Bluetooth?

greglepore · 07-18-2006, 03:46 AM

I just picked up a Razr V3c and a H500 headset. The sound quality of the headset stinks, both inbound and outbound. Any tips or sage advice? Better headsets etc? I bought the thing just to loose the wired headset on my old Samsung, and now I want it back.

I bought a Q (and returned it) and got a Treo. I had the Motorola headset left over from the Q. Quality stunk. So I returned that and got the best bluetooth they had ~$100. It's only marginally better. It's OK in the car with the windows up but that's about it. I see all the guys wearing the bluetooth headphones all day long and think it's like they're bragging about having something that stinks. Mine I keep in my pocket until I need it.

Check out Plantronics or Jabra, much better quality than Moto.

I have had good luck with my H500 and with my job, leaving it in my pocket is not an option, as I'm almost always on the phone

The Treo Headset is much louder than the Moto unit.

Moto H500 is the low end headset - try the H850 - eons better. See if you can trade up...

I'm VERY happy with my Plantronics Discovery 640.

I'll never buy another moto BT headset.

some of the new panasonic cd players are bluetooth capable, the module comes with a mic, audio is heard through the car speakers, and there is a simple send/end button thing, also all the info which shows on your phone when ringing appears on the radio display, also mutes if a call comes in

That was what I was suppose to get, the H850, but they were back ordered and sent something else, which I returned for a refund. I felt like others who posted about BTs, then found a deal on the H500, $23, brand new, in the box, for a goofy colored one, so I figured it would be better to take a chance on the $23 and if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be out much. When this one dies, I'll move up.
