn it on, it won't link with my cell phone (chances are 1/6), so turning it off and back on would work but, it doesn't convince me. It doesn't look "cute" but it does the job.

Overall a good buy for the price
I purchased mine in 2006 and it would still be working now if my daughter didn't spill water on it for the umpteenth time. When I first got it I have to admit it made my ear hurt but I realized that I had it turned down too far and once I pointed it upwards a little the discomfort went away.

I use it with a Palm Treo 700w and it has never given me a problem. It pairs everytime, volume is good indoors.

The only con I can see with it is that it is a little too sensitive to surrounding sounds. When outside, people usually hear the wind or cars way louder than me talking. Also, I usually have to mute my radio in the car because it picks that up loudly too.
